I was fired today and charged with indecent exposure as unbeknownst to myself, my boss clearly didn't observe this holiday... He informed me that "Working Naked Day" was meant to represent those who are working from home 'naked' -- stripped of the resources that are taken for granted in the traditional corporate workplace and NOT to be taken literally. Needless to say, it was a cold ride home.

The only way to work, is as casual and comfortable as possible! I work from home and must say I really enjoy being able to work nude if I feel like it in the summer, or in my underwear. I am much more productive then if I were to be wearing a tight uncomfortable wool suit with a necktie choking me all day.
Don't think I can ever go back to that world. I encourage everyone to try working in the nude for a day...It is very liberating!
I have, on occasion, worked on Mahalo semi-nekkid, but today I'm in undies, jeans, a sweater, and thick fuzzy socks. I also have one cat on my lap and another trying to work his way on amidst the laptop and other cat, and they are excellent space-heaters. And they're naked, as it were, in only the fur the universe gave them.
So that counts? Really, in the metaphorical sense, I love working naked. I love the quiet, the lack of pestering coworkers, the lack of commute.
I love that it saves energy and reduces my carbon footprint. I love that it means I can do the laundry and burn scented candles and have lunch with my husband every day. I love that I can travel with my husband for his job and just work in a library wherever we happen to be.
I love everything about working naked in the metaphorical sense, and wouldn't give it up even for the fun stuff that in-house Mahalo staff get (like those fruit buffets!).
Didn't realize today was Working Naked Day until I read this. I stripped off my clothes and now typing this. I'm freezing now so I'm gonna crank up the heat and get busy on Mahalo naked!
Now if only a I had a sexy man to work on Mahalo with me ;).
I'm wearing my Life is Good snuggy socks. But that's not all. I'm also wearing fleece sweatpants, a fleece pullover over a thermal top, and a goofy fleece hat.
Yeah, it's kind of chilly in here, but I'd rather put on some extra duds than crank up the heat. I'm kind of one of those people who feels more comfortable with clothes on. I hate to be a party-pooper, but, really, bare skin against this chair wouldn't feel too good, especially when I'd go to stand up.(Imagine sound of peeling scotch tape off of flesh.) And I'd have goose pimples on my goose pimples.
So, no, I'm afraid I didn't participate in Naked Work at Home day. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Mahalo is revolutionizing search engines with a new mission -- to give users a hassle-free, informative and relevant experience. Instead of relying on a complex algorithm to generate search results, Mahalo uses human beings. Real, live people research each search term, seeking out the sites that best fit the user's request.
While most search engines depend on complex algorithms developed by a small group of people, Mahalo searches are the result of hundreds of people working to sort out the absolute best of the Web. Even though people power the search engine, they aren't feverishly typing results as users send in requests. Instead, Mahalo contributors submit search results pages (SeRPs) to a centralized database, called the Mahalo Greenhouse.
When the SeRP has a few great links in it, Mahalo publishes it to the Web, giving users access to the search results. Each SeRP includes a completion percentage, indicating how close Mahalo employees feel the results fit their ideal of 100 percent of the best links on the Web relating to that topic. The easiest way to understand the philosophy behind the Mahalo search engine is to use it.
When you search for a term like "Hawaii," for example, you'll see that links are organized into subcategories. The first subcategory is "The Mahalo Top 7," a list of seven sites Mahalo employees feel are the most relevant to the term. Other subcategories include Hawaii Vacations, Hawaii State Government, Hawaii State History and Hawaii State News, among others.
You can scan a search result to look for the information you need and continue browsing other links, knowing that each one is the result of careful research. In this article, we'll learn about Mahalo's internal structure and explore what the Mahalo search experience is like. We'll look at the Mahalo Greenhouse database, where employees build and tweak search results.
And, we'll find out how to build a SeRP and work for Mahalo. In the next section, we'll learn what happens when you enter a search into Mahalo.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
