Cool Desktop Qualifier Course - Jerry Rigged

I brought my new wheels to work where the floor is all carpet and I got tired of seeing my car get stuck. Then I started racing around my desk, but being not too deep, my car kept taking 3 foot dives off the edge.
So, I pulled out the scrap xerox paper and some tape and started putting up borders around my desk edge as well as setting up some ramps. Thus, the Desktop Qualifier Course was born. Hey, looks cheap, but it's good for a little stress relief, and it's still growing.

Great use of recycled company scraps. You need to send those pics to the Sierra club, "Doing my part to save the environment."

Absolutely! I just pulled the paper out of my...uhm..circular file and taped away. My sup even thought it was funny. He's fairly laid back, plus we're all grown ups, so it's not like we need to be watched like hawks. We answer the phone all day long, so they understand it gets rather stressful. Gotta have something to break it up, ya know?
