All the excitement from yesterday’s cubicle-bang session story got us to thinking about what it would take (aside from copious amounts of alcohol) to actually get laid in the office. Could there be anything better than finally cutting the sexual tension that’s been building between you and Sally in accounting? Hell no! So why isn’t it happening? Here’s our best guesses.

10. You’re afraid to do anything that would potentially jeopardize your job, and messing around with Sally from accounting (regardless of where it happens) could come back to bite you in the ass &#151 even though you wish she was biting your ass, right now.

9. Sally has already slept with Dave from the creative department; Jim from production and made out with Erin from public relations at last year’s Holiday party.

8. You’re worried she may not be attracted to your purple, gold and white zubaz. You’re right, she’s not &#151 stop dressing like Howard Stern and iron a shirt man.

New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media

Malcolm Gladwell’s books, The Tipping Point and Blink, have sold more than three million copies combined in North America alone.

Last week his new book, Outliers, was released. It looks at what factors lead to making a person successful in the workplace.

According to the Globe and Mail, the book “thoroughly demolishes the myth of the self-made man or woman.”

Gladwell says, “there was a kind of existing narrative of success. … It’s had so many mythical expressions – Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Carnegie and Horatio Alger – and in the 19th century it took hold so strongly. I feel like it’s become part of the architecture of American society. We haven’t taken a step back and challenged it, which I was trying to do.”

Gladwell argues that success at work comes from a combination of factors like hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities. He also says you need 10,000 hours, or about 10 years of practice, to become a world-class expert in virtually anything. He adds that expertise comes from “deliberate practice in environments where there’s feedback, where there’s a chance to really learn from mistakes.”

I haven’t read the book yet, but the 10,000 hours point seems to support, not tear down, the self-made man concept. Perhaps, he’s merely saying hard work and innate ability on their own are far from enough to guarantee success. One also needs connections, perseverance, focus, street smarts and luck (and it helps to be born early in the year, according to Gladwell).

Twitter’s the micoblogging/messaging service that keeps on giving. New creative uses for the service are being unleashed almost daily.

Here’s today’s entry: TweetsGiving.org, a Twitter celebration of gratitude and giving powered by Epic Change.

TweetsGiving hopes to demonstrate the power of the social web by raising $10,000 in 48 hours to build a classroom in Tanzania.

Pretty dope, if you ask me.

On the not so dope front, there’s a new service called Magpie that autopopulates one’s Twitter feed with paid announcements.

Sitepoint, for one, says it could make $3500 per month from Magpie if it opted to expose its group of 13,000+ followers on Twitter to ads.
