  1. Wow. I thought the call-in/phone center in my t own that required employees to wear a certain type of shoe was goofy, but this video has goofiness at a whole new level. This happened almost a hundred years ago, but is too good not share. I read this in the book "The Story of a Boy at the Hogarth Press" , (the publishing firm started by Leonard and Virginia Woolf) and this is my best recollection: A young man who worked for Woolfs came in at 9:01 and Leonard Woolf was going to dock him a minute's pay. The young man said he set his watch by the B.B.C. and was on time. Leonard Woolf set his watch by Big Ben and said the young man was late by one minute. What followed was a screaming argument about whether the time was 9:00 or 9:01. While the battle was raging, Virginia Woolf came in from outside, hadn't heard anything through the metal door, and said, "My watch has stopped. Does anyone know what time it is?"

  2. I think it would be a scream to bring in one of those chair-bucket toilet chairs and set it next to your desk. Maybe put a roll of toilet paper on the edge of the desk. Don't say anything, just let the management see it. This would probably get the worker fired, but it would be so, so, so worth it!
