This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)

The Origin of the Word "Office"

    "Once, long ago, everyone in the world ice skated. In fact, everyone worked ON the ice. Then, someone came up with the idea of working OFF the ice. A new word was then formed by combining the words OFF and ICE. That is where the word OFFICE comes from. This is why the majority of people in the world don't ice skate and work in OFFICES."
