Wow you sound like my friend at work he paints warhammer during meetings, he even turns the webcam down so we can all watch, it is really therapeutic. Not sure the higher ups would be impressed to know though :D
Narrr let them fight it kinda provides entertainment anyway. I once watched two grown men screaming at one another going red in the face arguing their point, trouble was neither was listening to the other and they were actually agreeing with one another. Personally I think if we'd all been sat knitting there wouldn't have been any fighting, well except screaming at our needles when we go wrong. :D
