Do you ever have those moments of overly productive staring where you just blank out for about 30 minutes?

    Yes, actually. I was watching the morning local news.

  • Did you miss the story on Freddy the Iguana that saved a whole pack of Cub Scouts from a bear while they were camping?

    Not usually for that long, but I do take mental breaks now and then.

  • I find them to be a requirement.  I'm most at peace and efficient when I can balance my focus.

    I don't think I make conscious decisions to take those breaks - they just come along and I go with them. :)

    Yes, I have done that however, it disturbs my cat.  He will stand in front of me and meow. If I don't respond he will paw at me with his nails out until I do.  I am usually in deep thought about something and it really irritates me I can't complete whatever it is.

  • Can you not simply give a brainless meow back to him?  It might at least buy you a few more minutes.

  • Yes, all the time. One of my coworkers at my last job used to always start singing circus them music at me when I’d go into my zoned out trance, to bring me back to reality. It usually worked. I don’t have anyone at new job to sing circus theme to me anymore -_-

    30 minutes? That's nothing to me.

  • So you snap out of it to find yourself sporting a thick beard and looking up at a billboard that says "Support your District...the 2075 Hunger Games are only two months away."
