stressful times:

August issue of "Self:"

"On-the-Job Joy" -- The next time you experience an I-hate-my-boss moment, distract yourself by reciting a sanity-saving mantra from the book of "The Office Sutras" (Red Wheel), out this month. It's Zen for the 21st century -- without the chanting. Our favorite: "I'm working harder than I think. I'm accomplishing more than I know. And right now, I'm going to give myself points for just showing up."

An article in the Sept. issue is titled, "A New Prescription for Happiness," which is a "mind-bending report on the latest drug-free blues fighters." Haven't read that yet, but sounds intriguing.

Oooooo...I like that! Thanks Rhonda. It's going to be printed out and tacked up in my cube. I might have it tattooed on my arm or something.

You could change it to: "I'm doing more my share and part of yours, I'm accomplishing more than I should have to, and right now I'm giving myself points just for not slugging you!"

That should be "more than my share."

I don't understand your point. It was meant as a joke. See the wink icon.
