Sometimes I wish there was a tab like this on my computer:
And every so often, when the day turns extra busy and overwhelming, I would hit that button and someone would bring me this:
Wouldn’t that be handy? What kind of tab would you like on your computer?
Sheri whocanthinkofseveralmoreusefulcomputertabs,actually.


“subtract 5 years from your age today”
I would love a “go home early” tab!
I need a “time to knit” tab!
I need a “I’ll do your grocery shopping” tab!
I love all these tab ideas! Plus a dinner delivery tab, time to read for 30 min tab. But I love the coffee tab.
I’d like a nap tab! I would click it and get a 20 minute cat nap after lunch, which would be awesome.
Just chiming in with my desire for a “Make dinner” button. It would be so nice if someone else could make a balanced (not take out) supper!
I’d love a “stop time” button so I could get some of the stuff done that I don’t have time for!
My tab would say “Clean up after dinner.” I’d be real happy with a tab that did that.
Sherry duh ” knit break”
I need a “stop surfing for yarn and go knit” tab.
LOL I’m giggling at my desk – I agree with most of the tabs already suggested, however I don’t care for coffee. My tabs would have to rotate among the following:
“yarn shopping”, “kitty time”, “you don’t have to do your work today”, and
“time to catch up with friends”.
Have a wonderful weekend !!
How about a tab which calls in a masseuse for a twenty minute neck/shoulder massage!
Happy weekend!
How about one for a nap? I could really use one of those several days a week!
How about a “Sample This” tab; you hit it and you can see and feel the yarn sample, or for receipes you’d get a sample to taste.
I second the vote for a Nap button.
Love it! We all need one!
“let the dogs out and in and make sure the 16 year old Chihuahua gets a drink before he goes back to bed” tab
I would have one that says “time to knit” which would be located right next to the one for pizza delivery.
My computer needs to be voice activated so that I can knit and it will read forum posts and TLE/yarn/pattern info to me while I knit, eat, drink coffee ……would I get more done??? (probably not)
I’d like a “debug this file, run it, and plot it up for me” button. Then I could knit and outsource my engineering work to my computer! 🙂 Hahaha…
Have a cuppa tea!
You mean you DON’T have a coffee tab on your computer? How strange . . . .
Can’t believe no one else has said it. A BEER TAB! Something that brings me a nice cold beer whenever!!
“Massage”, “cocktail”, “payday”
How about a “bring me some money” tab?
How funny all of the tabs are- I totally agree! I especially like the coffee, knit and nap tabs best of all.
Too funny. I need the “don’t forget” tab. I end my internet session and I always remember that I forgot to check something. Then, I relog in, etc.
I want the “fast forward to quittin’ time” tab. 😉
I’m thinking ‘knit break’ and ‘dark chocolate’ tabs would be great…
I want a “knit my swatch” key… poof! perfect gauge with the click of a mouse!
nap time!
My immediate thoughts were “block” and “swatch”. Then all the fun knitting would be mine.
I just wish the “Ctrl” button would actually give me control!
I would want a “Calgon take me away” button….ok, it would really be a “Mr. Bubble bubble bath” button…i love Mr. Bubble
Nap time, tea time, we’ve finished your laundry and put it all away time, snuggle with the pets time…..
And somehow, no one has yet managed to mention a “chocolate” button! :-O
Got to go with Tea Time, Knit Time and Go Home Early not necessarily in that order.
Oh, my, so many tabs, how to decide? Definitely an iced vanilla latte tab, a ‘time to pet the kitty’ tab, a vacuuming tab, a dinner idea tab (I like to cook, I just hate having to come up with stuff every night). Also a salted caramel tab *and* a dark chocolate tab.
I need an “Automatically pay bills” tab. I HATE doing that job. And I love all of the other suggestions! I’m with Cheryl on “Don’t Forget” tab because I am also ending my internet connection and then remembering something else I meant to do or look up… I have the attention span of a gnat!
My tab would say “Martini, shaken, not stirred.”
My husband already thinks I have a Loopy Ewe button that brings me yarn!
I’d love a one touch “take photo, download photo & place in desired post or project folder “. The whole process with my old, slow laptop usually leaves me frustrated. (also the user error factor!)
chocolate
Time to go home!
I like the dinner tab idea – and the chocolate one too.
Would LOVE one that says “no phones ringing or interruptions for a half hour” tab.
Many years ago, during Employee Appreciation Week, the firm I was working for hired a latte cart to sit in the lobby one day so we could order free espresso drinks all day long. It was just so excellent. I still think we should have them all the time – think of the increased productivity!
I do realize that I’m not answering the question you asked 😉
I was always wishing for a “trap door” button. (I had a very stressful job)
I’m up for a “time to knit” and “coffee break” button. How awesome would that be!! I also like the “‘time to go home” button, but only if it would finish all my work for me so it wouldn’t be waiting the next morning!
My tab would say: Calgon!!! Take me awayyyyyyyyyyyyy!! lol
i want a “hug” button. I can get my own tea, chocolate, etc. but you need and extra set of arms for a really good hug.
