"Can I Put This File On Your, Um, Rack?"

One of the great exports in recent times from the United Kingdom is that tongue-in-cheek show, "The Office". But now, the BBC has come up with more proof that folks in TV land are running out of good ideas for the boob tube. Lo and behold, producers there are seriously developing "The Naked Office". Letters have been sent out to companies in England asking them to participate in the show.

The theme of the show is about revealing, pardon the pun, the views and reactions of employee participants on nudity, body image and how clothes impact their position in the office. Along the way, they'll be asked to join such fun activities as posing nude for a drawing class. I'm sure all the men will be bringing some really sharp pencils. Then towards the end, every employee will be asked to show up buck-naked for work, on a day called Naked Friday! Woo-hoo! Doesn't get any more casual than that.

If the show flies and gets to that episode, I'm sure there will be a significant rise in productivity.

That Sinking Feeling
A shortage of “H-1B” visas for foreign technical employees is making things hard for U.S. employers. And Americans are unhappy that jobs are being outsourced to India and other countries, and some of the companies doing it are unhappy with the long-distance employees. Both problems could be fixed via a new scheme being promoted by software entrepreneur Roger Green and former ship captain David Cook. Their new business, “SeaCode”, proposes anchoring a retrofitted cruise ship in international waters off the California coast manned by 600 foreign software engineers linked to the mainland by a broadband Internet connection. “There are some major problems with managing something that is halfway around the world,” says Green, such as executives having to go “on three-week trips to Third World countries” to check on them. And what’s in it for the workers, besides having a job? “Do you remember the Love Boat?” asked Cook. “That’s the kind of facility we’re talking about.” (Boston Globe) ...Isaac and Doc are ready to rock.
