A New Way to Take “Breaks” at Work


When I moved into the new office last year, I wanted to eventually add either a conference table or a pool table to the middle section. Well, conference tables are expensive and boring, so we decided on getting a pool table with a ping pong topper that could double as a meeting table. I elected to wait until I had billed enough time to pay for it and that day arrived this week.

It’s an eight-foot, entry-level Brunswick table with black sides and gray felt with a Kettler topper. I’ve loved billiards since my college days as game room supervisor in Madison and playing on this table is a blast. This is causing my already large backlog of work to grow, but it is spring break, right?

UPDATE: More pictures starting here.
