Occupational Therapy 

A profession that involves using occupations for bettering health. Occupations are considered anything that someone likes to do or has to do, ranging from hobbies to self-care. It is believed that doing things, increasing one's independence and sense of self-worth, promotes health and will help people rehabilitating from a disease or illness, as well as those living with chronic medical conditions. Becoming an Occupational Therapist in the United States recently moved to an entry-level master's degree.

Occupational Slumming 

Taking a job that is beneath a person's education or skill level as a means of retreat from adult responsibilities and/or avoiding possible failure in one's true occupation.

Although he was trained to be an architect, Hank took a job at Burger King instead because he didn't believe he'd be able to design a building that anyone would be interested in financing. His parents were disappointed by Hank's obvious occupational slumming.

Occupational Nihilism 

To stop caring about your job so much that you no longer care if you get fired or not. Occasionally leads to hilarity in the workplace.

Billy had so much Occupational Nihilism that, for no reason, he didn't go into work one day. He did not tell anyone at the workplace that he wasn't going to come into work the day before, or the day that he failed to show up either.

Patsy's occupational nihilism gave him courage to show up to work in a cowboy hat.

Occupational therapist 

Nobody really knows what an occupational therapist does, even the therapists themselves are not altogether clear.

It may involve prescribing over toilet aids to old people, cajoling unco-ordinated children into completing sensory-motor activities, fighting off physical therapists who also claim to treat upper limb injuries and dealing with cranky night-shift nurses who are jealous they did not choose an alllied health profession.

Among the most over-worked and beleaguered of the helping professions, occupational therapists tend to get stuck dealing with the problems that even the social workers can't solve.

1. The occupational therapist just gave me this long handled toe wiper because my beer gut prevents me from reaching my own feet

2. I told the occupational therapist that Johnny was at risk of losing his subsidised accommodation if he keeps flushing newspaper down the toilet

3. The infection control committee are having kittens about the spread of germs from theraputty in the occupational therapy department
