The power of IM in motivating work moods

Recently we have installed an internal IM software into our work environment. It's suppose to create a fast P2P environment for us to talk to each other, distribute files, discuss issues at ease - all at our fingertips...without having to leave our workstation. However, our "HP* club" have already found a creative use for it. It's a fast stress reliever for us whenever we feel bored of working... Before you think the HP club members are slackers, please be reminded that this kind of stress relievers are very necessary for our modern technology savvy society because we live in a big, never ending, deadline chasing, pressure cooker...

*HP here does not have any association with Hewlett Packard in any way. It stands for Hate P* Club, where P is a person whom everyone just loves to hate, or in the words of the founder, "His behavior makes you just cannot NOT hate him."

Here's a glimpse of our short stress reliever session:
