Logically (T.G.E. - Part 30 of 40)

The Escape Plan

I have been asked by Kim and Jason to take part in their Adultitis Escape Plan, a 40-day plan to become more childlike (not childish)
and to reduce stress and prevent dullness, depression and [insert
another word beginning with ‘d’ here]. Of course I’m gonna do it.

Dreary-ness, that begins with ‘D’.


The thirtieth task: Figure out a way to bring some fun into a dreaded task today.

Friday is my work at home day, and I was trying to fix a particularly annoying bug that has been sitting on my to-do list for the last six months. I had to keep restarting a server and then changing things to test it worked correctly and didn’t break anything worse than it was to start with. Not particularly fun. And the fact I had managed to put it off for six months is a good indication that I wasn’t looking forward to it too much.

I noticed a book sitting on the bookshelf to my left -  a book of logic puzzles. The type with a bunch of clues and a grid you use to determine who did what, where and when kind of thing. My mother-in-law found it at her place lying around and gave it to me the other day. Thanks Carol! So while I was waiting for restarts and tests to run, I solved a few of these puzzles. Not super exiting, but it made me feel a whole lot better.
