Nicer People--I Wish
- My job could be made much better if I had nicer people to work with. I don't have anyone who's especially mean, but there's no sense of friendship there either. Maybe if we started doing that 'team building' stuff that some offices do. Maybe I'll try to start something.

Fridays Off
- I know several people who have Fridays off now, and work longer hours during the other four days. I would love that--a four-day work week. I could really appreciate an extra day to relax--that would be my 'fantasy change'.

Amateur Shrink
- I used to work as a barista. The job could be boring and repetitive, but I chose to make it fun. I treated every customer like a friend, and I became a great listener. I heard interesting stories about people's lives, and the tips I got were greatly increased on days when I did this. (On days when I didn't make a special effort, time seemed to drag and tips sucked.) I try to treat every job like that now.
