How to be a lazy birder part 8

This is part 8 in a series of article for The Lazy Birder.

Location: at your desk at work.

Method:

• Stop what you are doing.
• Look out through your office window.
• See if you can see any birds.
• Identify the birds you see (or hear).
• Dream a little about how nice it would be to be out watching birds in some exotic location.
• Slowly bring your attention back to the work you are supposed to be doing (if you can).
• Repeat the steps above as often as you require to remain sane.

Additional activity:

• Make a list of the birds you see or hear.
• On second thoughts – if you do that it could be incriminating evidence that you are not working. Only you can assess the risk factor involved.

Warnings:

• Do not undertake this activity if you have a particularly observant boss.

• If YOU are the boss, then this activity is a good stress release.

• If you are not the boss, this is still a good stress release – but don’t get caught doing it. Or be creative in your response to being caught (eg “It was thinking time.”)
• This activity can be rather difficult if there is no window in your office. Using any kind of explosive device is not recommended and could be fatal.
