Cultural Diversity

I have proposed new cultural diversity strategies for my work place. I can't believe I'm not being taken seriously.

I think we should be allowed to randomly select employment practices from other countries as they suit our personal needs. For example, the japanese take naps and drink with their colleagues. The french take long lunches and drink wine at lunch. Pretty much all europeans take the whole month of August off.

I also think we, here in the south, should get two "good weather days" because we never get snow days. I think each spring and fall, we should declare the weather too good to be stuck in the office and just close everything down. It would encourage physical fitness and improve morale. Also, I think our employers should encourage us to get 20 minutes of sunshine each day in order to make sure our bodies are manufacturing enough vitamin D.

I'm sure there are other practices we could adopt that would make us healthier, more alert, and enjoy the whole work day more. I'm open to more suggestions.
