Be Glad
Last week a friend went to a seminar. He gave an example of a coping skill
for job stress which I would like to share with you. When you have had one
of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try this. On your way home after
work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section where they have
thermometers. You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by
*Q-Tip. Be very sure that you get this brand. When you get home, lock your
doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be
disturbed during your therapy. Get naked and lie down on your bed. Open the
package containing the thermometer and remove the thermometer and carefully
place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Take the written material that accompanies the thermometer and as you read
it you will notice in small print the statement that "every rectal
thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested."
Now close your eyes and say out loud five times, "I am so glad that I do
not
work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company."
