Roger: What is this?! Woman: The centerpiece of my efficiency review. I've noticed that when you and your staff work on the computer, your legs are unoccupied. If we could train your people to type with their feet on a second keyboard, we could lay off half your staff with no loss in productivity. Of course, if we double peoples' workloads, we'd probably have to give them 10 percent raises... Roger: Why do I keep thinking today is April 1? Woman: You know, my last clients eye had that exact same twitch.

The boss would love that idea. Then they could put a pencil in the worker’s mouth and have ‘em use that!

Monkeys can do keyboards, but of course we don’t have many monkeys. We do have lots of humans, they can keyboard. If only we could figure out how to do business letters with a game controller. “The Business” game, wow.

Why not put all the workers on exercise bikes, and connect the bikes to generators? Then, the workers could be producing the electricity needed to run their computers! (I didn’t REALLY just suggest that, did I?) <:-)

Comments you are so funny. Where I work at County is trying to reduce paperwork and trim budgets. I wonder if bosses know there is a new computer coming don’t know when voice activated. Instead of a secretary or the boss typing correspondences themselves voice activated. My husband read about this in the paper long time ago. I found out how to do spell check and I don’t have a MAC. Wish I thought of this before. Certain commenters wouldn’t complain.

We had an efficiency expert at a place where I once worked and changes were made to the way we did things, but within a couple of months after they left we were doing things the old way again. And our management was ok with that. Seems the most efficient thing to do would have been to cancel the experts in the first place …

About the generators – they could have a simple treadle – like on an old, old sewing machine – and the peons could just treaddle away while doing their work and produce their own electricity. If your bulb is dim, the slavemaster knows you’re not working hard enuf.

Why do so many government documents have a page to tell us about the paper work reduction act. Doesn’t that just waste paper?

Gweedo Murray said: “Using game controllers would see a massive influx of ten year olds into the work force. Time to change those child labor laws…”
Now that I think about it, if you handed all the major corporations over to ten year olds and told them it was some kind of Sim game, they’d probably fix the economy.
