Quantum Leaps

According to our completely-not-made-up theory, quantum leaps occur when you accidentally drink too much coffee and suddenly find yourself 3 days in the past, reliving the same awkward elevator conversation with your coworker.

Or maybe it's when you finally figure out the meaning of life, but realize that it's just a bunch of boring, unfulfilling paperwork.
