I really am insane... For the past three days, i've been testing software... part of the testing involves the creation of a ton of user accounts... for the title field for the user accounts I keep entering HRH - -(her royal highness).... I'm just a skip away from wanting to be addressed as Your Majesty...

hehe, I get that way after I program for a few days. I've been caught walking around campus at 3am talking out loud in code trying to figure out why a program isn't working correctly.

The worst is when you're leaving work and the answer to a programming problem strikes you just as you get in your car. I always say, "Dammit!", turn around, and go right back in and start coding again.

Another way to maintain a healthy level of insanity: Capitalize Normal Sentences As If They Were Titles Or Other Proper Nouns.
