Thank God For Tape

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a trusty roll of scotch tape at my desk. I love the tape dispenser so much. Here's a list of things I have actually done with the tape in the last week.

1) BEST. Slowly pull out the tape so that the line from where it was stuck to the roll is on the serrated edge. Yank down sharply so the tape gets cut in perfect perforation (no tearing of corners) like with tiny perfect pinking shears. Then very carefully fold the tape in half, perfectly, with no bubbles, hairs, or sticky edges sticking out. Then throw it away. Repeat at leisure.

2) Tape a penny. To anything.

3) Use a small length of tape to pick up random fuzz from off my thighs

4) Put a piece of tape on the back of my hand. Watch it wrinkle and smooth itself as I type.

5) Roll one long smooth piece of tape around the ball point pen. Unroll it slowly, folding flaps in half, and tearing off pieces.

6) Use tape to cleverly clean the sides of the keys on the keyboard. All. of. them.

7) Tape over my finger print over and over. Look at the pretty patterns.

Seantoki says that when he is at work he actually works. (eye roll) But he also said someone caught him picking at his head (YEAH!!! A fellow HEADpicker!) and trying to get a small sillicon ball out from underneath his delete key. Whew! That was a relief to know. (take back the eye roll)

Which ones of these activities have you tried recently? Do you play with tape? What are some of the little tiny things you do for distraction at work?
