not when it's time to leave

If, driving, I leave for work at 10:00, I can get there on time. So that's when, as I'm trying to leave, Anniemal comes downstairs with her laptop. She can't get Firefox to start. I click on the icon, and it starts. I don't know what she'd been trying to do for the last hour, and I didn't want to take the time to discuss it. I suggested maybe she'd been clicking the wrong trackpad button. She thought it was absurd that that would even occur to me. So please explain why I had no trouble starting a program by clicking the icon with the pointer.
Then she brought me the license-plate stickers for the car's renewed registration. If she had them this morning, they must have arrived yesterday. Or the day before. Both days that I biked to work, so the car was here, and she could have put the stickers on. After arguing about the laptop I was really not in the mood to be even later to put stickers on. (You need to clean the corner of the license plate first to be sure it will stick.)
