Hat tip to rq for this one.
President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the latest ‘all-Belarusian peoples gathering’ in June: “You know what to do, how to do it, and what goals to achieve. Everything is simple. Innovations, IT technology, privatizations, etc. – it’s all clear, we’ve done it.
“But all our life is in simple things: we should get [undressed] and work”.
In all probability, the president meant “Develop and work,” as the words sound very similar, ‘razviVAtsa’ and ‘razDEvatsa’, but who cares now?
This somewhat confusing comment led to the Belorussian equivalent of the hashtag #getnakedandgotowork trending in the country, and people did just that.
Most comments went along the lines: “The leader says, we should.” We must say the Belorussian people do look good!
I wouldn’t mind trading in stuffy office wear for confident nudity. I would have a blast.
I enjoy the fact that it’s a good mix of all kinds of people, and they all seem to be having fun with it. “Obey your leader”, hey why not? :D

That would work for me. I work naked a lot anyway, as much of what I do gets very messy. Why bring clothes into the mess?
The rats are that hard to stuff into bird puppets?
Mmmm, not sure how that would work for me, no pockets on a birthday suit. Also welding spatter, UV burns etc. Then there’s arse crack sticking to the furniture, bad memories of my try at naked bike riding.

My logic exactly on planting and replanting herbs. I do it naked in the bathroom, so in the end I just move the pots and the other stuff out of the bathroom, vacuum away the dry dirt and gravel, remove masking tape from the floor drain and take a shower.

That works, less mess all around! It’s much easier to wash paint off my skin than it is to get it out of clothes (never works), and it’s way better than all of a sudden realizing “oh hell, these are good jeans” when looking at a big swipe of paint on them.
I’m pretty sure my coworkers don’t wanna see me naked!! :p
Also, being naked at work really wouldn’t be practical when I’m at the office (when I work from home, who cares?!?). Paint is one thing, but there’s toxic shit, and dangerous bits of metal all over the place…..
