"I'm getting stupid", couple of weeks ago I realized. My inability to correctly count the sum of a couple of figures struck me, because it wasn't the first time in past days. Thinking about it, I reminded myself of countless occasions, when I couldn't count properly.
"How did this happen?", I asked myself. When I finished my masters degree about year and a half ago I was on top of my game. I even received the best master thesis of the class award. I was the typical abstract mathematician (I'm not mathematician per se, but you know what I mean) preferring x and y over numbers, but still. I could sense something was wrong.
Tracking down the cause was not hard - it was my job. After finishing my degree I joined a large multinational company and everything went downhill from there. The mind-numbing (literally :) ) job showed his effect a mere year later.
Since I can't leave the company for another half a year, I decided to start this site. With every post I will try to become smarter, stress my mind and solve some kind of problem I'm facing. And maybe somewhere along the way, the wheels in my brain start humming again. Maybe.
The Dumb Guy.
