I’m beginning to wonder if my new diet is having a deleterious effect on my mental state.
Uh, maybe.
And yes, I do use monkeys (as in "A Barrel of …") to manage my current to-do/task list. It drives my supervisors insane, and that makes me happy. Were this a less stuffy place, it would also make for a pleasant amount of "do you really want to touch my monkey?" jokes.
