Thought this would be a fun followup to my other post. Especially those in finance or accounting, do you so anything special to make the workday enjoyable? Anything goes, from zoning out to getting lost in your work, wearing rebelliously pink socks, having a favorite picture above your desk, etc.

More practical things are welcome too, like how to eat while working, ways to get a little exercise without leaving your desk, etc.

Since i'm able to smoke cigars while at my desk I do not share that problem. A friend of mine confided however that the highlight of his day can be some wireless internetting while taking a 30 minute crap

This thread is off to a good start.

For me, the key is protein -- a lot for breakfast and a lot for lunch. And coffee or green tea all day long.

You also have to be comfortable in your work space, and you have to pace yourself if you are going to work many consecutive long days as part of your regular routine.

It would be helpful if you actually liked your job.

Masturbation in the men's room. The odor won't bother you if you breathe through your mouth and close your eyes.

Of course, you must still maintain hygiene and vigilance.

Is that how you clean-up after a long shift and back-to-back jobs?

I do my number 2's at work all the time. It's easier for me since I work in an office setting. I obviously wouldn't go if the toilet were extremely dirty.

I do too and the bathrooms are clean, but I still don't like going in public and only go in emergencies. I absolutely hate when people walk in and can see my shoes under the stall and start talking to me. I just want to be left the **** alone when I'm on the can.

Btw, if the toilet seat looks clean to you, do you still layer it with toilet paper? I double that **** up no matter what.

Or you could just do what I do, which is go to the ladies.
