While preparing my lunch (sandwich, liquid yogurt and pop (soda)) my DSP cuts my sandwich into nine pieces (tic-tac-toe). During my lunch, a colleague places straws in my yogurt, pop and places the sandwich on a paper plate. I then grab each piece of the sandwich with my mouth (like a dog) until done.
