Welcome to the Jungle

I'm working on some talks for a day conference for Ecom on the Christian and Work called "Welcome to the Jungle" (14th June).

Here is a good quote I came across from Tim Harford's new book "The Logic of Life":

“Not many people lie on their deathbeds wishing they had spent more time in the office. Ah, the office: the mournful gloaming under the fluorescent strips, the monotonous swish of the photocopier, the ‘ping’ as e-mails arrive from bullying bosses, work-shy colleagues and backstabbing rivals. Much of it is little better than spam. In fact, spam is a blessed release: a missive from another world, sent by a transparent crook and wasting no more than a second or two. Real e-mail also comes from time-wasting criminals, but it takes a lot more effort to deal with”.

Any reflections on the workplace??
