Death by Desk

If you work in an office, you probably spend an un-godly amount of time behind a desk.  I'm not one of those people, (thank God).  Fortunately, my job keeps me moving... most of the time.
However, on those rare occasions, like today, when I find myself behind my desk for an inordinate amount of time, I feel like doing something particularly dangerous to break-up the monotony.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in a hard days work and productivity, giving your best, etc...
But there comes a point, after staring at a computer screen or some printed material for hours, that you just feel like jumping out of a window.  
Well, or maybe something equally horrifying, but not necessarily as potentially life threatening.
For instance, go in to a co-workers office and ask a random, completely off the wall, unrelated question...just to see how they respond.  Or, walk past open doors while singing a familiar classic rock song and see how many people you can get humming, singing or whistling the tune.
It's the simple things in life that keep us sane...or at least reasonably sane.
Or drag as many people into the depths of your psychosis with you...either way, it will keep you from wilting away behind your desk.
Happy working!
