Totally work-related research
LTO Tape Clicker
Every tape you click counts as professional development. Start at LTO-1, fill each cartridge, and work your way up to the new 40 TB LTO-10. By the end you'll know more about tape generations than most people in the meeting. Possibly more than the person running it.
If anyone walks past your desk, you're doing LTO research. Which is true. Technically.
