Fake Work Screensavers

"I'm Working" App Allows For Extra Breaks and Quiet Time

In the stresses of the workday and all the hard work that I do (I'm being serious…) sometimes I want to take a slightly longer break or a little nap (not ALL the time).

The "I'm Working" screensaver is a beautiful little partnership you can have with your computer in which he/she (whatever) will cover you while you get a little extra sleep or another coffee.

You can adjust the level of "hardwork" that the computer will pretend to be doing and simply let it off the leash. Don’t get greedy and take too long because you’re just asking to get caught.

All bosses reading this, please omit the entire article from your memory… thanks!
