Electronic Procrastination
Now that I’ve starting playing iPod Solitaire, there’s no telling what is going to happen to my productivity at work. Over the years in various places I’ve worked I’ve witnessed many co-workers and even bosses wasting work time playing computer games like Solitaire and Free Cell and Minesweeper. Playing these games at your desk is a very risky proposition especially if your back faces the door. The introduction of the iPod and its accompanying gaming choices lessens the risk factor significantly. For instance, one could go in the bathroom stall, play some music and take in a quick game of Solitaire without anyone being the wiser. I did that the other day. It’s a great stress reliever on a busy day at work, even though winning is quite difficult.
