I thought I would hate having an infant in the workplace, but it's actually been kind of nice. The baby gets fussy sometimes and cries, but it humanizes the office. A wailing child somehow makes work more enjoyable.
I remember back when this kid was in the womb, the mother was talking to co-workers about her ultrasound. Like Magic Eye art, ultrasound pictures always looked like nonsense to me. The picture was in black and white, and reminded me of a Rorschach test. "I'm having a butterfly!" I thought, and chuckled. Then I realized it isn't that funny. Yet here it is, typed. Huh.
I had to interpret Rorschach tests once - something about my parents' divorce. Maybe I had to have an IQ test before I could choose who to live with? Fuck if I know. It'd be nice to have that experience on video now. I think it would be fun to see how my answers then would compare to now.
What does this look like?

Rorschachs are largely considered nonsense by today's leading psychologists, yet they are still administered regularly. Basically, they are up to the psychologist/psychiatrist to interpret however they wish. Not terribly scientific.
And yes, I'm writing this at 4:45 a.m. Go figure.
