The Center for Artificial Indifference

Labour Au Naturel…

UPI reports that of people who work at home, 12 percent of males and 7 percent of females work naked. They must be the ones who do not have cats climbing on them (sharp claws — OUCH!), and do not have leather or vinyl covered chairs (brrrrr). Geez, have to remember the webcan is on! Be careful around the electric stapler and the shredder, guys…

A fully clad thanks to CG Hill over at dustbury.com who has not been seen naked at his place of employment since such records have been kept.

    Ha! I did work in a tank top and bikini bottom this summer, because it so damned hot in this house in August. But, naked in the front room would scandalize the neighbors and maybe get me arrested.

    I tend a server farm; they keep it cold in there.

    A dirty look keeps the cat away….hissing also helps

    The whole report is due to a miss-understanding(sic!). It should read:
    Of those employed at home, 12% (m) / 7%(f) were barely working…

    Geez I don’t even shower naked let alone work naked when I work at home.

    Laughing … still laughing … thinking, “I love naked” and knowing myself happily in the 7% whenever possible - and it’s possible often enough. But you’re right, Winston, at least about the cats (and dogs) - however, no problem here with the leather.

    I wonder what prompted the question, and I note that the survey reflected workers in California. That might make a difference… in my case, not.

    I had fun with this one! -mg
