Where is the restart button?
I just spilled an ENTIRE cup of coffee on my desk. And in some sort of cruel comedy of errors, the only place to get paper towels on the ENTIRE floor in my building is in the bathroom or the pantry where they have installed automatic dispensers (which, by the way, only work about half the time, so the rest of the time, when you leave the bathroom, you have to wipe your hand on your pants, but maybe they only work half the time because people insist on taking an extra paper towel to carry to the bathroom door so they can use it to GRAB THE HANDLE because OMG THE GERMS, THE GERMS, THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US ALL! How I haven't gotten swine flu yet by opening the bathroom door WITH MY BARE HANDS is beyond me) , so the only way to get a volume of paper towels is to stand in front of them and wave your hand, wait for the 6 inches of paper towel to come out, rip it off, then wave your hand again, wait, rip, and repeat LIKE 50 TIMES! And now all I can smell is a really gross mix of cleaning spray and coffee.

Based on this and your hot chocolate spilling a couple weeks ago, I'm thinking you might want to consider getting some kind of tea tray for your desk. You could make that the only place you'd put a cup of liquid, and at least it would contain the spills. Or maybe you could just preemtively cover your entire desk (and computer?) with multiple layers of paper towels so you can just peel away the wet ones after each spill.
Sadly, I thought I was being safe this time...it was in a travel mug. Apparently I flailed my arm so hard it knocked the lid off...I am a walking accident.
