    Most Xara users know that Xara Ltd's offices are in a fine old country home. What most don't realize is just how posh it is to work for Xara Ltd.

    Many users have seen posts in these Xara forums by Xara employee Mark Goodall. If you're like me you've wondered: what's the deal with Mark? Is he holed up in the servant quarters or does he rate a bedroom? Wonder no more - a pic of Mark's office has been smuggled out of the mansion. See it here now before Xara Ltd. censors it!

    Regards, Ross

    PS - If you think Mark's office is nice, you should see Kate's!

    Ross,

    "There are very real benifits to the pool office. Water helps support your body so it is less stressful on your muscles and heart. It is easy to identify which employee does those dreaded SBD (silent but deadly) farts. Furthermore, when in a pool the office worker is well grounded and therefore is highly unlikely to transfer damaging static discharges to sensitive electronic equipment. Pool offices are perfect for computer technicians."

    Along with these benefits you listed above, you neglected to mention the increased productivity from employees who would no longer need to vacate their desks every time they felt the need to relieve themselves. ;-)
    Wise men still seek Him.

    wALDO - A "pool" table would be nice but I think what he really needs is a swim-up bar! I've always dreamed of having beer on tap at work!

    I tried to make the water look like beer. It wasn't very successful. Does anone have any ideas about how to do it? I found recolouring the water wasn't enough - it needs a frothy head too.

    Not good enough to rate an in-pool office however

    Seems like they are not giving you enough to do at work, Ross. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
