Funnily enough 999, no! (And I can see no insult was meant. Or maybe feel it? :-) ) I used to get in trouble occasionaly as all kids do - But it was more an ADD thing like I described earlier. From when I can remember though, in both school and work, I have always been in lumber for not 'looking as if I am doing enough'! My work used to get done, I often had top marks but the lament was, most often, 'could do better'. I gave up when I got the same comment on a 98% exam mark :-S I think the problem was that I figured things out too quickly , then got bored. Caught up with me at 16 though when I failed 5 of my 7 exams:-(

I can't remember if I always looked at things 'oddly' - My memory isn't good either. Probably because I see no reason to remember trivia. Apart from REAL nonsense trivia which sticks like glue! I know it has been part of my life for at least 20 years though - I am 58 now so it may have come on in my 20s or 30s.

Glad I have a fellow 'computer plumber' as well, Leeneia.
