A pretty pathetic post really, but I thought I would share it as I'm sure I'm not alone here....
I recently stuck a rather tasty pic of my Chim on my desk at work, and I've found that it really helps motivate me when I'm having the sh*ttiest of days....partly I think - man, I'm lucky, just look at it, that's what I can look forward to when I get home, and when I think about jacking it all in to do something more interesting, I realise if I dropped my income I'd probably have to lose the car!

Next to it is a pic of Ibiza looking out from Cafe del Mar at sunset - another great motivator.

Sorry, just thought i'd share my sentiments....I'm off home now for a blast.

One of my greatest regrets, and I don't have many ... not having been able to make it to Cafe Del Mar

Must resist being rude to Gav...

So you're not putting the photo from your recent advanture on the desk, or do your cheeks look a little puffy in that one?

Fair enough I say. You need some motivation to see why you are sat at your desk all those hours.

What I dont get is why people put a picture of their wench on their desk. Are you going to forget what they look like in 8 hours? Arrive at the train station to be picked up only to try and remember which one she is?

not really. If she's fit do you really want her to star in your colleagues' next w*nk?

If she is a moose, well, you dont want to advertise it.

Not sadder at all. If I could I would, but miserably we all have to have the same corporate wallpaper...

Our company tried to impose a blank wallpaper by having the IT specialists 'doctor' our version of XP to remove the functionality in the 'display' dialogue box. However, within 30 seconds of getting the upgraded XP version I had my own wallpaper back! There are ways and means.......

Unfortunately I have to set an example and work on a client site, so have to behave myself.

Many thanks for that! She's actually Halcyon Midas pearl, but the picture is a scan of a slide photo taken in Italy with the sun setting, hence the gold look.

If you want a chuckle, do what I did at my former employer - put a picture in a frame of a colleagues wife.

Why just look at a picture, drive the car to work each day and look at it in the carpark.
