Have you ever had a day where your brain is simply not working? Could be for many reasons, lack of sleep, stress, hungover from Gin etc etc...
Drives me nuts thinking about not being able to think about things in the proper way.
Have you found a way to "wake" your brain up?

Take a break, do some drastically different or something you enjoy, then get back to it. You might look at it differently.

There is a variation of the Irish Coffee that might go down well here - an English Coffee[^]
Scrap that, the Italians seem to have perfected coffee[^].

I didn't know that, perchance are you the creator?

English Coffee is an old variation, but check out the Moretta - my new best friend.

Accept that never, for one moment, in the fictional construction of the illusion of a personal self with continuity in time you experience as your life, has there been a "proper" way to think because thought itself is inherently empty: thought, master illusionist who summons someone from nothing, creates you: the greatest-show-on-earth.
A flickering of a candle making its last shadow on a wall before it is blown-out by a high-wind, and, then, lit again by unseen hands ... which you expend enormous energies on: in order to experience an imaginary, continuous, steady, glow.
Handle the night before, before the day after: works for the who I believe I am that experiences typing a final period: now.

p.s. if you send me US $50 I have a special handkerchief actually sanctified by the tears of a virgin vegetarian, which I know will have immediate glorious effect on your predicament of spellbound as a result of heinous mischief of negative-energy demons. Also effective for hangovers, and acne.
all right, yes, I lied: there were more periods, but sometimes in the esoteric arts one must practice what Sufis call taqqiya, or spiritual deception.

Not on the same day. Usually I try to get through the day somehow and hope that the next day it's better (which it usually is).
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Some meetings I feel like I work with a few people where their brains are not working.
Looking through my old VB6 code usually fires me up. I want to "fix" all the code. But generally a cup of coffee is all I need to keep going 'til noon.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

A lot of people are suggesting the dark brew to me but I'm very much a Tea drinker, may add a few more lumps to my additional 3 sugars though.

Yeah, today's one of those to be honest.
I find that you've just got to put up with it and arrange the task list so you have easy ones to do today.

I am really stuck at this particular coding problem since few days now, so I stayed very late last night at the office to resolve it (... and unable to fix it).
Anyways, So as I left frustrated for home at the middle of the night. I saw our whole building security team sitting near a car, on the benches, looking inside the car.
Now 4 guys were sitting parallel to the car on a bench facing the driver side window. and other 3 were sitting perpendicular on the bench facing the driver side - side mirror... then I saw a smartphone laying on the driver side window glass, and all the 7 guys were watching a movie on the phone.  4 directly from the phone and 3 using the side mirror ...
This made me chuckle the whole way back home. 
The angle was perfect, the height was perfect, and I dont see any other sitting arrangement so that 7 people can watch a movie from a tiny smartphone. Out of the box thinking, who needs a TV? 
If I ever need a developer for my company, I am going to interview these guys first (it's much better option to teach them programming).

Nope - you only need one of them.
The guy that got them to sit like that...
