So I'm looking out my office window and it's a gloriously sunny day, blue skies, it's cold, but sunny.  I walk into the office canteen and outside that window it's snowing, I run back upstairs and glance out my office window... sunny.  My office isn't even one block wide!?

canteen window - it's snowing,  my office window - it's sunny!?

What the hell is going on?

I'll admit it, I'm slightly scared!

I've had 5 cups of coffee in one hour.  My peripheral vision has shrunk to the size of a tennis ball, which is bad because I hate tennis, my heart rate is around 3000 beats per minute, I can't a stop shaking, which may be useful to a cocktail barman, but to a d d d d developer it's slightly concerning.  I'm hyper aware and seem to be able to watch everything in the room at once, even stuff behind me, everything is annoying... oh and I'm concerned I may spontaneously develop superhuman powers!

What's the cure for caffeine?

So you're walking along minding your own business, you reach a busy crossroads and are about to push the "Stop!" button to allow safe crossing.  When out of NOWHERE a small silver car drives through a puddle and drenches only your left leg (bizarrely) just below your crotch.  Dilemma!?

Do you:

  1. Sit down and weep at the ruining of your favourites jeans.
  2. Fly into a rage, while reaching into your pocket for any loose change (shrapnel) that you can launch maximum velocity at the offending vehicle.
  3. Quietly turn around and head back the way you came, realising that anyone you pass may assume (with disgust) you've had a "raincheck" in your pants.
  4. Decide, "what the hell" and continue walking while appearing fully confident with your incontinence issue, meeting the eye of anyone who frowns at you with a defiant stare?


I chose number 4 and was pleasantly surprised at how liberating it felt.

It's late evening and I'm having a sweet or savoury dilemma.  In my refrigerator I have an enormous fresh mango cheesecake that I bought on a whim yesterday, but.. I also have a selection of excellent cheese and wine that I purchased from my local deli this morning.

I'm sure you can see my indecision, what will I do.  Obviously I can't have both?! that would be grotesque, but I do want one of them.....

The dilemma continues.....
