In honor of Back to Work, a Friday Favorites list about job stuff:
1. My favorite function in Photoshop: the magic eraser. I mean, come on. Even if I didn't know what it did I would love it, just for the name. And there are few things (at my work) quite so satisfying as clicking on annoying ugly spots on my figures and having them just...disappear.
2. Favorite thing about my work climate: they provide free hot chocolate. I mean, at my last work, we had to pay for coffee.
3. Favorite thing about my work location: (and this is remembering that actually I wish desperately that they would move so that I didn't have to drive for an hour every fricking day) I like being so very close to the hogback. It rises up less than a mile away, a flat wide slope of mountain mahogany and rock. I mean, there's an interstate between my work and it, so it's not like I can run over there on my lunch hour, but I can look.
4. Favorite thing about working (besides getting paid): being busy. I mean, sometimes I am too busy, and that sucks. But sometimes, much of the time, I am just the right amount of busy, and I like it. I'd hoped to replicate that during the year I had "off" by making my own concerns a job--but it just wasn't the same.

You had to PAY FOR COFFEE at your last job? That's insane! What a terrible thing to do to employee morale and productivity.
Yeah...it was a state institution. Benefits were fantastic, but every time I made a mistake with the company card was I afraid I'd end up on 9 News as an example of bureaucratic ineptitude that was costing the taxpayers millions.
