Meditations of a Mediocre Mind

And you thought you had it bad

You may have already seen this and if so well then, I apologize. But hey a least your not having to pay for it. I checked this story out and it is true or at least it was true. Calle has since moved on to the great Pachyderm Paradise in the sky.

Have you been complaining how difficult things are? Think your life's a pit?

The San Francisco Zoo has an elephant called Calle who has a chronic illness requiring medication. The zoo people couldn't get Calle to take her dose orally, so a California pharmacologist developed a suppository. The 10-inch-long, four-pound, cocoa-butter bullets are crafted by the good folks at Guittard Chocolates in Burlingame.

Administering the daily medication takes five zoo workers, including one person to distract Calle with treats and one person who wears a full-arm glove.

Why am I telling you this?

Whenever you're prone to complain about your job, your life, just think: FIVE people out there have jobs worse than yours!
