I've spent a lot of today just sitting around at home thinking. Considering I get paid to do this it seems an ok use of my time. The added advantage to doing it here rather than at the office is that I have a bikini wearing wife sitting next to me, not something I get at the office.
The other advantage to thinking for a job is that I can look like I'm doing nothing for most of the day when in fact I'm solving world (ok, computer code) problems. I can distract myself for a moment and then go back to what I was thinking about and come up with new ideas. In fact I saw some research the other day that said doing a distracting task that allowed your mind to wander in between bouts of problem solving allowed people to be better at solving the problems and more creative in their solutions.
Therefore I have an official reason why I can goof off every so often during the day other than the fact it stops me from burning out. It makes me better at what I do so that I can do it while sitting next to my wife. I think I shall distract myself by looking at her now and allowing my mind to wander again.
