DUDES!!! I KICKED ASS yesterday work-wise. KICKED IT! Seriously worked hard and saw RESULTS for it. So today, since I’ve got nothing knit wise (I haven’t picked up the sticks in a couple of days, to be honest) I thought I’d show where my butt will be plastered from this second until they wheel G into the operating room.
This is my messy, messy desk:
Snood baby! I did not play Snood in college, or graduate school. Well, that’s not true – I played in my last stint in graduate school. And I have to say, contrary to ruining my life, Snood has helped me in many ways. I’m like Dr. B. in the comments yesterday. She said it helped her through school because it centered her – for me it’s a really great way to open my mind a bit and relax. I used to play one or two games before I would start writing. In a zen sort of way, I would forget all about Snood and start the writing process before I ever opened up the word processing program. Admittedly, it has gotten out of hand once or twice, and for the longest time I wasn’t playing at all. But then I stopped visiting certain websites that caused me much grief (fertility stuff) and since then I’ve had some free computer time so I’ve picked up Snood again. Yesterday I upgraded. That new Armageddon level is a bitch.
I almost forgot – here’s my calendar shot for Deb:
BOOOORING! But necessary. Got to keep track of stuff.
Georgie knows this guy (and when I say know I mean has played tennis with him once or twice – you’ll see why I make this designation in a minute. It’s not like they’re friends or anything.) who developed Deep Vein Thrombosis. Know how he got it? By sitting at his computer for hours on end playing online poker. (You see now why I said Georgie just knows the guy, not really KNOWS the guy? L O S E R.) So my superfantastic friend Ann has taken to calling me every fifteen minutes to tell me to stretch my legs a bit. Her whining concern coupled with the 8 gallons of water I’ve been drinking are making it hard for me to sit still.
She really has nothing to worry about because I rarely stay in one position for long. I try to start out at my desk like this:
I want you to know, I put shorts on just for you. 😉
Back to the grind. Don’t forget. YARNIVAL! tomorrow.
I peeked at Snood yesterday … it is evil. Like Tetris. I cannot explore further until my shawl is off the needles.
I wouldn’t dare try Snood-my family don’t see me as it is with blogging and knitting. I know I’d get addicted.
Thank you for the calendar picture–I never said they had to be exciting!
And, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who sits cross-legged at my desk. I almost always have at least one foot up off the floor . . .
Really, it’s probably just as well that I can’t access Snood from work . . .
I can access Snood from work. However, I have people all around me who can see my screen, so I am safe. Now I just have to forget about it before I go home. Thanks a lot, Cara!
I’ve also just set an alarm on the work computer to remind me to get up every half hour or so. I mean it sincerely this time, thanks a lot, Cara! 🙂
It’s good to know I’m not the only one who uses a chair more as a platform for floor-type sitting than an official put-your-two-feet-on-the-floor device. Comfy!
so now it’s come to taking pictures of our computer positions.
hmmm
Snood = bad. But in a really good way.
Oh my! I know you said not to go play Snood – but I did and I can’t even tell you how many game I played! Yikes
Thanks for the leg shots-you know that’s why we’re all here. 😉
I’m easily addicted, so I’m not going to click on that SNOOD link! I would work in my underwear if I wasn’t so cold all the time. But at least that means I get to wear my handknit socks and appreciate them all the more.
Thinking good thoughts for you and G! Also, if Snood ever gets old, do not (I repeat, do not) google Jewel Quest. Your life will be over in a vapid pool of procrastination. 🙂
I had forgotten about the snood thing until you mentioned it AGAIN. Curse you, Cara! Now I totally have to click on the link.
thank god i have a Mac so I can’t download Snood. I will forever sit crosslegged at desks, meetings, pretty much anywhere.. i wonder often if i will ever grow up and sit still. (nahhhh!)
i so spoke too soon… yup they have for mac. must. not. download.
I’d better stay away from snood. Computers are addicting enough. Guess sitting and knitting for long periods of time could do the same damage. We all must move around more!!
now you understand why high school and college students around the nation are using the “uh, I got the snood over the weekend, very contagious….” excuse.
Good looking gams babycakes! Thanks for the Cam well wishes…rhymes with gams. Ha. I appreciate them.
That’s a messy desk? Oh dear, I am not EVER showing anyone a pic of this…uh… midden.
I know my department has a heart of evil because Snood was developed by a graduate student in my program and he made enough money off it to buy a house while in grad school. there are no games period on my computer due to my serious lack of will.
Oh great…I was already terrified about DVT on planes. Now I have to worry about it at work?!?
You made the Snood Administrator forum (scroll down)

Ok, the last post said something like *definitely do not start playing SNOOD*…and now this one is reporting the awesome state of clarity a couple of games will bring.
So what the hell am I supposed to do with THAT contradiction?
To click, or not to click….
