He actually looks disappointed when I'm done with the assignment by the following morning. He can't keep me busy, and I seem to be frustrating him because of it. My IQ test came back with a score of 146, higher than 99.9% of the population. I can be really dumb in many areas, but computer programming is what my brain is wired for, so it does it really fast. I don't even have to be at a computer for my brain to keep programming out a solution, so when I return to my desk I merely type out what my brain has already solved.
