Here is a top ten list of things that are great about my new job

Stinkhorn mushroom (do not touch or your hands will smell like dung all day)



This is instead of dwelling on the negative . . . which includes sitting all day.




1. I constantly feel young, as my boss is 78.



2. I feel slim and fit, in a relative way. (I know comparison isn't helpful but it's only natural.)



3. I feel better about my deteriorating eyesight - because it's not that bad.



4. I have three doors in my office, so if there is ever a fire, I am sure to get out.



5. Someone knows where I am at all times, so I am very secure in this federal facility.



6. I feel pretty good about my deteriorating handwriting, too.



7. I am getting good at sitting in a chair all day, doing very little. Perhaps this will get me ready for retirement.



8. This job of being a well-paid typist makes me realize how capable I am. How I long to manage projects and how I like regular human interaction.



9. If boredome is a good thing, I should be very happy.



10. $$$. As the women at PD's Pizza in Peace Dale so eloquently explained when discussing what they liked about their jobs. That just about sums it up. That and the fact that I discovered on Google what that gorgeous, stinky lilly-looking ground growth that I found on my walk with Toto was - a stinkhorn mushroom. I felt like an early explorer, really.

Coping mechanisms for office/cubicle dwellers. It's a long day and we could all use some strategies for coping.
