on the news yesterday there was a blip about job satisfaction. While my Finnish still isn't very good, what I thought I heard was that there was a survey conducted amongst workers here in Finland, and the job which rated highest and offered the most job satisfaction was working with cows. I can dig that, cows are generally very sweet and they don't hassle anybody. If anything, I bet working around them would reduce stress rather than increase it. But what was most interesting was the film clip that accompanied the piece where they showed some pictures of cows. My, I never knew cows had such long tongues. I was absolutely mesmerized watching them twist those things around. It was amazing.

LOL

that reminds me of studs terkel's book 'working' in which he interviews workers in all walks of life, and the happiest was a stone carver.

sure makes a bit of a joke of our education system, huh!
unless happiness is just another externality...

The power of knowledge is in mortal combat with the knowledge of power. It really is that simple... That's the Edenic apple we are all munching on.
