Is this the right attitude to working at the computer?

Posted on 21 March 2008

Relaxed postingI came across this picture on the web recently. I think it shows the perfect attitude to take to working on the computer. It can also be seen as a perfect example of sleeping on a problem.

A bit of nonsense, I know, but sometimes it’s worth it to relax a little. Animals are what they are. They don’t fret about it. Only humans seem to get hung up in what the rest of the world thinks about them and start posturing as a result.

That’s what lies at the root of today’s epidemic of macho management: a continual worrying about appearance and conforming to the fashion for obsessive, short-term action.

Perhaps we should all lie back and forget about the world’s preoccupations a little more often.
