格列夫狂想曲

在寻找小人国的途中，我迷失了道路。

当我醒来时，头还是昏昏的，好像给人用木棍狠狠地敲了一下。我张开眼睛摸了摸痛极了的头，眼前看见的却是飞来飞去的黄色小鸟。天是一片的灰蓝，好像已是傍晚时分。我躺在地上，我的头痛到令我动弹不得，我不想起身，我甚至怀疑自己已被小人国的成员绑住了。

一只红蚂蚁突然在我的大腿咬了一口，我大叫一声立刻飞似的弹起来，原来约束我的并不是什么小人国的绳索，而是我自己的意愿。我摇了摇头，轻拍身上的灰尘，继续踏向寻找小人国的部落。

Back to reality:

In the quest of searching for bugs in the flow, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, my head felt like it had been hit a thousand blows. I felt my throbbing head, which was giving me excruciating pain, but all I could see were my colleagues rushing to and fro at the corridor past my cubicle. Some were even dressed like the DiGi fellow in bright yellow. I saw my blue/gray xterm in front of me, those moody colours of dusk. I plodded back my head on the desk, I don't want to move anymore... how I wish I'd been tied up by the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels. Now that would be a good excuse to give my boss not to come to work.

Ow...!!! A big fat red ant bit me in the thigh... I must have carried it in my pocket all the way from home. I almost gasped out loud and jumped seven metres high... but luckily nobody noticed. That would be the worst of my embarassments. I creaked my head from side-to-side, pulled my laptop close, and continued again on my quest to finish debugging the cause of the many many thousand violations I see...
