I'm going to explain the 3 day rule, and I'm not talking about old food in the fridge or long weekends. I'm talking about when you go home to your parents place. For the first couple days everything's great, they pamper you with cooking/cleaning etc and shower you with attention. Four days after returning home however and you get something like what happened to me.

So I'm working on my laptop (god bless you IBM Thinkpads!) and my father opens my door and asks for some quick help on something. Three and a half hours later I finish reinstalling carpeting. My skinny hairy chicken legs are covered with concrete glue and I'm seriously thinking that I've ingested more of it than when I was in kindergarten and used to eat play doe.

Three day rule, live by it!
