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 bed side 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."
