Slacking off at Work #4


The fourth installment of our five-part series takes a look at the Go To Spreadsheet.

We took inspiration for this tactic from the CBS Sportsline "Boss Button" (pictured left) that started three years ago with their live online NCAA tourney streaming. It works so well, because, as we all know, "perception is reality"-- and nothing is perceived better than a detailed spreadsheet on your computer screen.

Even if you're not a numbers person (hell, we can hardly add and subtract), don't worry, MS Excel is easy as can be to figure out, and even if you don't work in a numbers environment, fear not, spreadsheets can be related to anything.

We have three in our rotation, for when we want to just sit there and stare across the room at our marginally attractive coworker with the stellar rack. The key is to have drastically different colored fields on each and to make none of them readable from more than four feet away.
