They say a mild shock is good for your heart. Does ESD also come under it?

These days I'm so charged up that people close to me can actually feel it. Everyday as I enter the office I pause in front of the door & suspiciously touch the door-handle with a finger. Ouch! I begin my day with a mild shock. I give a nervous look around the people who are sitting in the corridor. They return it back. It reminds me of this movie 'As good as it gets' where the hero has this OCD & does peculiar rituals before he starts anything. (...I do not have any such disorder)

For nearly a month I was bugged by a couple of bugs in the recently completed project. Although I could easily say that I was not responsible for them, it really did not matter for finally it is the project that would loose from it. But now after debugging, I feel more satisfied & perhaps more happy than if had no such bugs to begin with.
I hope i dont have to face such bugs anymore.

Have you ever been bossed kids?
I used to go guitar classes (I still go actually but stopped for a while) & there used to be this small kid who joined with me. Since the two of us joined together the teacher decided to teach us notes & songs together. Initially the lessons used to be simple. Just a few stings here & there, & I could cruise through without much hassle. I used to practise about an hour before class & some time the previous day. The boy (I choose not to mention his name :) ) & I used to begin the class with what was taught in the previous class. Slowly the boy started making difference. As the classes progressed, the boy started correcting the way I play. In the begining he simply used to stare while i played. Later he became my junior teacher asking me to practice more . He sometimes used to give me tips on how to play. Worst of all, he used to encourage me saying 'that was good!' Yuk! now that is a bit of a torture. And now with such a long gap in my guitar classes the kid must be waaaaaay ahead!
It was not the age difference that pained me (well, it did a little) but my own fault of not practising enough.
huh! there is a class tommorrow. let's see what happens.
