Sexxy Vince's latest entry just reminded me of the dreams I've been having the past few days (and would rather not) -

I keep on dreaming that I'm in some work related situation where someone has asked me to complete a task on a very short deadline. This task involves some sort of value matching using Perl, but the correct answer doesn't work. I usually wake up right before I go crazy.

Unsurprisingly, these dreams are the result of real life bleeding into the subconscious. I've been furiously learning Perl the past week or so using Learning Perl, which is an excellent book for a wretched, wretched "programming language". Plus work has been a bit stressing the past week or so, with people throwing tasks upon tasks at me.

With these sorts of dreams, can you really blame me for being a little slow into work?
