Or what about looking out the window from inside the office ?
I've been asking this for weeks and not finding a good answer. However, someone from the U of C was on TV today and finally answered it.

No. Looking at the sun during the eclipse is the same as looking at it any time. We normally wouldn't look directly at the sun on a regular day. The reason that the eclipse is dangerous is that people do look at the sun directly to see the eclipse. So doing your normal activities shouldn't be any different than a regular sunny day.
