Summary
- Tribal Huts (cubicles) require a
enlightened sense of
tribal tasking etiquette.
- Combat physical sleep-sleep with simple
Neanderthal exercises. If mud rolling is not available, you may
consider using mud balls, or a similar primitive object to squeeze
for relief to your hands.
- Decorating your tribal hut makes working there easier.
Consider use of feathers, flower leis, pots, bows, arrows, spears,
or other decorations usual to a fine tribal home.
- For many otherwise happy tribal
toilers, the task hut (cubicle) is the bane of primitive tribal work life.
Although these huts (cubicles) give the illusion of privacy, the little walls are easily penetrated by
nearby
tribal hut neighbors' raucous sounds and chatter. Not only is a lack of
tribal hut
etiquette a problem, but spending most of your task day sitting can make you feel like your muscles have seeped into your ergonomic
chair, like the errant muskrat, who wandered into the village marsh
and never returned.
Tribal Hut (cube) Etiquette
Tribal indigenous types, who have existed in in these little huts, have
chiseled in stone, that they resemble
small corrals or pens for chickens, young pigs, or other
livestock. The petroglyphs record while attempting to perform
tribal tasks, they found how difficult it is to work while trying to block out
the sound of chattering. Therefore, if you can hear your nearest (and
sometimes not so nearest) tribal hut neighbor. . .then he can hear
you!. . . Domestic tiffs, weird bodily functions, etc.
Some
tribal hut dwellers, have been reduced to poking little juju berries in
their ears to drown out unhappy sounds while performing tasks for their
tribal community. Even then, a fellow native's voice can cut
through the little berries, like the squawking kookaburra (also
known as a Laughing Jackass).
These tribal complaints occur often, says Emilii Pohst, Elder of Tribal Etiquette International,
who specializes in friendly relations for tribal enterprise villages. In a
task hut (cube) environment, friendly manners & tribal customs must be elevated to a higher standard than
a traditional place of tasking, because of tribal toilers' close
proximity to one another. Think about these ideas for making your task hut friendly:
- Give other hut dwellers a sense of control over their
hut. Before
beginning chatter, knock on hut walls, even if this is only
symbolic/imaginary, foam, or some other unidentifiable material emanating
from the tribal forge. Ask to enter the hut, instead of
unexpectedly leaping in.
- Don't loiter or hang loose.
Your chattering does free-float among the indigenous folks in your
village (like a wafting thunder cloud during a monsoon).
This often disturbs tribal members who are trying to make chatter
with the little talking horn, read
ancient hieroglyphics or chisel a few of their
own. Others may simply be meditating on important tasks
or enterprise for the good of the collective village.
- Realize that odors know no boundaries.
Your lunch, although yummy to you, may make someone else's stomach
do jump jump. If you munch in your hut, take peels, left over fish, out
and bury it at the village swamp promptly. . .and clean your
own cauldron!
- It is also important to your
longevity to keep the memory that the Cauldron Area (lunch room and
coffee service areas), are a collective responsibility. Each
tribal person needs to fathom that if they make a mess in these
areas, it is their responsibility to clean it up, and fend for
themselves in this regard. The tribal people nearest these
cauldrons (The Admins), are not your mother, or the captured slaves
from an overpowered foe. . .no matter what you asked the gods for in
that last ritual!
- Be instinctively
"knowing" of what you are chattering, and how noisy you are saying it.
Know all tribal folks within a four-hut gathering can hear you. If you need to
chatter about sensitive matters secretly, try to find an
uninhabited communal meeting hut or quiet area near the stump of a
tree, or on the other side of the meadow.
Hut Atrophy
Indigenous pain among task hut dwellers, is from the feeling they are getting
"task hut body." What kind of effect does long-term squatting/sitting/tapping
on the stone with many little bumps have on you?
Morgutu, a recognized tribal shaman, healing person and body rubber, says
tribal peoples have awareness of these physical repercussions:
- Low back pain coming from bad
sitting/squatting position while performing tribal tasks, from the time the sun comes over the top
of the banyan tree, until it leaves for sleeping beyond the horizon of
the distant village hill.
- Hurt in upper back from scrunching
neck and shoulder together while chattering with other distant
tribal indigenous folks on the little talking horn.
- Shortened chest muscles from leaning into
task mantle to
chisel messages on stone, or stroking the stone with the little
bumps. And it has been found, short chest muscles are not good
for tribal sports that require jumping and throwing of balls into
village hoops...or the swatting of balls with the tribal tree
branch.
- Sluggish movement of blood in legs from
not walking about.
With good fortune, finding
harmony with these problems can be accomplished. Morgutu recommends the following
traditions for good juju:
- Get up and walk, every time
the sun leaps from leaf to leaf on the Ojihia Tree (half hour). This
keeps blood from moving slow like the village slugs. And too, gives
your visions a rest away from your task pool and lets your whole body move.
- Stretch your arms back over your head and arch your body into a
boomerang ("C"). This helps reverse any hunched-over posture
you may be evolving.
- Stand up and roll back and forth on your heels and toes. This stretches leg muscles that
scrunch from too much sitting or squatting.
Find a large tree (or doorway) and place your forearms against the
trunk. Lean into the tree to stretch your pec muscles. Don't stay
this way too long though, or you might feel big pain, like when you got
caught accidentally in the tiger trap, and where unexpectedly slung up
to the top of the tree by both arms.
Make sure you have a happy chair with good places for your arms, that can
go up and down to get the right fit (ergonomic if the tribe agrees to
give it to you), and your tasking mantle (desk) should be placed at
happy height for you.
Tribal Hut Bliss
Even if your tribal hut neighbors are a bunch of pesky Neanderthals and your
head honcho chief thinks happy seats (ergonomic chairs) are for village
wimps, nirvana is still possible. A tribal talkabout (communications) administrator and
tribal visitor of a distant village, for many passings of the moon, says
true happiness requires a "bloom where you're planted" philosophy.
This Talkabout (communications) Administrator keeps a few framed ancient
and present icons on their tasking mantel of tribal pals and tribal
family members, as well as favorite distant villages that have been
visited. Other tribal folks, have brought the twigs from forests,
plants from marshes, and blossoms from meadows, to their huts in baskets or crockery, that can no longer be used
for storage or cooking. One tribal member even has a small
exotic-type rug to place at the entrance of their hut, to make things
appear more friendly. If you have to live in a tasking hut from
the time the sun comes over the top
of the banyan tree, until it leaves for sleeping beyond the horizon of
the distant village hill, you may as well make it a happy hut.
