Artificial atmosphere
Here’s a product to fix a problem I didn’t know anyone had. A company called Thriving Office offers a compact disc or mp3 file that provides authentic office background sounds to disguise the environment of home office workers during telephone calls.
There are two tracks on the CD: ‘busy’ and ‘very busy.’ The Web site claims that the noise “builds credibility, boosts confidence, fosters concentration, and increases productivity.”
In this day of spotty cell phone coverage, conference calls and labyrinthian voice mail menus, I’m just happy when I can hear the person on the other end of the phone.
As long as your outfitting your home office, you might want to respond to this online survey to get a free Swingline stapler. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to come in red.
