week 16 of the Cafeteria football contest was Matt Johnson, Transmission &
Distribution, with

For Your Benefit
Even
major sources of job stress are manageable
WebMD notes that major job stress can come from having too much
work, not having enough work, doing work that is unfulfilling, fearing a job
layoff or not getting along with your boss. Usually it is the major sources
of stress that lead to burnout, causing people to become unhappy and less
productive in their work. High levels of job stress can even contribute to
chronic disease. You can decrease job stress by meeting with your supervisor
at least once a year (every three or six months is better), managing your
time well, unplugging from technology occasionally and knowing when to
quit — it could
be time to think about changing jobs.

Free: 2 adorable black cats. Brother and sister, approximately 20 months
old, neutered and spayed. They have been indoor cats and are good with
kids, dogs and other cats. They are very loving and active cats, but
their owner cannot take care of them anymore. They must be adopted
together because they are very bonded. Please help me find a new home
for these wonderful kitties!
