What do you think of the word “office”? Perhaps you would conjure images of geeks and snubs, those who will never lift their heads to even greet you good morning. You would think of loads of paperwork and 8 hours of just facing the monitor, unless, of course, there are meetings. You would be wishing that lunches and breaks could be much longer.
A typical office is boring. However, there are actually a lot of ways on how you can change that and make your own job even more exciting. You simply have to incorporate these cool office gadgets:
Bacteria-killing LCD Monitor
LCD monitors have taken over CRT ones. After all, the latter are very bulky, and they do not look as sophisticated as the former. Moreover, you can find greater use with the LCD monitors, especially if you are going to get those that emit negative ions. PC Bank Korea has come up with PBM-978PS. This is an LCD monitor that releases such kinds of ions in order to kill the bacteria within your surroundings. This way, there is no reason that you would catch a cold or cough when you are in the office. It also has a wide angle for viewing, which makes it comfortable for you to look at the monitor. It relieves you of eye strain.
Desktop Bag
There are people who cannot separate themselves from their own workstations. If you are one of them, then this desktop bag is definitely the most ideal one for you. As its name suggests, it allows you to carry your desktop PC anywhere you go. It has the maximum capacity of 77 pounds and can fit medium to large towers. The shoulder belt is padded, so you can prevent strain. It also has snap attachment, so you can securely carry it with you.
Stress Balls
You may think that stress balls are not important, but they are. They are the ones who will relieve you of burnout. You can have fun throwing them to the wall or to your friends. You
can squeeze them when you are already frantic or angry, so you do not end up screaming at your boss directly. Moreover, if you are not using them, they make excellent decorations on your table.
There are a lot of choices for your stress balls. If you love animals, you can get Pig, Alligator, Cat, Dog, and Shark stress balls. If you are an avid comic lover, you can purchase a whole set of Dilbert.
Portable Sleeping Cube
Whether you like it or not, those cups of coffee will not work sometimes. Your eyes will definitely shut off. Furthermore, when you are tired, you really cannot perform very well. Your motivation is at its lowest ebb, and your mind is somewhere else, such as in your bed.
With the portable sleeping cube, you will not have to ask for an excuse to leave work and go home. You can just find a corner where you can doze off (just make sure that no one will hear you snore). The portable sleeping cube can fit any body type and is very comfortable. When you are done using it, you can just tuck it someplace safe.
Stealth Switch
Do you think that your colleagues are really looking on Excel sheets and Word documents? Unknown to you, they are playing their favorite Windows and online games, but here is the problem: if they are too careless, their boss will surely catch them. They will be reprimanded or worse terminated from the job. If you do not want this to happen to you, get the stealth switch. It is a foot pedal that you can attach into your Windows and put on the floor. Every time your boss is around, you just need to stomp the pedal, and all your non-work-related windows will be hidden.
Portable Office Workstation
At first glance, this may look like a huge block with rollers. However, the moment that you are going to unlock it, it will reveal several spaces that can accommodate two workstations. This is perfect for offices that are battling with small spaces. You can also use this for your home. You do not have to commission someone to create a home office.
