While sitting at my desk yesterday, I was creating many virtual machines to push our virtualization to its limits and realized how bad virtualization has been for my health.

There's no longer a need to get up from my desk and run to the server room (you could say "virtually" never). I just point my browser to the virtualization manager and create virtual infrastructure from the comfort of my chair with a click of a mouse. I never have to get up and go to the server room (Yupiee!).

Now, if you are like me, you desk is stocked with snacks. And when you're at your desk, it's Cheeto here and Dorito there, washed down with some soda. The more I'm at my desk, the more Cheetos I eat. Since I'm at my desk more often thanks to virtualization and walking to the server room less, that can't be good for me. My doctor will probably tell me, "you need to cut back on your virtualization."

Ah, well. Maybe it's a good thing. I pass the kitchen on my way to the server room and there are always snacks there (especially at this time of year), which I now avoid. I'm going to assume it all balances out.
