SnTT: My dog ate my STCore.jar

My boss thinks I'm on crack. Seriously. Sametime was being a pain in the butt again today, so like always I went to restart it. After trying to restart Sametime, I was getting error messages in my log file like:

Well, with not much time before having to get out of here to get to my daughters game, I called Lotus support. After looking at my notes.ini, sametime.ini, and my log, he asked if I had the STCore.jar file on my system in the program folder. I looked, and it wasn't there. He sent me a new one, I installed it, restarted Sametime, and it worked! But where did the original STCore.jar go? He informed me that they have had a few instances where this has happened to others, but there is no reason why it happens to anyone.
I shared this with my boss, who now wants me to go to HR and pee in a cup to have it tested.
And I didn't think I was going to have anything interesting to blog about today.
