Love your job: Why I love my job and you should love yours
I love my job. There you go. I’ve said it. I don’t care who knows it. This is my Tom-Cruise-on-Oprah moment. That was amazing. Of course we all know how THAT went, right? …sorry let me just take this call… “Hello…Yes….Yes…What?…They’ve WHAT?!?!?…When??!?!?…Oh….Oh, I see. OK Bye” Um. Anyway. Maybe ignore that last bit.
