How to lose an hour and a half without really trying.

Log in to your work gmail account and see:

(the “chat” block goes on ad infinitum)

And then watch your MailPlane application — and then Safari completely go into spinning beach ball of death. Then you:

• Test another account — works
• Test Firefox — works
• Test Chrome — works
• Remove labs, themes, clear out the inbox — go back, doesn’t work
• Uninstall flash — doesn’t work
• Resinstall flash — doesn’t work
• You try to run Safari’s dev tools before it locks up  — get incomprehensible error codes from google’s minimized js
• You get locked out of your gmail entirely because you keep trying too many different browsers
• Lather, rinse, repeat

This is the kind of stuff I really don’t enjoy about my job anymore.
