市长给员工购置'打盹椅'

Campbell Newman, mayor of Brisbane, Australia, approved the bill of "napping chairs" for his drivers as they have to work 12 hours each time, local media reported Wednesday. The chairs were said to be made "based on NASA technology." Some people say the chair should be available to any staff in the mayor's office, but suggest naps should not be longer than 20 minutes.(See photo)

据澳大利亚媒体4日报道，因其司机每次当班时间长达12小时，布里斯班市长坎贝尔·纽曼近日特别批款，为他们添置"打盹椅"。据悉，这种椅子是基于美国宇航局技术制造。有人认为，所有在市长办公室中工作的员工都应该享受这种待遇，但打盹时间不能超过20分钟。(见图)
