I Love My Job
No really, I do. Where else can you make this kind of money, actually do your job and still have time to blogg. I have time to do lots of stuff at work other people don't get to do. I can do jigsaw puzzles, knit, spin fiber, I've perfected felting - and not the dry needle kind the actually hot water and soap method. I have done major sewing projects - at least the fiddly handwork parts. I actually work better when I'm busy with something other than work. It diffuses the frustration of working with the public. I am then a happier worker and better at my job.

If I work in a cube farm (which I do ) that would make my desk the back 40 left fallow. I mean there is no one sitting near me for desks - except my boss. But that's ok- I do my job to the best of my abilities so I'm not intimidated. It does make for conversation when people and visiting dignitaries come to visit. I always get asked "why do you sit way back here by yourself?" I've come up with the definitive answer that makes the most sence is "The have me here because I am a trouble maker" that gets lots of nodds of acknowledgement and the ever thoughtful "Ah".

Some days I think of the cube farm as a big rat maze. Someday I'll find the cheese. For now I'm happy with taking calls and doing craft projects.
