Confessing some things to each other requires a very close relationship of trust – even in the editorial office of your favorite newspaper. In order to convince colleagues to reveal their secret yoga sessions, meditation exercises and other spiritualistic rituals for the home story, they need absolute assurance that this information will be treated with the utmost discretion.
But there isn’t that much scandalous stuff to report. For one colleague, cigarettes and beer are enough to relax. Another colleague, who is actually strictly anti-spiritual, also has smoke flying through the air, but not from a cigarette, but from Far Eastern incense sticks, which are definitely preferable to the local incense cones.
A colleague takes cod liver oil in the winter “for the vitamin D” – even though he knows it doesn’t help. “That’s the superstition I indulge in.”
While many people immediately grimace when they just hear the word “yoga,” one colleague is downright proud that she is registered in a super-chic studio in Prenzlauer Berg, not far from our new editorial offices: “In the company of all of them almond moms I feel totally edgy.” Another colleague, however, is a little ashamed of her daily 40-minute yoga session – but she doesn’t join in with any namaste talk either.
Otherwise, the employees treat themselves Jungle World just one or two doses of vitamins, even if they know that they actually have next to no effect. A colleague, for example, takes cod liver oil in the winter “for the vitamin D” – even though he knows it doesn’t help. “That’s the superstition I indulge in.”
However, a little relaxation is sorely needed these days, not only because we know what is currently happening in Israel, but also because we have heard the reactions to it. What one or, to be honest, every other left-wing German newspaper publishes in response to the fight once morest Hamas is still harder to swallow than the most disgusting cod liver oil.
