Last Week's results

Ha, ha! I find the results of the June 24 poll very telling!

The lowest number of votes indicated that very few people believe they are intellectually challenged at work. One could conceivably conclude that of the poll options, most people who responded experience little if any learning, creativity, exercise or laughing at work.

When I think about the jobs I have had in my life, a number of them were kind of mindless, thinkless events. Wouldn't it be interesting to have a study to see what kinds of jobs the folks who get Alzheimer's have had? Maybe we could really help people by spicing up the mental challenges at work, or at least providing mind games and problem solving exercises that people can play throughout the day. Wouldn't life be more interesting???

Maybe you would have to answer a Bible trivia question to get into the grocery store. Or how about going through a maze to get to your car. How about having to put together a small puzzle to start your car—that might eliminate drunk driving! Perhaps you are thinking I belong in the funny farm, but just think about it. At least you will be thinking!
