You know when you have one of THOSE days at work, the kind that might be best fixed by a couple of hours of retail therapy, or even a nice meander to a Starbucks– but neither is feasible? Consider instead clearing your head of weighty thoughts with any one of these fun and arcane 2-minute cyberstops (emphasis on fun and arcane– we all need a dose now and then, don’t we)?
| Cyberbreak #1: create your own on-screen fireworks show… Few things inspire more of a sense of childlike wonder and delight than a fireworks show. Here you can pick your perfect setting (a ballpark, a concert in the park, the Grand Canyon)… and click away to create a cyber fireworks display, complete with those satisfying little boom sounds, that will at least momentarily transport you to a summer night. |  |

Cyberbreak #2: Vent any lingering hostility by taking it out on the website of your greatest offender…
Far safer than punching a wall or ranting in an email and then impetuously hitting “send,” simply type in the URL of that brutal client’s website and enjoy “destroying” it. In fact, you can pick your poison: eraser, landmines, nuclear bomb. Of course we should note: no actual websites are destroyed in the process.
Cyberbreak #3: Let your mood dictate your voyage
What better way to distract yourself than to surf new cyberseas… with your mood of the moment as your compass? Tell this site you are feeling “emotionally lost” and it might take you to amillionstories.co.uk, a British-based site that publishes interesting personal stories… or determine you’re just plain “stressed” and could send you to poems.com. You may only appreciate about half of these esoteric destinations, but after a few minutes of mood surfing, you’ll probably find that, at least your mood has changed for the better…
