I remember that feeling, just being alone in an office at night freaks me out, i used to be the last out quite often and having to switch off and set alarms and lock up n shit. I once got through that process and had to go back as i left my car keys on my desk. It's not pleasant, there's a different set of noises to those at home that you have grown accustom to.

lotd76788ySure it was a mechanical keyboard, and not a bunch of bones rattling while being resurrected? ;)
Also beware of the junkies at night, they're out to spread their zombie plague, by stabbing you with needles.
Better go build a desk fort and wait for the sun to rise.
Nah, just kidding, take it easy and don't let fear get to you.. :) -
owithg21598y@lotd I have an office I share with one other person, but since they are gone the door is in my line of site, and partially blocked "accidentally" by a chair haha :) -
CptFox15788yOh sorry, could have been mine, it's said to be so loud that when on Discord, you hear it twice : when it gets through the mike, then when it echoes through the planet -
owithg21598y@eArshdeep alive for the moment, but a bathroom break is coming up and the hallway has the worst lighting I have ever seen! -
owithg21598y@gitpush I wish they were more helpful! Been fighting with 2 month old code that feels like the most legacy of legacy code -
There is only one solution to your problem. Exorcise the living shit out of all the keyboards in the office.
Exorciamus te in nomine etc etc
PS: you could also try summon a demon to protect you or help you with coding. -
Scipio6768y@owithg When did this start? Please don't tell me that you found out about this on your first day and instead of trying to get out you just made a pot of coffee and stated developing. Living in the office... code became your life... -
owithg21598y@eArshdeep haha not quite that bad. Today was crunch day. Either I could work Saturday, or pull a 24 hour shift of coding... -
owithg21598y@Plexus haha I made it out alive, but because some other devs didn't finish their shit, I have to try again... I have decided an offering is required to placate the ghost! I wonder if a sacrificeβ of usb drives is appropriate? -
owithg21598y@Plexus perfect! I will set it up a work station with coffee, a machine, and headphones so it can complete it's unfinished business πππ

It is 2:15am and I am alone in the office. I seriously hear a mechanical keyboard, but nobody else is here. I guess I die tonight.
