The Dreaded Work Week

Why do we complain about work when we know that we would get absolutely bored with inactivity if we didn't have an occupation? Usually it's the conditions that we perform our work under that cause us to drag our feet to our desks, our buckets of water, our cash registers, our doggy leashes, or our mops.

Yet we will all try what we can to make the day a little more bearable. For me it's following in the footsteps of the 7 dwarves and to whistle while you work. Though I'm not a great whistler-I do sing along. The day goes by with music. Breaks the silence and keeps me from talking to myself.

Other workday beliefs I play into is the use of the post-it note. I will stick these all over my desk, all over pages in books or folders. It's so satisfying to be able to pull one off and crumple it up, toss it in the trash. A feeling of accomplishment.

Then there are the water breaks. The frequency of these depends on numerous factors but it's such a nice feeling to get up from the chair I've been melting into for hours just to put one foot in front of the other. Soon I plan on doing a morning and afternoon 15 minute break to utilize the non-yoga-"yoga ball". Maybe wishful thinking but my abs will tell the truth in a month or two.

Just a heads-up, on this day in 1952 a legend was born. One to be mocked, awed, oggled, and mocked some more. Our very own Bay Watch buff- David "The Hoffinator" Hasselhoff .

And appropriately today's songs are songs that topped the charts this day in 1982 and 1966.
