The Sandusky Wall Mount Laptop Security Cabinet from Staples Can Save A Lot of Heartaches

by Joi

Sandusky Wall Mount Laptop Security Cabinet
The Sandusky Wall Mount Laptop Security Cabinet
from Staples is just what you need to keep your laptop safe and secure. This small, yet fiercely strong, wall cabinet stores away laptop computers when they aren’t in use to prevent theft while allowing for stand-up workstation use.

Features:

  • Charcoal finish 20 gauge welded steel construction
  • Electric keypad lock eliminates need for keys
  • Cabinet dimensions: 15 3/4″H x 19 3/4″W x 4 3/4″D
  • Computer platform measures 16 2/3′W x 12 1/4″D and is cushioned to protect laptops
  • Cabinet includes two 1 1/2″ diameter cable management openings large enough for a power cord to allow for charging when the laptop is secured
  • Cabinet’s interior measures 3″D when closed
  • Electronic coded lock uses 4 AA batteries and features a programmable administrative and user password
  • Platform straps keep laptop securely in place when closed
  • Keypad has two emergency back-up options: An included external power source that plugs into the keypad and a key if the code is forgotten

Extra security measures just make a lot of sense. People are getting ridiculously desperate (and bold) with the economy the way it is. Hopefully it’ll swing the other way when things change, but until then, let’s keep our stuff tucked away safe and sound.

Rollers and Balls – Good For What Ails You

by Joi

If you spend as much time at a desk as I do (at least 6 hours a day), you’re all too familiar with the backaches, the muscle tension, the aches, the pains, etc. Research has shown that long hours at the desk can cause a host of problems: lower back pain, fatigue, headaches, a loss of flexibility, and even lead to poor posture. I add to my own woes by having a weird tendency to sit on at least one leg most of the time. I’ve been known to pull them both up into the chair with me. A quick self check just discovered that I’m doing it now, actually.

Certified personal trainer and founder of “Get Fit in 6″ suggests that those of us who are in this particular boat look into purchasing a “foam roller” and/or a Medicine Ball.

The image at the top of the post is a foam roller. Target sells this particular one. You can click HERE to find it online, but if you have a Target near you, I’m pretty sure they’d have it in stock.

I’ve never tried one of these foam rollers, but I HAVE used a Medicine Ball before, though, and recommend them highly. They are a back’s best friend because they provide you with a gentle but oh so effective stretch.

I’ve also treated my feet to smaller medicine balls before after a long day at the mall. Shopping can be pretty draining on a body, too. Rubbing the soles of your feet over the balls gives them a great little massage that makes them happy campers again.

When you get a chance, you might want to check out a Medicine Ball for yourself. They’re pretty sweet.

Ever Seen a $150 Stapler?

by Joi

Swarovski Crystal Stapler

You can now say you’ve seen what a $150.00 stapler looks like. $156.00 to be exact – and that’s on sale, thank you very much. This high falutin stapler is normally priced at $195.

The Swarovski Crystal Stapler is a beauty, I have to hand it to her. All decked out in her crystal bling, she’s fine and apparently knows it. The web site says, “This Swarovski Crystal covered stapler will make everyone in the office jealous.” and I can’t argue with that.

The Bamboo Office Chair Mat is incredibly durable and will add an elegant touch to any office or home office setting. Furthermore, it is easy to ship and easy to transport. No assembly required!

  • 55″ x 57″ with tongue

If you’re a proud owner of a plastic thinga-ma-ja-bob, don’t fire off angry e-mails at me accusing me of hating on your chair mat. Alas, I spend my day hudging, budging, and sailing along on a hard ocean of plastic as well.

For now.

by Joi

We’re offering one free Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP to one lucky Office Freaks reader!

First a little about this gorgeous printer. The Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP was designed to be small, sleek, and silent. Doesn’t sound like a lot of printers I’ve known in my life – large, clumbersome, and anything but silent.

The Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP is actually the smallest laser MFP in the world. With it’s elegant black finish, buttonless soft-touch controls and blue LEDs, it wins the best looking category as well. As if that weren’t enough, at just 45 dBA, it’s the quietest laser MFP in existence. But that doesn’t mean it won’t do its job and do it well. It offers fast 17 ppm printing and copying and 4800 x 4800 enhanced resolution color scanning.

Ultra-Compact Laser MFP

• Smallest laser printer/copier/color scanner in the world
• High-style glossy piano black finish
• Buttonless soft-touch sensor panels with blue LED scan status indicators
• Easy jam clearing
• Quietest printer operation in the world (45 dBA)
• Soft, melodic low toner and low paper alert tones
• Semi-auto sliding paper tray
• Print and copy up to 17 ppm, up to 4800 x 4800 enhanced scanning

So, if you’re ready to work in style, lean in closely and see what you have to do to win one of these beauties:

To be eligible to win a Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP, you have to share your wisdom, your wit, or a little of both. Simply submit your Office Story to Joi (that’s me) to be published on Office Freaks (you’re there). We will publish each “qualifying” entry we receieve – whether it’s 1 or 100.

The post should be connected to office life in some way – whether at home or away. You could tell how you solved a problem, decorated an office, or even tell a funny story about a co-worker. You could also, of course, give a review of a product you loved or even hated.

I’m not that great with following rules, myself, so I’m not going to throw many at you. Other than this: We will not print any words that are vulgar, inflammatory, insulting, or hateful. If we don’t publish an entry, it isn’t eligible, so tell your words to play nice.

If you have any questions, at all, please e-mail me (joisigers@aim.com) and I’ll do my level best to answer them.

So, how is the winner determined? We will have 13 people read the posts and vote on their favorite. The person who entered the winning post will be sent one of these fetching printers. If there is a tie, the entries that were chosen will be written on index cards and placed into a large bag. We’ll then have one of our daughters pull out a card…. ta da, we’ll have the winner of the Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP.

Spread the word and e-mail me your entires asap – I look forward to reading all of them!

Flamingos, Cats, Horses, and Penguins !

Flamingo Sticky Note Pad Set

I’m not sure what I love most about this Flamingo Sticky Note Pad Set
, the fact that I’m addicted to Sticky notes, the fact that they’re pink (pink and purple are my favorite colors), the fact that they’re completely random and unexpected, or the fact that they take my mind back to Florida’s beaches and gorgeous birds.

I guess it’s a combination of all 4!

From the web site:

Great to have on hand for months of notes and reminders, this Flamingo set includes ten 50-sheet pads of self-sticking paper. 3″ x 4″. A Whales & Friends® exclusive!

Whales & Friends also has a Cats Sticky Notes Pad Set of 10, and since the Cat is my favorite animal – it’ll be the set I get first.

There are also horses and penguins for those who are so inclined.

Touchless Soap Dispenser to Keep Germs at Bay

by Joi

I’m not one of those people who marinates in antibacterial hand gel before, during, and after going out in public, but I don’t go eagerly bouncing into public restrooms like Tigger, either. I guess, like most people, I’m somewhere in the clean-but-not-smelling-like-rubbing-alcohol middle.

I have to admit, I really like the pictured above. Even those of us who try not to stress about too much have to applaud anything so cleverly tidy. There are times when hands on is a good thing, and there are times when it’s a ridiculously hideous thing. These cool liquid soap dispensers are perfect “Touchless Soap Dispenser, White” for the office or home. They’re available in a couple of colors, but I thought white would look so prim and proper with the colors on this blog.

From the Website:
The touchless liquid-soap dispenser is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens in homes, offices, factories, schools, hospitals, restaurants and more. Just pass your hand underneath and an adjustable of amount of soap is dispensed. It’s economical and environmentally friendly because you can buy soap in bulk. Includes waterproof labels, instructions, tape tabs and silicone adhesive. Requires four AA batteries (not included).

Product Features:

• Hands-free operation is convenient and minimizes the risk of germs

• Simple push-button adjustment of dispensed amount

• Long battery life. Four AA batteries (not included) deliver up to 10,000 cycles

• Use with liquid soaps, shampoos, conditioners and other similar liquids

Visit X-treme Geek to take a closer look at the “Touchless Soap Dispensers”. I give them two very clean thumb’s ups….or thumb up’s…or thumbs up. Thumbs up – yeah, I’m going with that one.
