Jane Austen and Casual Friday
March 20, 2006
According to a recent worldwide survey by SonicWALL, a computer network security firm, 10 percent of telecommuters work in the nude. Thirty-nine percent wear sweats. And only 44 percent of women and 30 percent of men reported taking a shower on their don’t-bring-your-funky-body-odor-to-work days.
This means that if all remote and mobile workers suddenly materialized into their central downtown offices, they would make Casual Friday look like a regency ball from a Jane Austen novel.
Well, it’s not like they had Super Speed Stick in Jane Austen’s time or anything.
