A Puzzlement



In morning drive radio, not only do you condense eight hours of work into your four-hour shift, but after your shift, you've got four more hours of work to complete.

To avoid crashing and burning, you've got to take lots of breaks. So often, though, you default to surfing the Internet. That can numb your mind and your wrists.

Here's my old-fashioned, energy-efficient way of taking a break without compromising your carpal tunnels: Take a Jigsaw Puzzle to Work.

Find a vacant desk or table with plenty of light. Dump a jigsaw puzzle on the table. Voila! Instant focus.

How co-workers attack and solve a puzzle reveals a lot. Some people work on the edges first. Some match up colors and shapes.

WCLV's president, Robert Conrad, took this photo of your slacker morning announcer taking a break after a recent morning drive shift. The puzzle is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh painting reduced to 1,000 infuriatingly tiny puzzle pieces.
