YEEEEES! And it is even easier for me to do it while doing video conferences (I am not good in looking away from the knitting or crochet). I often find it helps me to refrain from intervening too much and to stay cooler and let others fight :-DDD Shame on me, I sometimes even paint while being on a board meeting (video meeting): the meetings are often long and fruitless and as it is charity work I do not feel too bad if I can accomplish (sketching/Knitting/crochet) something else during these long meetings.
I am very strict about this - 90 minutes only and business has to be done in that time. Going digital really helped, I could claim "health and safety" and "good practice".
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
