Twittering at work - a huge distraction!

No, not that Twitter. The old fashioned kind with real birds.

We got new office furniture last week (and I wrote and deleted a long whiny post about my new office chair that is really hurting my legs!), and besides the fun of having an office that doesn't look like it was decorated from a yard sale in a bad neighborhood, my desk is now arranged differently so while I'm working I have a great view of the back lawn--trees, grass, pond. Very pretty. But the birds are so much fun to watch! There's a family of house finches that are nesting in a recessed light right outside my window, and a bunch of other kinds of birds regularly visit the trees just beyond that. I keep going onto the Cornell All About Birds website to check out which birds are hanging out for my entertainment.

This is way more distracting than the Internet.

Order new drapes.

Sounds like a nice problem to have. :cool: I would love to watch the birds and try to identify them. Pretty fun!

I work in a cinderblock office with no windows and 26 children pulling at my every moment for 6 solid hours a day. Most days I don't even see the outside until I leave work. Sometimes I really envy office workers (the ones with windows and walls and a desk that actually gets used for working- then some days I don't). ;)

We have a big Canadian Snow Geese population on our campus. Though they can be a little assertive :) when it is hatching time, if there are nests outside my second story office, I find myself often wandering to the window to look out and watch the little babies as they hatch. Too cute. Not a bad distraction to have I guess. :)

Twittering. Tee-hee. I'm bird sitting Wally, my parent's bird while they are out of town. My poor dog is going NUTS!!!!
