Funny Little Things We Do...

While waiting for my husband to get off the computer one day, I noticed he had this routine. Not only did he move his pencil to the right of the desk, BUT he also situated all his papers. Lastly, he sat back gave a big sigh and then got up and left. At the time, I didn’t find it so funny, but the more I thought about it, it became quite comical.

From that point on, I started watching my other family members when they were on the computer. My sister would sit down and have to fix her hair just right before cruising the web. My grandmother would spend 10 minutes or so making her coffee, putting on her slippers and situating her back support on her chair before enjoying the perks of the Internet.

All this I thought was hilarious, and it made me wonder. If they have these funny little things they do before working or playing on the computer, what does everyone else do? Have you thought about anything ritualistic you might do or need before sitting down or leaving the computer?

P.S. My need before working is I must have the right kind of pen on top of my desk. It has to be that dark, blue ink. Funny, but it is so true!
