Gotta keep busy

Do you ever see someone who has a boring repetitive job and wonder how they keep at it for their entire shift? Probably not – but I think about these sorts of things. The crossing guard at the end of my street answered my question of how she keeps herself coming back to the pollution-filled street day after day. Dodging traffic and keeping kids safe just doesn’t keep her stimulated through her shift. So she keeps a step, just like those used in step fitness classes, on the grass behind the sidewalk. In between tweeting her whistle and helping kids cross the street, she keeps herself busy (and fit) by doing a step workout. What a smart idea! She could inspire other mundane-job workers. Assembly-line workers could cha-cha beside the conveyer belt. Egg packers could juggle the eggs before putting them in the carton. Truck drivers could make audition tapes for Pop Idol while driving on the highway.
