Stargazer, you have your own monitor where you work? After a vacation, I change my monitor picture to one from the vacation I got just back from.
Since I have two monitors, one I work at and the other I can look at a fun time. When work is boring or I have a tough day, as I look at the picture, I remind myself that this job paid for that vacation! And it's going to pay for the next one--which is usually scheduled. I just always have a trip booked.
Up at 0422. Great day so far!
Chloe, being alone doesn't have to be lonely. Let us know how you're doing.
