Sometimes I wish …

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?

  1. I love all these tab ideas! Plus a dinner delivery tab, time to read for 30 min tab. But I love the coffee tab.

  2. 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!

  3. 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 !!

  4. How about a tab which calls in a masseuse for a twenty minute neck/shoulder massage!

    Happy weekend!

  5. 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.

  6. “let the dogs out and in and make sure the 16 year old Chihuahua gets a drink before he goes back to bed” tab

  7. 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)

  8. 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…

  9. How funny all of the tabs are- I totally agree! I especially like the coffee, knit and nap tabs best of all.

  10. 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.

  11. I would want a “Calgon take me away” button….ok, it would really be a “Mr. Bubble bubble bath” button…i love Mr. Bubble

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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!

  15. 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!)

  16. 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.

  17. 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 😉

  18. 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!

  19. 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.
