Okay, I’m supposed to be working but the fact is, I’m hiding out in my spare room office to get away from the family that refused to leave. I’ve had guests for over a week and I’m a little…ummm stressed.
To kill some time and get some peace, I started scrolling through the SEOmoz rolls and saw a wide range of avatars – some expressive, some creative, some cheesy clip art (mine) – but certainly there’s a wide range. So, with the eggnog curdling and the needles dropping off the tree, I suggest the following as the best avatars. And since I’m hiding out, feel free to disagree (like I needed to say that). My wife wants me to hang something somewhere. Send help.
