It’s not me, it’s…

I’m the intern. I’m sitting at my desk with very little to do.

And yet if you look on Communicator, you’ll see that I’m asking not to be disturbed.

I didn’t change it! Is there a keyboard short cut that I unintentionally pressed? After X minutes of inactivity does it randomly choose one of the other messages?

This has happened before, too. One time it told everybody I was in a meeting.

As soon as I notice that I am displaying a message other than “online” I immediately change it back, but then break into a sweat wondering how long it’s been like that.

Do people actually think I am asking not to be disturbed? Do people think I am a dirty liar for saying I am in a meeting when obviously I am not?

Either way, strike one against Microsoft Office Communicator. Shortcuts are fine and dandy, but should be off by default to prevent this from happening. Unless I intentionally click the status menu, I don’t want my status to change.
