Damn Brain

[lokheed]

I spent all day working on one major area of the application, my goal was to complete it by the end of the day. I was just inches away from having it all working, but hit one snag. I finally gave up and decided to wrap it up tomorrow morning. Several hours go by. I spend a nice evening just hanging out with my wife. We spend some quality time together doing online quizzes (she is very smart, I am very dumb, go figure). We finally go to bed, I am lying there just about to drop off to sleep, when *ding* my brain goes off. So I had to get up and write code. Damn brain. Hopefully it will let me go to sleep, now that I have solved the code problem that apparently couldn't wait another 8 hours to be worked out.

It could be worse.

A (very techie, former MS PM and SQL DBA) friend of mine was in bed, engaged in, ahem, conjugal activities with her (now ex-) husband, when he had a similar *ding* moment. He proceeded to get up, unfinished, go downstairs and VPN into MS CorpNET to write and check in code.
