I always thought it was something that was inflicted upon you, but today I have been working on putting together two PowerPoint presentations for next week and I now realize it can be self-inflicted.

Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde
Lately I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (or perhaps better stated Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde).
