Gadgets for the endless office hours

I was browsing Firebox.com and started looking for gadgets that'd relieve me of the painfully long hours I spend in the office staring at the computer. Of course, that'd be great if we have some of them placed behind the receptionist counter to entertain us poor SAs on duty, heheh.

So browsing all those nonsensical gadgets sort of brightened up my terribly gloomy day that started with a lady stepping on my foot with her heels and then looking nonchalantly at me. I really felt like asking, sorry did I hear something? Wahraus.

Aggravated by the fact that I already can't walk properly because I idiotically walked into the glass doors at Danzpeople @ PoMo. (yes capital M so that it does not read as porno, credits to soozey :P) To think that I had already spent enough time at the new studios to know that their doors open INwards, not out like the usual glass doors. Argh. Freaking embarassing. I'm not the only one to do that. They've had people trying to walk into the studio through the glass walls and doors at the reception area. Double ARGH. They really should do something about all the glass, like some floral decals that match their card boxes? It'd look pretty enough.


So, here are my picks for some of the rather amusing, albeit useless gadgets:

Desktop Warfare Kits: CATAPULT!

Desktop warfare in a class of its own. Instead of arming yourself with crushed waste paper and ambushing your colleagues, arm it with collateral that you can fit into the catapult, and go! Best of all, it won't look like you've just thrown the offending article. Target will not know. But, your neighbours just might. :/

*gulp*

Desktop Coffee Maker: Aromatic beverage brewed in front of your sleepy eyes at your table!

Ok I got to admit that I really love this. I love my caffeine. This thing is small enough to fit on your table, just next to your monitor, and it is much more affordable than the thousand over dollar baby at Takashimaya. If this was at my table, I think I'd be having like 6 cuppas a day.

You can brew a cuppa for your colleague in the neighboring cubicle too after catapulting, and use it to blackmail him from tattling on you. 2 black mugs included.

Cube World: Let's Stack!

Were you crazy over Tamagotchi? I gotta admit, I was, and I wasn't all that crazy over the newer generation called Digimon. Each cube is inhibited by a little pixelated figure of a man, and each cube man has his own specialty/job. If you stack them together, they enter into each other's world and interact!

Buttons on the front of each cube allow you to control your virtual stick man to do everything from kick ups and pull ups to snake charming and juggling, but he will also entertain himself depending on his mood. That said, it goes on to say that each cube is armed with a motion sensor so he can respond to shakes and slides. On a particularly rough day he might bang his head against the wall, talk to Ralph on the great white telephone or shake his fist at you.

USB Whack-it: Ready, steady, WHACK!

Self explanatory enough I guess. But because it's connected to your computer and its a desktop game, this miniature version regretably, does not use the mallet, but you gotta press the lit up heads furiously!

Just as addictive. (: Can pretend each head is your colleague, your superior, or whichever office KPO that threatens to leak your secrets all the time. Imagine the amount of attention that you'll draw when you press the heads furiously, with all those noise.

Banana Guard: No more bruised bananas!

One of the most ridiculous looking creations of all-time, built just for the healthier alternative for a pick me up in the middle of the day. Ehm, what if my banana doesn't curve this way?
