Unreasonable Employment Practices
Do you have a problem with your employer? Does your boss expect you to work for your pay? Do your colleagues expect you to spend all day working on spreadsheets, invoices, and other things that you don't really care about? Annoying, isn't it? Wouldn't you rather be at home reading Emily Dickinson and staring into the middle distance? Well now there is an answer: read at work and get away with it. You read that right. A new service called Read At Work offers to disguise your reading as Powerpoint slides. Noone will ever know the difference. "What's that you're doing?" your supervisor asks. "Oh, I'm just making up the slides for my Powerpoint presentation at the sales conference tomorrow," you reply. Give it a try. [via]
