Well crap.
So I know it's pretty normal for people to actually do some WORK at work. Most people sit at their desk and spend all of their time hard-focused on their work, making sure that it's perfect in every way. That's why I don't think it surprises anyone when I say
my art tablet has been banned from my non-art related office.
"Whatever, bear," you might say, "there's no playing at work!"
But it's a big portion of my work day! Usually I come in, get some coffee, put on my snarky snarl, and while I study my employee's daily mistakes, I would draw. I do it when I didn't have something insane to work on, it was never a distraction (I think anyway), and it was immensely relaxing.
But at some point an employee said something to my boss about my drawing and my boss, who had questioned me about the tablet and had previously been satiated, finally said "no tablet for forty."
"Whatever, bear," you might say, "why not draw at home?"
Well that's the problem: it means I have to reschedule my life! I got so used to being able to do the drawing at work, that I have my home life filled with all my other passions like
1. video games (70 hours)
2. cooking (10 hours)
3. writing music (20 hours)
4. smoking (92 hours)
5. video games (63 hours)
6. rolling cigarettes (5 hours)
7. avoiding Snaileb (14.5 hours)
8. studying (30 min.)
9. smoking (2 hours)
10. and finally sleeping (8 hours)
Shit, that's 285 hours right there, and that's just Monday! So as you can plainly see, I have no time to do anything extra at all.
So I come to you Destructoid, a broken heart and a request:
Please help me make a device that can stop time so I can draw.
Seriously, or else CTZ is going to totally kill me.

[in before someone asks - the w/e bear is the last thing I drew before the ban. he's my closest friend]
Speaking of drawing when you are not supposed to, I just finished a sweet new avatar for me in Creative Writing today. Now I just need to scan it and color it in. Then.....
SUPER EPIC FETUS-NESS!!!!
But cereally, trim down on your avoiding Snaileb time.
It almost seems feasible.
You guys make me feel so happy.
I think you misspelled "making you stronger."
also, caleb.
I should have put [sic] behind it I guess.
Er..
Star Wars.
Damn it, I said it again!
Anyways, I feel your pain. Why not just hide the tablet in your pants?
I'm helping!
It's hard work being lazy... I've been on the floor at my new job for about 3 weeks now, I've done about 5 or 6 hours of work total.
2) Explain to people at work that your tablet is preferred over the standard mouse and keys setup. It is NOT used for what they call "drawlings".
3) I want to sex your w/e bear.
Here Comes A New Challenger!
w/e bear vs. PedoBear.
Fight!
The really funny part is that I was simple doing "a little more" than I needed to at work. Now that I can't draw, I'm micromanaging the FUCK out of everyone now.
@everyone who cares about my smoking
You guys are sweet, but I'm not going to break a New Year's Resolution.
Perhaps when your boss went to take it away, you should have grabbed the wacom box from under your desk and screamed RSI!!! I get RSI without that!!!!!!! And shown them wacoms box messages proclaiming how much better tablets are for your hands.
Never had a Wacom, so i can't even imagine that kind of pain ;o
