It's strange but it seems that the harder I work the less I have to complain about. Could it be that personal productivity is directly linked to my sense of self worth. I continue to labor in a job that I do not care for. Despite my distaste for my profession I find that I feel better personally when I know that I have shown results. I'm sure there's some psychology major that could explain to me where on the blasted tree of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs that I am meeting this feeling of self worth. I just feel that it's a strange thing that even when you don't enjoy what your doing you can feel fullfilled by doing it. Could it be that I would have the same feelings if I found myself in jail or in a labor camp? Prison is a hard comparison to my cozy corner double wide cube with a 300 dollar chair but I wonder if that positive state of mind and being is what keeps an inmate from going crazy.
In an unrelated subject I stumbled upon a website that features quite amazing origami. Most of these sculptures come from a single sheet of paper. Origami would diffinetly be a cool thing to learn but completely impractical. Not many times in my life have I had the urge to impress the room by busting out a beetle made from a napkin, but if i had the ability at my disposal I suppose the opportunitys are endless. Lets just file it under useless skills that I would like to learn.
