I think my boss reads Faucault.
Not really, but it would be sweet if she did. During the winter months, there are a few days due to weather or school closings, she will be late to work. Which is of no relevence to me. However, here's the awesome part. On the days she knows she won't be in until 10 or 11, she has a insider in the office open her office door and turn the light on, thus providing the illusion that she's there.
ie: The Panopticon.
Her power so complete over us that she rules with only the chance of her being there to keep us in line.
I tried to explain this to my coworkers and was met only with blank stares. I don't think my revolt will go very well.

Good stuff.
The worker equivalent of this is "Face Time". More important than actually doing work, is to be sure that people see you at work early or late..
I used to sit in a cube that was off the main walkway, people couldn't see me.. If I was at work late, and I heard someone walking by.. I made sure to mash on the keyboard a bit so they knew I was there.
