Office Doodle Notebook

Everyone knows the feeling: you’re trapped in an endless meeting or held hostage on the phone by a droning client. Or maybe the minutes are just ticking by very slowly. What can you do? Doodle, of course! Susan McBride—who put some fun in kids’ schooldays with The Don’t Get Caught Doodle Notebook and The I’m So Bored Doodle Notebook—now comes to the aid of adults who need a break from the daily grind. Though this humorous interactive book looks like an everyday planner—complete with charts and graphs to confuse anyone who sneaks a peek—it’s really a little bit of subversive escapism. That’s because inside are dozens of creative ways to doodle, including warm-ups to unleash your inner artist. Vent pent-up aggressions with voodoodling. Illustrate what your co-workers—from the lunch stealer to the obnoxiously perky intern—look like through your keen eyes. Explore the “Lame Excuses Hall of Fame.” There’s even a little “doodling analysis” provided—so you can find out what your art really means.
