Telecommuters work naked
(SF)
Original Story Here
Posted by Jonathon Morgan
On location, Under the outer, Casual wear
Sure, it's easy to pick out an outfit for the office. Even if you're only marginally interested in fashion, chances are that you'll outshine the lackluster efforts of your mostly drab co-workers.
But what should you wear when your office ... is your couch?
For those of us who telecommute, or work from home, our standard getup for the daily grind is our favorite pair of pajamas. However, the latest trend amongst home-office types is nothing of the sort -- it's nothing at all, actually.
Naked. Nude. In the buff. That's how 1 in 8 men and 1 in 14 women like to work from home. The desire to bare all while bringing home the bacon is becoming so popular that one California-based clothing-optional resort reports that 80% of their guests aren't on vacation -- they just like to work without covering their bits and pieces.
So the next time you're chatting with your accountant, graphic designer, publicist -- or anyone else who might be free to work out of their house -- picture them naked. It's quite possible that they already are.

Isn't it neat how now ... Pixies prepares you for work; and, work prepares you to return to Pixies. Kind of a mini-eco system, don't you think?

Naked I have no problem with. It's when people realize that telecommuting removes the need for shaving & other personal hygiene that worries me...

Unfortunately, we have two workers that had to move from their shared-office to one where they were not "closed in". Unfortunately, now the odor just spreads down the open hallway. I understand that many cultures are not in the habit of bathing, but am I being to harsh to say that this is Texas and we are very liberal in our billing of water??? Please use some and oh....soap is cheap!!!!!
