What would be the first thing you do at the office when back from a 2 week vacation?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Fill in a new vacation request form.

AND THE WINNER IS... 
Skipper: We'll fix it.

You asked
Quote: What would be the first thing you do
So I answered what I would do, not what you might do. If you have asked "what I would do" (meaning you here), I (me now), may have answered that there might be also tea in the cup

Burn him! Burn him with fire!
And I hear that he doesn't eat BACON either... clearly not a real developer...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As always - NSA hears all, but tells as less as possible...
I DO eat bacon - goose and turkey bacon

bacon - definition of bacon in English from the Oxford dictionary[^]
I'm sorry, but both the Oxford Dictionary of English and Merriam-Webster (for those who speak the U.S. dialect) refer to bacon as being made from pigs. Cured goose or turkey aren't called bacon.

Pah! Mock bacon!
That's like eating Carob and calling it Chocolate!
Or Budweiser and calling it beer...

Horrors! For the last thirty-five years I was under the impression that the mark of a true developer was drinking caffeine, eating pizza, and working odd hours!

My pizzas always have BACON on them!

coffee, bacon? what nonsense are you talking about. the only sustenance developers need is chips, and maybe with a little bug sauce.

Who's talking about coffee? The only civilised drink is a nice cup of tea.

Amen!
At my previous place of employment (a startup), they asked for suggestions on how the work environment could be improved. I asked for afternoon tea and biscuits to be served on proper china.
Needless to say, my suggestion was not accepted, and the company shut down soon after. I don't think there was a connection...

Of course there was a connection. We wouldn't have built such a large empire without tea and tiffin at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. EDIT It all went to pot once coffee was introduced. EDIT

Put my feet up for a couple of days, and pretend that I'm catching up on my e-mail.
(I'm really glad I use a "screen name" to post here)
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Long coffee break, then long-lunch, then another coffee break, then go home early.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
