May We Have Your Attention, Please?

the first step is admitting you have a problem.

My name in phoenix911, and I have a problem, I need to know.

So what? What do you expect? People also stop work and sleep during a day. I myself took tests that indicated I had a three track mind, and when working on one problem or a number of problems did not appear to be doing things in the correct order, though actually was. The efficiency of Human Beings in relation to the task, or tasks is affected by a number of factors. Some are inherent in "the nature of the beast", and some come from a found or created environment. A human being is a mix of the adult, parent, and child. We easily recognize that children require playtime, so why is any work organization distressed at the needs for healthy and happy participation in the organization, by their workforce, when that workforce is composed of human beings? As an example from my own experience when writing a screenplay: It is a certain sort of work. I have problems doing it since I am not really suited to longform writing and am primarily a poet. To help me complete my task I kept a bb pistol by the desk, and at some stump points I walked out on the deck and shot dingle berries off the trees, and then was able to sit down and work some more. My temporary wife of the time periodically brought me food. The screenplay has not yet sold, but at least I wrote it. Other sorts of work have different demands on the mind and body but in all work, a little play is necessary to cause the accomplishment of any task, when human beings are involved.

About 20 or so years ago, they had a term for that on developing computer programs with what they call fuzzy logic, they found out that it was more complicated than expected.

There is a fake in that article. If you are a worker like Charles Chaplin in "Modern times" film, just tightening bolts and nuts, well I could agree to some extent (not completely). But to solve problems and searching the most efficient, cheapest, etc. solution is not a question of the time you are with your eyes in the PC monitor or any paper. Creative jobs do not work so.

There is really someone who thinks he can enter in a research laboratory and say: "Hey boys! you seem to relaxing and you know you have to develop a new invention every ten minutes!"

I do not negate completely the article, but one need to be very careful interpreting statistics!

Ha! I wish that it was so easy. I stop to chat a lil' with my apprentice, or talk w/ another journeyman on my crew and it never seems to fail - the one GF (general foreman... ) that is the biggest ass shows his meddling face... At least in a cubicle you have some sort of cover to hide behind ... ummmm, wait I meant work behind, yeah, yeah that is what I meant to say work behind.

Cheers
