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