Although I can obviously quit folding any time I like - I mean, it's not like I couldn't just stop, you know - see, it's just a phase, OK?! - sheesh already - er, is there anything I can do - just for now, obviously - so that I could - kinda - stop - er - checking my stats - which aren't there (!) - calm breaths, deep calm breaths - until - please God - they come back?

This is nearly as bad as my thread about Penguin jokes....

Get 500 sheets of lined paper, 17 pencils and do a work unit by hand.

Go through your logs and work out how many points you're gonna be awarded when the stats finally come back

You think that would solve it? I work out bits 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc when I get stressed at work to clear my hand and Ive found my mental arithmetic has gotten loads better!!!

I was working out stuff in my head as quick as one of the girls in work could work it out on paper today. She couldnt understand how I was able to do it so quickly!

Its much easier to do this in binary...... of course, after a bit, I have no clue what something like 10000000000000000 is.

This is why you support more than one project at a time. I do 55 BOINC projects at last count, and that's not all of them. If Carling did stats addictions... it wouldn't be as good as mine.
