Or maybe I have been subjected to kryptonite.
I am having a rough time motivating myself for a project so I've committed to doing an hour each day.
I spent the other day pulling my hair out over something so simple in C# I don't want to repeat it here because it's embarrassing.
I spent an hour yesterday debugging, and getting absolutely nowhere.
I spent an hour and a half today just to get my serial port talking to my MCU over USB, and stupidly rebooted my machine because I couldn't figure out why the COM port was in use even though the serial monitor connected to the com port was right in front of my face.
I can't take any more breaks. If I rest any harder I'll slip into a coma.
I've drank more coffee than any one person should consume. Ever.
Is my mind going? Maybe I need a vacation though.

I bet some of you can understand. I used to be a programmer.

It happens to the best of us! See, it even happen to you! 
A few nights good sleep, avoid bad food, maybe some light exercise as well, and you'll be in tip top shape again in no time! 
For me it's a bit harder, I am not fit to live and eat almost half of the food other humans can!

Your avatar seems to be a kookaburra, so you must be eating a healthy diet of raw fish!

haha, I must now! 
BTW indeed you right (about the avatar thing), it's a pic I took meself

Nice photo. I had to think about it because it's just a silhouette and also looks a bit like a raven, so at first I thought your diet might be roadkill.

Overlooking the simplest things. It happens. Take a break from C# and do use a proper programming language.

I find if I walk away from the problem for a while it clears my head and I'm able to figure it out.
If I sit and bang my head and keep struggling with it all I get is a headache.

You need some cheese; then say to yourself: "Once I finish this, I can have this cheese; but not before".
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

At least one of the diamonds should have had something like "the number of superpowers conferred on the victim in the event of a spill".

I figured out to use wind chime to scare birds away from my fig tree.
I ordered two wind chimes/bells from Amazon and hang them on the fig tree.
it seems working because I get two ripe figs.

That is really great Engineering solution. 
Very smart use of devices which have already been created/built (component reuse).
Also, simple application of device without any collateral damage.
+5 Engineering points to you.
Always like to hear how people solve challenges.

the wind chimes are aluminum. Wind blows away and the music is harmonic too...

A whole tree normally produces more than that.
You're gonna need a big pile of chimes ...

I would post a "this is not a fig tree" sign.

We have hummingbird feeders on our patio. One hummingbird was just sitting around. So I posted a "no loitering" sign.
