Book, Work by TNH.

Memphis, TN Veteran
So work has been putting the squeeze on me....and I knew it. I went to the book store and saw this...It's a
short little read by Thich Nhat Hanh...called Work...... It refreshed my work mind.
http://www.amazon.com/Work-Find-Meaning-Each-Hour/dp/1937006204
Anyway...to make a long story short....I got a promotion! .. 
...
It's a short term appointment....but more money and doing Lead/Teaching positions.
Right now, that's more appealing to me than the tax collection side , hahahaha I know how to read
and interpret those codes on the modules, I 've been working in the same area for 12 years...
....so I networked, showed interest, and started jumping on
detail announcements....all that was me...not the book....lolololol, I start Monday and am super excited!!!!
It gets me out of where I was burned out...I get to keep my Tour of duty.....more money....and It's what I know!!
The book was great, I thought. Anyone here read it? What did you think?
He makes easy, doable changes for during/starting and being at work. The back has "30 ways to reduce stress"...
Try to eat away from your desk, quick meditations for before meetings, take the stairs....anyway....good stuff.
How to transition from the environments, etc.
I'm done the book....If you want me to pass it on to you...let me know.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will put it on my TBR list. ☺️
Thay's work is awesome _ /|\ _
Just reading Fear at the moment. Good book!
I bought and am reading this book.
Thanks @Vastmind for helping bring mindfulness into my working day!
Don't make yourself scarce on the site, though...
@DhammaDragon ....I'm trying not to ...hahaha...but it has been a little more harder the last couple of weeks. We're on tighter software/firewalls or something so...I can still get on the page during the day...but I can't sign in/log in to comment.
...... That has been a lesson all it's own...hahaha...I'll read conversations going on....but I know I can't say anything until I get home....By the time I get home...the thread is dead...or I have re-thought what I was going to say....for me being a talker....It's been a much needed lesson....... But I'm reading during breaks and lunch.....There's no way I could stand not knowing whats going on....lolololol...
The detail is up in March....but I'm playing my cards right.....so I should get the perm spot when it becomes available in June or July. I've got all the right people backing me ...so...we'll see....
Oh..I was on retreat with Hubby week before last....so that's why I was MIA for a little minute there......
@lobster ..... the pic you made back in the day.... went with me to the new cubicle.
