You’re briefing your team on an important project when you notice a coworker is busy texting away on a cell phone instead of paying attention to what you are saying.

I don’t think I’ve used the term since that operations course I took as an undergrad. But this week, I thought I’d dust it off and apply it to the workplace. Is being the last one in the office in the morning and the first one to leave in the afternoon a problem?

Absolutely. Other rooms I’d like to see in order of desirability:
Bottomless tub of popcorn room. For workers at organizations where popcorn has been banned after repeated smoke alarm drops.

Dunkin Donuts room. 12 hours in Logan airport put a strain on our relationship, Dunkin Donuts, but I’m ready to give it another shot.

The “anything but business news” TV room. As the name implies, business news channels would be strictly prohibited. Could also be combined with popcorn room.

I was really worried until I heard about the economic stimulus package. Now, knowing that I’m about to receive a windfall of free cash in the form of a tax rebate check, I think I’ll invest half and live off of the rest for the next 20 years.

All kidding aside, I’m not that worried. It’s not the first recession and it definitely won’t be the last.
