Say goodbye to 2009, the Year of the Snuggie, and say howdy to the Decade of the Snuggie. It's time to update those employee handbooks, welcoming the ever-present blanket with sleeves into the company dress code.

@cortneeehjo is chilling at Starbucks in the Red Snuggie. This, my friends, is the Snuggie Barista taking a Snuggie break.

I'll have a Double Latte...with Sleeves.

The warehouse guys are back for another epic Snuggie in the Workplace Sighting. This time we have Vance, who has found there's nothing better to wear for precision work than the Snuggie. Snuggie Soldering.

Here's the accompanying note that came with this entry:
In this frozen tundra of Central Texas in May, there's only one way to repair board-level electronics without raising your heating bill. The Snuggie!! Shortly after this pic was taken, we turned off our lights, to further lower our heating bill...and we were guided only by our Complimentary Booklights. God bless the Snuggie.

Indeed. Happy Snuggie Friday to all, and to all a Snuggie Night!

Meet Ben. Ben has been known to lift heavy weights repeatedly. A side effect of this habit are tree trunks for arms. The man is a walking 'Gun Show' and has found that not only does traffic stop when he flexes, he also kills productivity in the office. Even the window cleaners on the outside of the building drop their squeegees any time Ben does something as innocent as scratch his head.

Ben longed to return to his pre-Gun Show days, where he could kick back at the desk and keep busy with a game of Solitaire or catch up on the latest issue of Muscle & Fitness. Ben decided to cover up with the Snuggie.

Ben's co-workers are now focusing on their work. Ben can now stay warm and cozy while he peruses the latest developments related to torn pectoral muscles, etc.

Life. Is. Good.

Thanks, Snuggie.

Today is Snuggie Friday, so keep your eyes out for Snuggie Sightings in the Workplace.

Sarah received a Snuggie for her birthday last month. She quickly found that if she wore the Snuggie, she could get away with anything. Consider this:

Sarah loves her Snuggie so much, she plays 'Walk Like an Egyptian' every hour, on the hour, and struts through the cube farm. The Snuggie livens up any workplace, and chases the chill from those pesky industrial grade air conditioner blasts.

I have personally sat through (suffered through) THOUSANDS of pointless meetings. You know what I'm talking about - you sit for two hours, waiting for the one minute of personal relevance. Well, check this out...Jason shows how it should be done in Corporate America.

Have you ever been in a meeting that was this alive and fun and filled with laughter? All you have to do to make your meetings more interesting and convert them into must attend events is to put on a Snuggie. You don't have to bribe your staff with food.

So not only does the Blanket with Sleeves help lower heating bills, it saves you money on catering costs. By wearing a Snuggie to meetings, the job you save may be your own, thanks to the savings to the bottom line (and the boost to staff morale).

Don't forget that Snuggie Friday is taking the place of Casual Friday at workplaces across the country. Here is Tina, wearing her blue Snuggie, showing her team pride for the Kentucky Wildcats.

Christina is at work in her Blue Snuggie.

Not only does she keep her can of Lysol strategically placed for those times that neighboring cube-dwellers go to the Bean Burrito Palace for lunch, she also obsesses over which Designer Snuggies to buy.

Decisions. Decisions.

Some time ago, during the last Snuggie Sighting extravaganza from the Warehouse Guys (aptly entitled 'OSHA Still Hearts the Snuggie in the Workplace'), I noticed a strange reference on a marker board in the background of one of their pics.

I had postulated that this obscure reference could have something to do with the TV Show 'Gossip Girl'. This discourse prompted Josh to write in to clear things up regarding 'Viva La Chair'. I now present to you...the Chair de la Viva.

Here is Josh's explanation on 'Viva La Chair'
"A while ago a nearby company threw out a motorized wheelchair. I took it upon myself to get it working. We used that thing all over the place. I put on some "spinners", added some bling and pimped it out. We called it the smile machine, since you couldn't ride it while frowning (similar to the Snuggie). Well, the powers that be told me that it finally had to go since it was 'disrupting work' (whatever that means), so in memory of the chair, we wrote "viva la chair".

So now you know...the rest of the story.

Kim used to enjoy whiling away her days playing Solitaire on her computer and Checkers on her purse. Not anymore! Now that the Snuggie has entered her life, she finds that she is much more productive. She now types like a gazillion words a minute (GWPM) as long as she gets her Snug on at work.

Emails now go answered, as do the phones. She wears her Snuggie proudly, giving that sideways look to anyone that dares snicker; as if to say, 'I'm wearing a Snuggie. Your sticks and stones can't penetrate this fleecey bad boy'.

Snuggie Snap, Kim.
