測試你的工作環境
工作差不多佔用了你一生三分之一的時間，所以工作開心是非常重要的。你的工作環境讓你快樂嗎?接下來，小編給大家準備了測試你的工作環境,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。
I just read a fascinating book, The Levity1 Effect, by Adrian Gostick and Scott Christopher. It’s about how “levity” can transform the workplace. They make a powerful case for why levity is an extremely effective tool for helping2 people to work better. 剛讀了一本引人入勝的書《The Levity Effect》(《“輕佻”效應》)，作者是Adrian Gostick和 Scott Christopher。這本書講述了“輕佻”是如何改變辦公場所的。兩位作者爲輕佻胡鬧在幫助人們更好的工作方面提出了強有力的支持。
Now, you might be thinking, as I did, “Levity would sure be tough for me, I’m not particularly funny, and I’m not particularly outgoing.” 現在，也許你和我一樣也認爲：“‘輕佻’對我而言肯定很難做到，我不是特別幽默的人，我也不是很外向。”
But what the authors mean by “levity” is really a sense of “lightness.”
但是，這裏作者對“輕佻”定義其實是一種心情“輕鬆”的感覺。
Ah, I thought, I’m trying! The Ninth of my Twelve Commandments is “Lighten up”. When I posted sticky notes with key phrases all around my office and apartment, the one I put in the master bathroom read, “Tender and light-hearted.”
Gostick and Christopher include a quiz about workplace levity. Looking at it, I realized that most of my workplaces included these elements, which I’m sure contributed to the positive experience I had everywhere (except for the summer I worked as a waitress at Dos Hombres Mexican restaurant -- zoikes, I did not like that job).
For example, I’d assumed that the atmosphere around the Supreme3 Court would be serious, thoughtful, and grand. And it was. But in her chambers4, Justice O’Connor incorporated certain goofy aspects that made it a lot of fun, too. Each Halloween, she required her clerks to decorate elaborate pumpkins5, and birthday celebrations were always a big deal, and she took the clerks on a yearly outing (we went fishing). And that sort of thing really made a difference.
How does your workplace measure up? Take Gostick and Christopher’s quiz:
相比之下你的辦公場所是怎樣的呢?請做一做作者們給出的小測驗吧：

It’s common to hear people laughing around here時常笑聲不斷

It occurs to me that this is a good list for home, too; I just need to substitute a few words. I’ve been working hard to be a more light-hearted parent and spouse7, and these are helpful points to keep in mind.
