Cat naps and Vitamin B: Midwinter survival
Everyone has their midwinter survival tips. Some inconveniences you can do nothing about. In my case my skin flakes off and my jaw freezes with my brain - so my midwinter annunciation is crap and a few extra words sneak into my normally good communications skills.
I recently had someone thinking I was asking if they read "The Rank" Magazine, which they'd never heard of - actually called "The Rake."
The photo above is a typical exaggeration: TCF Bank likes to flatter the Twin Cities we're tougher than we are: The actual temperature at 10:30AM, 30 JAN 2008? - 12 Farenheit.
Aside from Almond Oil - the knowledge of which is a gift from an old dear friend back in NYC - here are my two:
Catnaps:
15 minutes around noon or 1PM after lunch is essential to forgetting you were ever working and waking up feeling refreshed and ready to not deal with what you weren't dealing with before.
This kind of personal replenishing is naturally opposite of the mechanization demanded of corporate work. Acknowledging humans work according to their own schedule? Only Best Buy corporate seems on board with the notion that the less you force, the better the results. EU Corporate Culture is actually on the attack these days: The EU wants to skewer the beloved Spanish siesta.
This kind of thinking is so twentieth century, right up there with presumed multinational corporate relevance and monoculture. Thinking about my honey locked up in a cube with no option to snooze just makes me unhappy, and makes our life less quality.
Catnaps are the key to productivity, along with 25 hour, 4 day work weeks.
Vitamin B-complex:
It may make your piss bright yellow and gives your mind a boost at night causing 'b-mares' as they have been called out here, but when it comes to that moment when you need to get up and do something - conjure core strength and find some kind of initiative, get up from that catnap and strategize yourself vis a vis the obtuse world of corporate America - there is nothing quite like Vitamin B. Just get the one that has lots of kinds of Vitamin B's and eat it whenever you think to.
Drinking lots of water is key, too.
The Director of Marketing at the Holmes Agency is selling some serious radiators today - range of motion whilst it never hits -10 outside: Box next to radiator, rug next to radiator, walk to food. Sleep.
