I'm wondering what a "shower clause" would be in a contract and hoping it's not a Silkwood reference.

No. It's the clause that is common in tech contracts, where any idea that you come up with, "in the shower," belongs to the company.

It prevents things like moonlighting, or doing charity work.

I worked for a company that employed a lot of top-notch photographers, and there's no way that they would have agreed to anything like that.

oh yeah, the 'no intellectually rewarding hobbies' clause ... that has always seemed counterproductive and short-sighted from my perspective
