Whenever we visit my in-laws', I work on this big jigsaw puzzle. I usually spend a few hours each time we visit, and as I sat there staring at this half-completed puzzle looking for a pattern to emerge, it occured to me: staring at half-completed puzzles looking for patterns to emerge is exactly what I do at the day job.

One day my wife thought I was having one of those seizures where you just stop moving, blinking, breathing, whatever - and popped me up side the head to get me going again. All I was doing was trying to figure out where the next piece went.
