I work in an office in a large building. Everybody in the office has a great sense of humor--which helps immeasurably.

I also find music makes everything better. I sing in the stairwell--never take the elevator. I sing walking to the subway every day-not loud, just to myself.   It's 4 long songs or 5 short songs to the subway. And I sing according to the weather. If the weather is good, I sing C & W.   Misty or raining--Irish or pub songs. Real blustery--sea songs. Unless I'm trying to memorize something--then I sing that. People are probably convinced I have a very small Bluetooth or something in my ear. When I sing "M'name's Napoleon Bonaparte, I'm the conqueror of all nations", everybody else crosses to the other side of the street. Can't figure out why.

And I sing sotto voce while walking down the corridor.   And after everybody else leaves for the day.

Admittedly I'm lucky in a lot of ways. Among other things, I've been able to convince my co-workers to have their radios tuned really low--we all keep our music to ourselves.

But they know I sing. They sometimes come to my group's concerts at the Kennedy Center. Also, among other things, a co-worker and I have written parodies for retirement parties, etc--to Gilbert and Sullivan, Beatles, folk, etc. It's really appreciated.

If you carry your own music--in your head--it really helps get through any day.
