I guess I am out of my mind. Oh yeah! Here is why:
When I joined this IT field, people did tell me about the potential side effects – namely definitely developing a paunch, possible hair fall, sure shot back pain, stress and blah blah blah. But no one ever told me that we would go out of our minds. (As if it would have mattered if they had told us)
The past few days have been really pathetic and crazy. I have been literally working on word and excels. And that was when I realized how inept I was with those two things. (That is another story for yet another time). Coming back, working with word or excel alone is enough to drive a novice crazy. I worked on both. And oh, did I mention Outlook?
In a course of the life of every professional in this esteemed line of work, there would certainly be times when he/she gets some dreams, rather nightmare, about work. It may vary from managers to some code or the application or if it is dream, then some hot co-worker :P.
Imagine my case – I got a dream about writing my Technical specification document. And I say write coz that's what I dreamt. I didn't type folks, but I wrote it. In a A4 sheet of paper with pencil (of course with a rubber-on-top pencil). I wrote about 40 pages and re-wrote 20 of them. Imagine how much my poor hand would pain. In fact it still does (al la inception: a pain is in the mind :P).
I woke up drenched in sweat. I just couldn't sleep again. And finally when I did sleep again, I continued writing the document.
And the next day, when I opened the document, I indeed searched for some changes only to realize that I was surely out of my mind and I needed to get in touch with a psychiatrist. L
