Tired Solution

Camping at the office until you can barely keep your eyes open? Caffeine no longer doing the trick? Social life nil? Haven't seen the sky for days? Can't remember the last time you saw the wife and kids? Do you even have a wife and kids?

Then you need an Energypod. This $8000 piece of modernist furniture gives you the privacy for a 20-minute nap, plus "a discord of vibration and acoustic alarm" to make sure you don't waste too much valuable work time on pointless things like sleep.

Or you could just admit to yourself that your job is bloody insane and make a career change.

    Let's try to find the silver lining: I hear the Chinese only give you seven minutes in the hyberbolic naptime chamber...and it wakes you up with a gradeschool-style yardstick wrap to the knuckles.

    Thank God for good ol'capitalism.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
