Jane Austen and Casual Friday

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 11:54 pm

This just made us laugh.

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.
