Coping With Job Stress . . .
Last week I went to a seminar called
Stress and Disease by Dr. Nickolas Hall,
an expert in psychobiology. 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. Change to very comfortable
clothing, such as a sweat suit 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."
