Ten things you could do…

… while your computer starts up:

Have a cup of coffee
Have another one
Go outside to catch some fresh air because of Cardiac anxiety
Curse Microsoft or pray for a faster computer
Carve a nice/obscene (as you like) sketch into your desk
Walk trough the office and see if your boss has already arrived (or check which employees are not at their places yet, if you are the boss)
Watch the world outside your window and allow yourself a little daydream
Figure out what to cook in the evening, which film to watch next weekend or what gadget/car/boat to buy when the economy gets better
Think about a fancy status line for your Facebook page
Think about what to do in the first place when the computer is up… if that’s not too swotty for you
Post to your blog with the iPhone
Picture what your would do today, if you were the dictator of your country, Captain Kirk, Jesus or Barack Obama
Picture what you would do if you were young again
