5 Things to do with our lovely but completely useless Stat Monitor

So in our call center we have this very nice, sleek, cutting edge wall mounted flat screen TV that we lovingly refer to as the “Stat Board”. Looks kinda like this:

"Behold, Excaliber!"

Nice huh? Its purpose is to keep us apprised of our monthly & quarterly sales as well as our phone stats. Great idea right? Well it would be, if only it were situated on a wall that we actually faced and if we didn’t already have a program installed on each of our computers telling us the same exact thing and so much more. It also features the Weather Channel. Don’t ask me why. 

Yes, our stat board is very pretty. It is also completely useless. Pretty much the only time it gets paid any attention is when a tour is walking through.

Here is a list of suggested uses to give this flat screen a new lease on life:

• The Office- Honestly, who wouldn’t love to watch reruns of The Office? While at work. I think it would build camaraderie and lighten the overall *feel* of the department.
• A Yule Log- You know what I’m talking about. Think PBS during winter. Imagine a nice wood burning fireplace and sweet Classical music playing in the background. If that doesn’t soothe my nerves after talking to a real jerk wad who thinks they know our product line better than I do, then I don’t know what will. That's not true- I know a punching bag would make me feel a whole lot better.  Which brings me to suggestion #3.  
• Wii- Wii Sports to the rescue!  Ditto on the team building AND it gives us a chance to work off the 15 cubicle pounds we’ve all racked up since the institution of the Candy Bowl. Seriously, how can people be opposed to veal when we practically live in a cubicle?
• Relocation- Could it be that easy? Yes, relocating this beaut to my Living Room might just be the perfect solution to our problem here.

What about you? What useless piece of Technology would you like to reinvent?
