Work is being more than usually annoying at the moment, so we have taken to fortifying ourselves with bracing thoughts for the day. So far, they have centered on 'occupations which would be worse'.
I was working on a brief the other day for TENA incontinence pads, so my thought for the day became, 'I do not have to analyse the wet patches inside 350 adult all in one briefs.'
My friend Philippa, it turned out, is relatively untutored in the spectrum of revolting jobs, so her thought for the day became, "I do not have to hack the fat off the insides of the sewers."
Bizarre as it sounds, it works. And obviously my new goal is to find the most disgusting jobs undertaken by humans and tell Philippa what they are while she's eating (for maximum effect). Who says I'm not effective in the work-place?
