Halfbakery MS Office Skin

You know... for when the boss walks past

Where I live internet access is frustratingly dependant on a phone line with expensive line rental. I should add the line rental fee has no included calls. Over a year this means (at a minimum) you spend $240 for the privilege of a phone connection even if you don’t use it. Since I make and receive all my phone calls on my mobile, I don’t require a home phone and refuse to pay for this "service". </end rant>

In short - for the reason above I don’t have the internet at home so most of my baking is done at work.

Problematically, there is a direct link between the 'bakery and workplace productivity; as time spent baking increases, productivity declines. This means my boss isn't as keen on the site as I am.

The solution is to apply an MS Office looking skin to the 'bakery, so that to the casual observer a quick glance at your VDU appears as if you are studiously working away in Word or perhaps Excel.

"He is working late again. What a good employee."

       I have always thought that having the hb open at work does look more like a *word* document than people who are watching movies or checking My Space.
