The 4 o'clock Din

Everyday at the office at exactly 4pm two things happen.
  1. All of a sudden, I get really, really hungry. (You can read here to see how I solve this).
  2. I get mental exhaustion (probably caused by hunger) and seek distraction.
This isn't uncommon (double negative). Sometimes, at precisely 4 pm, my monitor is a firework display of blinking IM windows popping up all over. I like to launch a few firecrackers at my friends too.

Just like how bears intuitively know when to hibernate, cubicle monkeys intuitively know when a little IM banter is needed.

I thought this random bit of Din was good color.
