Ever caught yourself chatting away mid-laundry cycle or narrating your dishwashing routine? Some folks might label it “odd,”…

and as I have been known to chatter away to myself , and as I get older I am less self-conscious about it and do it all the more ! I thought I'll have a read ...

then I saw this :- By saying, “Alright, next I’ll vacuum the living room,”

No, No, No --- No, I'm never ever going to say that !!

I thought all software developers talked to themselves.
If they didn't, they'd never arrive at a solution.
Apart from the fact that when they write a bug into the code, they will accept telling themselves what a silly old sod they are much better from themselves than someone else.

Not QUITE talking to myself, but ...

When I was still a Navy contractor, the folks around me would overhear my conversations with the machine. Things like "Machine, I know where you are plugged in. Start working." Also, "I know someone who can arrange for you to be wiped out and re-imaged." And "You ungrateful cur, I programmed you better than that."

Now that I'm retired and at home, I talk to myself now and then. Or at least it seems that way, since my wife won't enter the conversation when I'm chattering away at my desktop machine.

I guess it all boils down to what you are talking to yourself about. If it is negative or destructive in nature, then it's probably not good for you. If it is positive and related to achieving a worthy goal, then by all means, talk all your want. Don't give a voice to that little invisible devil on your shoulder.

What worries me when I talk to myself is I still don't get get a sensible answer!

And I am very careful when I talk to my computer as I remember the first rule of dealing with machines - never let them know you are in a hurry.
