I saw a story on CNN the other day that offered up some sources of distraction for cubicle dwellers, the highlight of which was a website called True Office Confessions. The site is basically a big message board that allows disgruntled office workers to vent their frustrations, or confess unspeakable acts.  Here are a few of my favorite confessions thus far:

“Has anyone ever been typing a memo and tried to type the word “and”, but you slip and type the word “nad”? I do it often and every time I laugh to myself. God, I’m such a loser. ”

“i try to get rid of all my restroom issues at work… might as well s**t on them… they do it to me everyday…. ”

“Thanks to the endless amount of time before the whistle blows, I’m tempted to test the velocity needed to ram a ballpoint pen into my brain via the temple.”

“I hate when people lick their fingers in order to pick up papers from the universally used printer. This woman in my office was searching for something she printed and she started to lick from her elbow to her middle finger tip. She basically licked the entire stack of papers…effing gross!”

The temptation to buy one of the sleek looking iMacs is becoming unbearable, and not just because I love how they look, but also because I keep finding all these accessories that would make it even better.  This time its the Lowkey Stand from Macessity, which is specifically designed hide Apple’s slim keyboard, and help de-clutter your desk.

The Highwire LED DeskLight might just be the sexiest desk lamp I have ever laid my eyes on. Aside from being visually stunning, it is also extremely efficient as it is able to retain 70% of its original light output after a staggering 50,000 hours. In addition, the lamp has some interesting features, it does not include infrared rays so it emits less heat, and it is equipped with a slow start and stop mechanism, which allows the light to gradually brighten when turned on. Furthermore, it is able to match the color of your
computer display, which supposedly gives you a less distorted view of the display. Don’t get too excited though (well..as excited as you could possible get for a lamp), with a price tag starting at $630, I was forced to end my own love affair with the lamp, since i don’t think i could allow myself to buy a lamp that costs more than the rest of my office furniture combined.

The other day a friend was telling me about his experience at a boot-camp workout session. It was his first time, and he was asked to do as many push-ups as possible in 1 minute, in order to set a benchmark by which he could compare future progress. He supposedly managed to muster up 45 good ones, a claim which i regrettably ridiculed as child’s play. Although I had not exercised in quite some time, I based my declaration on the knowledge that I had been somewhat of a gym rat a few years back, and back then doing 45 push-ups was nothing more than a nice warm-up. Sadly, this was not the case anymore as I struggled to break 40, and was left motionless on the floor for some time after, swimming in humiliation. The whole experience made me realize, that by sitting in front of my desk all day snacking on Doritos, I am destined to become that weird fat guy who hangs out by the soda machine on his lunch break, and gets his stapler stolen everyday. Feeling the urge to take immediate action, i began crawling the internet looking for a solution, and eventually arrived at what can only be described as true genius: the Hula Chair.

Sadly, while the Hula Chair might provide me with my much needed “exercise”, it will most likely not prevent my stapler from getting jacked.
