   I've realised that I'm actually much less skilled with computers when I have to use them for work. I'm unable solve problems creatively when there is no natural interest for the task. The stress of having to do a task puts me in linear thinking mode. My project manager, a former programmer who actually likes this kind of work, has no trouble thinking creatively about it. He's actually telling me what I should do, and it's stuff I would've thought of myself if I was in the right state of mind.

      I'm wondering if this kind of "brain depletion upon employment" is actually very common.

      Perhaps that's why customer service representatives seem so brain dead. Perhaps that's why corporations tend to grow inept after the startup phase, and why government can't do anything right.

      Perhaps many people have it in them to think creatively, but they just can't when they're forced to do it in order to make a living.
