Large churches usually have them — the “Casual” Sunday Service — that service were you can “come as you are”, no suit, no tie, no dress shoes – hey – no problem.

In other words, dress as though you were doing nothing important…

I don’t know about you, but if I seriously thought I was going to “worship God”, I’d wear the best I have — clean shirt, new shoes, silk suit, black tie…

NOTE: There is a real “Pastor Dave”.  This is not based on the idiot preacher featured in That 70’s Show.  The Pastor Dave I know now owns a successful carpet cleaning company — and rarely preaches.

Un film capaz de reflejar cada uno de los roles que conforman el ambiente laboral, utilizando recursos cómicos.

El “casual day” es una práctica empresarial bastante utilizada en Estados Unidos e importada hacia el resto del mundo. Se realiza con el objetivo de reducir el estrés laboral, mejorar las relaciones entre los trabajadores y optimizar los resultados. Así, algunas empresas aprovechan los viernes para realizar viajes al campo, además de otras actividades recreacionales.
El protagonista de la historia, Ruy (Javier Ríos), ha vivido siempre en una burbuja y consiguiendo todo lo que ha querido, así es como José Antonio (Juan Diego), el padre de su novia Inés (Marta Etura), le ha conseguido un puesto importante en su empresa, pues quiere que se convierta en su sucesor. A sus veinticinco años, y sin haber tomado ninguna decisión, se siente atrapado, le gustaría decir no a este trabajo.

Es así como el jefe de la empresa decide realizar un paseo rural, donde su grupo de empleados podrá compartir algunos días.

El filme utiliza la excusa del viaje para abordar el tema de las relaciones laborales. Las interacciones sucedidas durante este tiempo permiten ver el perfil de cada uno de los empleados: desde el jefe al que no le tiembla la voz, el probable marido de su hija, el alto cargo que se defiende atacando, la joven calificada que sueña con dejar la empresa y hacer algo útil, quien además sufre de acoso sexual, en fin, todas los personajes “típicos” de una oficina.

Dentro de este contexto combinado con algunas “copas de más”, la historia logra traslucir lo mejor y peor de cada cual, permitiendo que todo integrante de este mundo empresarial, desde los puestos gerenciales hasta los de más bajo rango, se logren visualizar en un espejo y reconocer a la perfección sus roles.

En resumidas cuentas, este film trata temas de la empresa: esa gran familia donde se mezclan los celos, la envidia, el rencor, la venganza. Pero a pesar de todo, trabajando por un mismo objetivo.

“Casual Day”

April 30th, 2009

Alan Sepinwall posted a link on Twitter to a piece at NPR’s Monkey See Blog about The Office Season Five that I would tend to agree with. In the article, Linda Holmes makes the argument that on a character level this season has been one of the show’s strongest, especially for Michael. Considering that we started the season with Holly, and then eventually moved onto the Michael Scott Paper Company, this has been a big year for the show’s lead character, and a year that has almost never been defined by sheer comedy.

I don’t know if Holmes had seen tonight’s episode when she wrote the piece, but it’s a fine justification of her central thesis: it was almost as if the episode was Michael trying to fall into his former broad comedy and rather selfish attitude but the show around him demonstrating that it isn’t willing to let it happen. As the Michael Scott Paper Company and Dunder Mifflin merge together, tensions are certainly high, but letting the more laidback “Casual Friday” element of the storyline play out alongside the more legitimate tension of the reunion really made this half hour stand out.

I’m not quite sure if I’m in a position to call it the best season ever, but it’s certainly making a strong case for it with only two episodes left.

As soon as Michael comes back to the Office flanked by his Michael Scott Paper Company cohorts and jumping from a giant paper circle with a question mark on it, it is clear that this “New” Michael Scott is in many ways the old Michael Scott, desperate for attention and in this instance desperate for an apology from those who, unlike Pam, didn’t follow him on his crazy escapade. It’s classic Michael, which is something we haven’t seen a lot of all season, and it was played for some solid humour: Michael trying to bait everyone to apologize was not some grand gesture but rather a small character beat, and the way that Michael nonchalantly let Pam and Ryan keep the M.S.P.C. clients was consistently with the high value Michael places on loyalty.

But the season has been defined by a more nuanced Michael Scott, one who isn’t just valuing one thing at any particular time, rotating out as the series deems fit; instead, he’s been in conflict between love and loyalty to the company, or his employment and his personal pride. He’s often as his best in such situations: “The Deposition” was perhaps Season Four’s finest non-finale hour because it forced Michael to decide between his love for Jan’s chesticles and his trust in Dunder Mifflin, and that dynamic just works for the character. So when it was clear that Michael wasn’t taking everyone into account in this scenario, busy making “Memories” posters for the M.S.P.C., it seemed like a regression.

The episode, written by Anthony Q. Farrell and directed by Brent Forrester, dealt with this swiftly when, while being confronted by the rest of the sales team about losing all of their clients to Pam and Ryan, Michael manages to drive Phyllis to the point of tears. She throws his own words back in his face, and notes that in leaving them and pilfering their clients he was hurting what was supposed to be his family, and that if anything he is the one who owes them an apology on a personal level. It throws Michael for a loop, as he thinks up 100 perspectives in which this is really all his fault, and certainly none where it is the fault of the salespeople. No, Michael never quite pieces together the idea that these people couldn’t all abandon their jobs for his paper company that only avoided crashing and burning through the luck of the buyout’s timing, but he does realize that these people are his family, and that the M.S.P.C. was but a tangent in the big scheme of things.

It’s really well-played by Steve Carell, and while he still doesn’t want to give them their clients to avoid angering Ryan and Pam, and still doesn’t realize that the apology is still somewhat secondary, he is quite heartfelt in his apology in the secret warehouse fort. It’s hard to fault Michael for being the same character he’s always been, but the show is always strongest when they acknowledge that he is capable of being altered, and that more than one value can remain in his mind at a single time. Phyllis crying may have been a bit manipulative on the show’s part, but it totally threw me, and while Dwight’s craziness made for a good counter-point I really empathized with the sales team on this one.

In the end, Michael makes the tough decision to bump Ryan from the sales team and to leave Pam with the rest of the M.S.P.C. accounts which weren’t pilfered from Dunder Mifflin, which feels like the right move: as Holmes noted in her article, Pam’s involvement in M.S.P.C. made up for her earlier art school failure (referenced here in the charming scene between Michael and Jim which I’ll get to in a second) in giving her some purpose, and it would seem unfair to the poor girl if the rug had been pulled out from under her again. Ryan, meanwhile, remains an entertaining character to see fail, so who are we to complain.

I guess I’d call Jim the sort of wandering character this week, kind of part of the A-plot but also turning into his own sort of C-plot with Creed. His involvement in the A-Plot was great, especially the aforementioned scene with Michael where he notes his bias (jokingly, towards Ryan) and gets goaded by Michael into pointing out Pam’s shrill voice only so Michael can give an outright hilarious impression that was just ridiculous. The C-plot, meanwhile, was just an excuse to let Creed Bratton loose: who can argue with him wanting to set Jim up with his daughter while thinking he was gay, or being a veritable chess genius of sorts. It was a nice way to keep Jim from being caught in the middle of the A-story, and let the other characters take center stage.

The B-Plot was never substance-driven, as the eponymous event was mostly just a bunch of various gags, but I thought they were quite charming: Angela’s disgust over Oscar’s toes (“It’s like he just got off the boat”), everyone’s disgust at Meredith’s dress (“Meredith, your boob fell out!”), and eventually Toby feeling so put out over all of it that he cancels the day all together. I like that Michael never really got involved – he had enough on his plate in the episode, and letting it play out independent of him felt like the right choice.

As did the whole episode, really – just a really smart transition episode to bring things back to an equilibrium, and one which continues some of the key themes that have made the season so strong thus far.

Cultural Learnings

• Huge thanks to R.A. Porter for reminding me of my favourite joke in the episode: Michael, trying to choose between The Devil Wears Prada and Sophie’s Choice (the former which is already a great callback to the cold open where he takes on the persona of characters in movies he is watching), notes that “it is what you would call a classic difficult decision.” As someone who is known to throw around “Sophie’s Choice” (Head to Wikipedia to find out why this punchline is hilarious in case you didn’t get it) perhaps too often, I laughed a whole lot.
• Similarly humorous: Dwight using urine as invisible ink. Does that even work? Do I even want to know the answer to that question?
• We learned that Toby ended up in Scranton after exiting the Seminary to have sex with a girl who was from Scranton and who would eventually divorce him – sad Toby should be sad, but it’s almost always funny instead.
• I enjoy that Meredith, in seeing a crowd of people heading to the warehouse, presumed dog fight.
• Michael fake firing Pam at the end was funny, sure, but I loved his fake firing of Erin because of the sheer joy he got out of not taking Pam’s advice and the way that Erin took to the news: she was less concerned with whether Michael was serious (she’s gotten that memo), but was instead interesting in knowing if the people in the office really disliked her. She’s yet to really emerge as a character, but I thought that was a nice small moment.
• And for those who claim the show is TOO focused on character, I both disagree and send you in the direction of the hilarious cold open which essentially boils down to Kevin wallowing in a pool of Chili. Simple, but effective.
  

Hi pronsters! Today’s Outfit Pr0n is all about being casual. Whether it’s casual Friday at work, driving the kids to and fro, or spending time with friends on the weekend, being comfortable, casual and chic is all about choosing pieces that are machine washable, fit well, and don’t require much effort.

.

The cornerstone of any casual outfit a pair of nice jean!  I’m going to let you in on a little secret pr0n stars: I never pay full price for jeans anymore.  There is no reason why you should.  None.

Lucky Brand Madison Trouser Jean $70

Jeans are so ridiculously over-priced!  $1-200 for some nice denim?  No way!  As with all good things, patience and persistence is required, but the outcome is worth it.

Shopping online for jeans can be difficult, unless you’re familiar with the brand.  If you have a Marshalls or TJ Maxx or Loehmann’s or Filene’s Basement near you, they will have drastically reduced prices on the top name designer jeans.  Smaller sizes are easier to find; anything 30 and above (8-10) may take work.

I picked a pair of Madison Trouser Jeans from Lucky Brand.  A straight trouser leg will balance hips and thighs, and a dark rinse usually lighter weight cotton makes your jeans slightly dressier.

J. Crew Perfect Fit Long Sleeve T: $19.50

A long sleeve t-shirt will go miles in your closet.  This is the perfect fit long sleeve tee from J. Crew.  It’s $19.50; there are other styles with more detail for just a little more.

My one problem with J. Crew is their outrageous shipping prices.  They frequently send out free shipping codes for orders over a certain amount, so why not combine orders with your friends?

.

If you’re chasing the kids, layer it under a light sweater, like this v-neck perfect sweater from Martin & Osa.  Putting something under it will do

Martin + Osa Perfect V-Neck Sweater $49.50

.several things: add interest, add warmth, and weight/structure, and add options!  A few sweaters + a few t-shirts + some accessories = several different outfits.

.

For casual Friday at work, try it under a shorter jacket, like this adorable Piped Swing Jacket at Tulle.  I need to give a shout-out to TheFashionableHousewife, who featured Tulle in their very lovely blog.

Piped Swing Jacket at Tulle, $42.50

I love layering short over long.  It’s a way to play with proportion while still covering everything comfortably.

Or, do it the other way.  Wear the sweater to work, and the cute jacket with the kids.  Make the other moms jealous!

.

Don’t let me catch you in sneakers, my little pr0n plums.  You can do a flat as easy as you can do a pair of Keds; save the sneaks for the playground.

Ecco Boullion Ballerina, $83.77 at Endless.com

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that good shoes are an investment.

You only get one pair of feet, and they affect your ankles, knees, hips and back.  If you scrimp everywhere else, splurge here.

These are the Ecco flats I own in red patent leather.  I have fussy feet and these are possibly the most comfortable, supportive shoes I’ve ever had.

As soon as I get paid, I’m buying them in these greyish purpleish patent since they’re on sale.

.

.
You’re never fully dressed without a smile.  But beyond that without coat and a handbag.  This Kenneth Cole A-Line Topper is a great deal at $98.  Finish the entire outfit with Tano’s Found at Last shoulder bag.  It’s on sale at Luna Boston for $135 in red, green and black.  Limited quantities!

Kenneth Cole Reaction A-line Topper, $98 at Nordstrom

The Library is a polling place for Tuesday’s Presidential election.  I hope there will be a large turn-out and expect that the parking lot will be a busy place.  The gates to the ballfield parking lot will be open and I would appreciate all staff parking there to free up parking spaces for voters.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

And to reward you all for working, voting and parking in the ballfield lot–it will be a casual day!

“Casual Day” ha sido la película española con mayor recaudación por copia este fin de semana.

Ha sido vista por más de 45.000 espectadores en su estreno.

Con una recaudación total de 283.000€, Casual Day, la opera prima de Max Lemke, se ha convertido en la película española que más ha conseguido por copia: una media de 2.360€ en cada una de sus 120 pantallas. En el ranking general se ha situado en el cuarto puesto en recaudación por copia.

“Estamos muy satisfechos con la cifra, ya que este fin de semana también se han estrenado otras películas de gran tirón comercial, como “Algo pasa en Las Vegas” o “Speed racer“, -comentó Javier Vasallo, Director general de Buena Vista International, distribuidora de la película- “y “Casual Day” ha conseguido atraer a la audiencia gracias a su espléndido reparto y a su humor ácido“.

“Casual Day“, producida por Monfort Producciones y Telecinco Cinema, está protagonizada por Juan Diego, Javier Ríos, Luis Tosar, Estibaliz Gabilondo, Arturo Valls, Alberto San Juan, Malena Alterio, Alex Angulo, Carlos Kaniowsky, Secun de la Rosa y Marta Etura.

El ‘Casual Day‘ es una práctica empresarial importada de los Estados Unidos, en la que las empresas aprovechan un día para hacer un viaje al campo, y realizar distintas actividades que fomenten las relaciones personales, reduzcan el estrés y mejoren la actividad empresarial. En esta ocasión se pondrán de manifiesto las relaciones de poder que se establecen en el mundo empresarial a través de situaciones cómicas y también absurdas.

La crítica ha dicho de “Casual Day“:

“Excelente debut en salas de Max Lemcke” “escrita con precisión, sencillez y negrísimo sentido del humor” “interpretado por un magnífico grupo de cómicos” Javier Ocaña, El País

“Inconmensurable Juan Diego” “No cabe sino abandonarse al placer de la risa negra y la reflexión profunda” Federico Marís Bellón, ABC

“Un elenco de actores espléndido” “luminosos e inteligentes diálogos” Carmen Lobo, La Razón

“Interpretaciones sobresalientes” “Juan Diego vuelve a demostrar que es uno de los mejores actores españoles” “Arturo Valls borda su papel” Negocio

“Inconmensurable Juan Diego” “Comedia divertida y amarga, sin pedanterías ni salidas de tiesto” “un reparto sensacional” Carlos Marañón, Cinemanía

“Estimulante opera prima” “Lo mejor, el elenco. Todos sin excepción” Mirito Torreiro, Fotogramas

Días de lluvia que derraman agua y un puñado de estrenos más bien lastimosos. Poco que echarse a la boca y menos alegrar el paladar. Levantemos acta:

-Speed Racer: los peculiares hermanos Wachowski, Andy y Larry, Larry y Andy, se habían dedicado, en los últimos tiempos, a cargarse Matrix con dos secuelas infumables y producir la adaptación tirando a potable de V de Vendetta; ahora se abonan al campo del remake para zambullirse en un proyecto con el que seguramente se lo habrán pasado en grande pero huele a paranoia psicodélica de difícil trago; el abigarrado reparto mezcla a gente tan dispar como Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman y el “perdido” Matthew Fox.

-Algo pasa en Las Vegas: con la película de los Farrelli promete compartir sólo la presencia de Cameron Díaz y las dos primeras palabras; se la mire por donde se la mire, la pinta de bodrio no se la quita nadie; por encima, ni una pizca de originalidad.

-Ausente: dramilla bélico o, mejor, post-bélico que así, a priori, cuesta ubicar en cualquier segmento que no sea el de “ir a ver si apetece probar suerte”; Ryan Phillipe es la cara más conocida, lo cual, de por sí, debería ser bastante sintomático.

-Casual Day: pese al título es española; la excusa argumental, eso de los viernes “distendidos” que montan algunas empresas; en fin…

-La Osa Mayor menos dos: documental (también español) sobre un psiquiátrico.

The title of this blog, if read too fast, might cause some consternation.

Whilst it might then seem less problematic; on a second read, it probably isn’t.

In Australia, we have a jobs boom. It’s pretty tight for candidates right across the board in every state. Smart recruiters are having a great time. I certainly am!

What makes it  difficult is outdated management theory in both general management and HR.

One of the types of management thinking that is really at issue is outdated attitudes to flexibility. Technology offers so much freedom – and yet management can’t pass that on. However, that’s the subject of an article I’m penning, so let’s move on.

Social Intercourse: Oh yes! That’s what every workplace has that is unique. If you are addicted to The Bold and The Beautiful or Neighbours,you can find people in every workplace that share your tragic obsession. But if you’re addicted to the ebb and flow of friendships, the achievements and the highlights, the scandals and the office politics at work; then how can you leave?

Of course, it’s best to avoid the aforementioned scandals and office politics, and good employers add good stuff that is remarkable so that their staff share a common experience that is outside of the ordinary.

Psychologists say that shared experiences bond us. That’s why eating a meal with a client is a damn fine thing.

The best bonding experiences have been found to be dangerous situations, or wacky and absurd ones. Since tying your staff to the railway lines is likely to cause a stir in OH&S circles, why not try something wacky?

Institute the 15-minute weekend catchup – from 9am to 9:15 on Monday, staff may not do anything else but gather in the kitchen and talk about their weekends. Have a big clock that counts down and then emits a loud chime to send them all scurrying back.

Have a theme every casual day. I once convinced a new starter that on Fridays you could only dress in colours that occur in Liquorice Allsorts. (She turned up in black, pink and lime green!). Offer a prize for worst tie day (customer contact people may need to bring two).

Encourage staff to eat together by sponsoring themed lunches every fortnight. For a few bucks per head experience something different each time. For example, a Mexican meal (unless your office is in Mexico) or a build-your-own-sandwich buffet

There is a lot written about having fun at work. But as more places get switched on to this, companies can race to outbid each other in the ‘fun’ department. The trick is to get your people interacting.

Is it dangerous to office discipline to encourage office friendships? How can it be? Millions of companies have a “refer a friend” policy. so how can it be acceptable to be friends before you work together, and not form a friendship in the workplace? And office discipline is a bit of a myth – set clear boundaries on confidentiality and professionalism, but understand that staff talk, whether you like it or not.

I’m out to collect great examples of social interaction at work, and your comments will be a great start. My stats say 64 people read this blog – so two each gives me over a hundred!

Now that is is genuinely a once weekly-ish blog, and since the title is “Musings and Rants”, next time I’ll provide a full bore rant! Tune in then.

ARGUMENTO

José Antonio (Juan Diego) y Ruy (Javier Ríos) son los protagonistas. El primero sólo vive para trabajar y es el futuro suegro del segundo, novio de Inés (Marta Etura), además de jefe de la empresa en la que acaba de enchufar a Ruy.
