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?

I need a “time to knit” tab!

I need a “I’ll do your grocery shopping” tab!

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

I’d like a nap tab! I would click it and get a 20 minute cat nap after lunch, which would be awesome.

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!

I’d love a “stop time” button so I could get some of the stuff done that I don’t have time for!
Bonney said,
April 15, 2011 @ 9:29 am
My tab would say “Clean up after dinner.” I’d be real happy with a tab that did that.

I need a “stop surfing for yarn and go knit” tab.
Christienne Stewen said,
April 15, 2011 @ 9:47 am
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 !!

How about a tab which calls in a masseuse for a twenty minute neck/shoulder massage!
Happy weekend!
Melanie said,

How about one for a nap? I could really use one of those several days a week!
Laura said,
April 15, 2011 @ 10:05 am
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.

I second the vote for a Nap button.

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

I would have one that says “time to knit” which would be located right next to the one for pizza delivery.
Linda said,

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)
Mel said,

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…

You mean you DON’T have a coffee tab on your computer? How strange . . . .

Can’t believe no one else has said it. A BEER TAB! Something that brings me a nice cold beer whenever!!
Angie said,

“Massage”, “cocktail”, “payday”
Linda said,

How about a “bring me some money” tab?
Lulynn said,

How funny all of the tabs are- I totally agree! I especially like the coffee, knit and nap tabs best of all.
Cheryl Walsh said,
April 15, 2011 @ 12:20 pm
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.
Wendy said,
April 15, 2011 @ 12:23 pm
I want the “fast forward to quittin’ time” tab.
Jody said,
April 15, 2011 @ 12:26 pm
I’m thinking ‘knit break’ and ‘dark chocolate’ tabs would be great…
Lisa said,
April 15, 2011 @ 12:27 pm
I want a “knit my swatch” key… poof! perfect gauge with the click of a mouse!
Ruth Anne said,

nap time!
Barbara-Kay said,
April 15, 2011 @ 2:02 pm
My immediate thoughts were “block” and “swatch”. Then all the fun knitting would be mine.
cindy said,
April 15, 2011 @ 2:16 pm
I just wish the “Ctrl” button would actually give me control!
pam said,

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

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
Julie said,
April 15, 2011 @ 3:13 pm
Got to go with Tea Time, Knit Time and Go Home Early not necessarily in that order.
MicheleinMaine said,
April 15, 2011 @ 3:16 pm
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.
Mary Ellen said,
April 15, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
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!
Marsha in CO said,
April 15, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
My tab would say “Martini, shaken, not stirred.”
Pat said,

My husband already thinks I have a Loopy Ewe button that brings me yarn!
Kay said,
April 15, 2011 @ 3:45 pm
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!)

Diane said,

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.

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
Linda said,

I was always wishing for a “trap door” button. (I had a very stressful job)
Christel said,
April 15, 2011 @ 7:58 pm
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!
Kay said,
April 15, 2011 @ 8:07 pm
My tab would say: Calgon!!! Take me awayyyyyyyyyyyyy!! lol
Robin F. said,
April 15, 2011 @ 9:35 pm
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.
Andrea said,
April 15, 2011 @ 10:38 pm
I’d like an “instant masseuse” tab. Ohhhh, yeah. ^-^
Liz said,
April 16, 2011 @ 8:26 am
“Would you like to try a free sample” tab would be excellent!
Mary Jane said,
April 16, 2011 @ 4:05 pm
A “wash/dry/fold laundry” button would be indespensable around here.

When I was a brand new pharmacist , my manager always wanted an “oh shoot” button….which we be an awesome way to recall items you sent and want to edit!!!
Lisa said,

Where I work, there are some days I would love a “Gibb’s Slap” button!
Marianne Y said,
April 18, 2011 @ 7:24 am
That would be a fun tab to have. The one I really want, though, is to replace the Option key on the bottom row of my left hand, with an Enter key like I was used to for many, many years. I have had this computer for a couple of months now, and I still can’t get used to the lack of an Enter key that I have always used! It affects some of my login passwords, too!
Mary Ellen said,
April 18, 2011 @ 12:13 pm
I’d like a “More hours in the day to knit” or “More knitting mojo” tabs
Wasie said,
April 18, 2011 @ 12:44 pm
I would love a button that would fill in the grades for my students (whether or not I had graded the assignments) and they would all get the grades that they deserved and earned. And I could then go home and happily relax and knit away.
Jan said,
April 18, 2011 @ 2:20 pm
I like Caro’s ‘stop time’ and Cheryl’s ‘don’t forget’, but I also want one that says ‘plus 3 hours sleep’ to hit most days when I only get 4 hours, but need to feel more rested!
Thanks for the fun!
