Sometimes, when I come up with a particularly
brilliant way of doing something, or when I'm doing
sysadmin stuff that is very
powerful (say, configuring a new server, deleting lots of
users, tuning a
network) and things are going well, I
visualize myself as a sort-of
god, like
Zeus, say,
shooting lightning bolts from my fingers.
I also think about this when I am accumulating power by my powers of personal influence--I think that I will transcend into godhood and again, have the ability to shoot lightning bolts from my fingers.
Why I don't visualize something more useful, like curing cancer or solving world hunger or building low-income housing is beyond me, except that I think that being able to shoot lightning bolts from my fingers would be pretty cool, and an undeniable symbol of my awesome power.
