You Know You're Tired When ...

you bring up a screenshot of a desktop which has windows on it with scrollbars, and you keep clicking on the scrollbars and wonder why they don't scroll the window contents.

Time for a nap.

Or you keep trying to bring a window in front of another window that is obscuring it, and it keeps not working. And you finally realize that the window on top is a post-it note.

My favorite is trying to raise a window over a postit note on the edge of the screen; and I feel better for seeing I'm not the only one who has done this :)

Favourite ex-workplace trick for someone who had left their screen unlocked was to replace their desktop background with a screen shot before hiding all windows and icons. Very confusing!
