It was almost midnight, I still had a little bit more than 8 hours of work, the night looked long, the chair seemed uncomfortable and my mind was starting to die out of boredom. My future seemed grey, my dreams unreachable and even if If reach them, they would seem worthless. I realize my spirit was dying and I had to do something about it. I spend the rest of my night-shift thinking what to do, how to change, how to power my thoughts, how to canalize all the random ideas that sometimes hit me. By 5 am I had found a solution.
Two days later, another night-shift was about to start, another 9 hours of mindless work were ahead of me. but this time I had with me a small pad full of random thoughts on the broadest spectrum of things, from going into the Vacuum Industry , to a different and equivalent approach to Asimov's three laws of robotics. I was armed and ready to fire. I felt a nice warmth in my veins, and my spirit felt satisfied.
From now on I have been keeping track of all the little ideas that hit me from time to time during the day. I certainly find all of them interesting, but of course, I might be a little biased while affirming so. I would like then to star sharing some of them here.
