My friend Kevin had a great idea for a new product today. Make a recording of general office background noise, and sell it to lonely work-at-home freelancers. Charge a little extra to include a personalized page over the intercom:
‘Adam Blust, please come to the front desk. Adam Blust to the front desk.’
And to make it really realistic you could add faux office politics, nasty gossip (true and false), micromanagement and pointy-haired bosses. You could gauge your success by how stressed and hopeless you felt at the end of your day “at the office.” (Sorry, I must be having a bad day at the office.)
