This Comic Created In Notepad++
Based on a real experience I had on December 30, 2016. I later found out I simply had one of the files open that it was trying to write to.
I used some code from the actual automation to generate this. A co-worker did a double-take when he saw my screen output the text at the very bottom.
For anybody interested, here’s the actual source code for this comic, without any actual work done:
@echo off color 0C echo Doing all your work for you echo. echo ... echo ... echo ... set loop=0 :loop echo Access denied set /a loop=%loop%+1 if "%loop%"=="10" goto next goto loop :next timeout /t 10 >nul cls color F0 echo. echo Closing pod bay doors echo. timeout /t 1 >nul echo Turning off life support...... timeout /t 10 >nul
