DH.com received an email asking our opinion regarding a certain post on Facebook. Here's the copy of it.

When you have an absolute "I hate my job" day... then try this out:

Stop at your (favorite) pharmacy, go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson and Johnson. Be very sure to get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Then, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins.
Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

"Every rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized."

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.

Skeptics would definitely question the validity of this post. For us, it sounds like an urban legend and since I can not find a strong proof to back up this viral news in social media, I would just talk about the good side of this post. Stop thinking of the thermometer being inserted into someone else's rectum, okay?

Don't worry guys, I won't overanalyze this unverified claim circulating online stating that Johnson & Johnson has this "special thermometer quality control specialists", who personally did the thermometer test. By the way, if you think that I am taking too much of your time, you are free to leave at any point. I am not here to convince you or what not.

Okay, the subject here is not simply the rectal thermometer. It's Johnson and Johnson as well. Considering the size of this international company, would you believe that the executives hired hundreds or thousands of quality specialists to "personally" test those manufactured rectal thermometer one by one? Uh ah! That's a waste of time and money for the company. Aside from not being cost efficient, individual body temperatures of humans vary from each other. The calibration can't be done that way too, if you would consider the volume of rectal thermometers being produced by the company on a daily basis. So, what's really the message behind this story?

Love your job! -- Don't ask me to elaborate my conclusion but instead try this out:

During your breaktime at the office, eat at your favorite fast food chain. On your way to that store, try to list 5 jobs you notice around you. Do the same thing when you're on your way home.

You should have 10 jobs listed. The 11th job on the list is your own job.

Then, close your eyes and say this out loud 10 times, "I LOVE MY JOB!"

If you can't still get it, then you simply hate your job and nothing else.
