All work and no play

In theory. Got the tickets for my skiing holiday at the end of next week. The problem with knowing I'm off on holiday again combined with having tricky programming problems to deal with is its hard for me to get into my coding "zone". And if I'm not in the zone coding is seems very much like repeatedly smashing my head into a solid concrete wall. Frustrating.

The no play thing is a little bit of a misnomer as well. It seems a lot of people get born around this time (joys of spring?) so I've got 4 separate birthday celebrations to attend either side of my holiday. This isn't helping my post New Year detox program, still if I only have 1 or 2 beers I'll be fine ;-)
