intra-office messaging systems

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/06/17, 06:21 PM let me tell you all why these things (along with scales) are the devil... i sit roughly 8 feet away from my favorite co-worker. instead of getting up and walking that 8 feet every time i want to talk to her about something, i use the intra-office messaging system. you know, at only 8 feet i could just lean over and whisper whatever it is i need to tell her, but do i? no. i use the messenger because I AM LAZY. now, taking into account that i do work out hard 5 days a week, i don't think that being sedentary at my job is really going to hurt me aside from getting really bad cramps in my Message deleted by moderator due to unsuitable content for this board because i sit on it for too long. however, maybe if the messenger went away, the people who don't work out would have to be a little more active at their desk jobs and might be motivated to do a little exercising outside of the office... something to ponder - i think of odd things during the down time at work. now if you will excuse me i'm off to message someone who is sitting at the desk 2 feet away from me. -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.

I don't like it... I miss the days of wandering the rows with a piece of paper in my hand so it looks like I have a purpose other than going off to talk about what you did last weekend with someone on the other side of the building.
