Working Pleasantly
Many employers’ efforts to inject fun into the workplace are weak;Serve birthday cake? Allow workers to throw Frisbees? Keep the break room fridge stocked with soda? While the following ideas may not turn your workplace into a barrel of laughs, they’re more likely than the company picnic to make your work more pleasant.
Propose a special project. For examples: Love to travel? Propose doing a feasibility study on opening a branch in Hawaii. Love to talk with people? Offer to create a collection of how-to-succeed-at-work tips and tricks derived from interviewing employees in the company and maybe even at your competitors.
Exchange your job. Do you like some aspects of your job and hate others? See if you can trade tasks with a co-worker. Your drudgery might be another’s relaxation;your weakness, another’s strength. For example, I know a lawyer who loved holding forth in a courtroom but couldn’t stand the detailed research work. He found another lawyer in the firm who felt the opposite, whereupon they agreed that, where possible, they’d trade work.
Make your workspace feel more like home. Want to put an oriental’rug under your desk? Your favorite small painting on your cube wall? All accompanied by your favorite soft music? And to make your workplace even more like home?
Use at-your-desk stress busters. Just a minute of slow, deep breaths, or tightening and loosening sets of muscles from neck to feet can reenergize you. Or try a five-minute at-your-desk yoga session.
Make a close friend. Find someone—ideally your boss—with whom you can become close. That can take the edge off work stresses. Ask your potential bud out to lunch and talk about things more intimate than the ballgame score—everyone has important hopes, dreams, and fears. Unearth those and share your own, and you’re halfway to developing the sort of intimate relationship that can soften the edges of even the hardest workplace.
Does work still suck? Maybe it’s time to look for a better job?
The phrase "take the edge off in paragraph 6 means______.( )
选项
A、making it become round
B、making close friends
C、reducing
D、sucking

take the edge off为固定搭配,意为“使减弱”。
