6 ways to distract yourself from getting any work done

face scan
Scan your head...
Cat Scan
or your cat instead of scanning paperwork,

Rock out with your broom instead of cleaning with it,

Do silly poses in the photo booth that you're supposed to be running,
Desktop icons
Change all your desktop icons,

Join in a game of strip poker in an art gallery instead of just photographing it,
Ahhh!
And explore your new computer box instead of learning how to use your new computer.

    What a wonderful freshness. I bet if I lQQked up 'cute, refreshing, sparkling and magical in some reference manual it would identify 'Katie'.

    Great ideas! I love the easy transition from strip poker (which you clearly lost!!.. or won?) to naked in a box. I have a busy day of artful procrastinating, so smooth transitions save me time! Thanks! :)

    Seriously though, your desktop icons are perfection.

    I love~ how the face scan looks like one of those fancy shampoo advertisements on magazine pages where the model hair is thrown in the air or spins her head so the hair fans out~ you know, without the whole cheek mushed/squished thing~ C:
