"M, I'm feeling tormented. I have too many problems to work out.. I'm figuring out problems in my sleep at night and again when I wake up in the morning."
"I'm sorry, dear. You need to pray about them and give them to the Lord to work out instead of dwelling on your problems."
Such a sweet, loving woman my wife is.
"No, they aren't problem problems but Sudoku problems. If I wake up at night.. in that half asleep half awake state I see rows and columns of numbers and I'm putting numbers in the boxes and trying to do it faster to beat my last time. It's like the burn-in you could get on the old televisions if you left the same video game image on there too long, except I have Sudoku burned into my brain and I see the puzzles when I close my eyes.
And when I'm not solving Sudoku problems in my head I'm trying to figure the solution to sorting an array of words in Ruby [I'm learning Ruby so I can learn Ruby on Rails so I can go to stuff like the CarsonWorkshops Summit and learn about making a killer web app] without using the 'sort' method.. I thought I had it worked out but there's a bug and I haven't tracked it down yet.. still learning the language and all. I've been stuck on it for a few days now.
And then this morning I woke up trying to decide if it would be more efficient to process the new loan portfolio we're buying using Salesforce or my old FilemakerPro solution.."
"Oh, that's just terrible dear.. you poor thing.."
I think the point here is that you need to get a hobby. :>
