Take Lara Croft To Work Day

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Spong.com article discussing publisher Eidos naming this Friday, 4th July, as 'Take Lara Croft To Work Day' in the UK. According to the official site, "The 'Take Lara To Work Day' initiative was devised following a recent report from the London School of Economics on how creating a happy working environment stimulates the workforce", and the publicity stunt even has an 'Email Your Boss' link so you can beg him to let you play Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness in work hours. Unfortunately, any companies that do this may not actually be making their employees happy.

I don't have to work on July 4th.

Take Lara Croft to work?

[Jodrell]

I think I'd make myself much happier taking Lara Croft home, thanks all the same. I'd need a bit of privacy for what I have in mind.

July 4th?

Good Idea, but:

1) How many wpm?

2) Can she write VB Excel macros?

3) Does she put the water or milk in first when making a cup of tea?

"The 'Take Lara To Work Day' initiative was devised following a recent report from the London School of Economics on how creating a happy working environment stimulates the workforce"

So what does a happy envrionment have to do with Tomb Raider again?

And is it just coincidence when this idea is on the same date that commemorates another spectacular British failure? :)

Acclaim?

Sounds like Acclaim is behind this.
