Taking a tip from the gritters of Scotland, the Minnesota Department of Transportation ran an online poll to name eight of their snowplows. The winning names are shown above, and all the names in the running can be seen at the competition site. There were more than 122,000 votes cast, and many of those who voted will now have some intangible connection with their local snowplow. I'm just surprised that Tator Tot Hotdish didn't rank among the winners. -via Laughing Squid

This is quite stupid and the dressing/undressing time usually frivolous (15 minutes???). I believe those people should come to work naked and dress at work only.
Many of us do work-related things on our own time, from buying work clothes to laundering them. This is just being petty.
And yeah, even though there's a lot of gear... 15 minutes?? I guarantee I could get out of the shower and be geared up and out the door in less than 5 minutes (if I didn't have to do makeup), especially if I had to do it every day.
Anyone remember that video, maybe a year ago, of that Japanese fellow who got dressed for work in something like 30 seconds from the time he got out of bed? Full suit and tie, plus coffee and breakfast in his hand as he walked out the door. It was staged for a Japanese show I think. He could teach this German guy a thing or two.
Yes! I remember that video.
Here's the youtube link, just in case anyone else is thinking of getting paid to put on their pants.
