Geeky Office Gadgets?
When you look around the office, we all of have a little bit of geekiness that comes out in our choice of decorations and gadgets that adorn our workspace. Most of us settle for a bobbing bird that will drink tirelessly from a glass of water, or a tiny rock garden, equipped with a rake, to relieve the stress of watching that silly bird. No matter where you earn a living, I am betting that one co-worker stands out by having crossed the line and compiled a collection of the geekiest office gadgets imaginable.
At first sight, some of these items appear to have a good use, such as the UV Disinfectant wand. Before you log on to begin your quest for what seems harmless and well, darn right practical, take a look around the rest of the cubicle. If you see any sign of a Darth Vader wall clock, an X-wing fighter mouse, or God forbid, a PC in the shape of the Millennium Falcon, you might settle on a nice box of clorox wipes to keep the germs at bay.
When you are heading to the copy machine, because you really cannot figure out how to route that file through he maze of servers to the right printer/collator, and are taken in by the sound of your favorite music video, do not panic. By now you are able to take a short peak at the fantastic wrist watch your co worker is wearing. If you are lucky, and can keep from running off to buy your own, surely the next video you see will have either Captain Kirk or Bart Simpson prominently featured. If you can take your eyes away from Bart for a minute, you will catch a 
glimpse of a Dungeons and Dragons screen saver. As you peer around, there will certainly be an extremely complex cell phone tucked into a bean bag phone holder. No doubt there is a bluetooth connection to a prominent earpiece that looks like it tune in the space shuttle on a clear night. Be sure not to mention that or you may lose an hour hearing just how cool that would be, even though NASA TV has a prime spot on the PC desktop.
Since your project is now too late to be presented at the noon meeting, only one thing to do and that is jump on a video call to the higher ups and try to explain. You slump into the first open chair and are ready to explain your heart out when you are completely taken aback by the animal lovers web cam. 
This is the point at which you realize that all hope is lost. You now know that you are about to go over to the dark side.
Imagine the look on their faces as you sit at your desk wearing a smile and calmly placing your wasted report into your brand new R2D2 trash receptacle. They smile broadly as you aim your wireless rocket launcher towards the unsuspecting mail boy and have a direct hit on the pocket protector. Life is good!
