Dragon Quest Builders 2 review — Busywork is happy work

One of the sports desks I worked on had a motto: “Busywork is happy work.” This was the mantra of my boss and me whenever we worked on the agate pages (the part of the sports section in a newspaper with all the box scores, standings, betting odds, and so on). You didn’t have to make any decisions about headlines, about catchy ledes, about pictures — you just laid in the copy and made it fit.

It kept you busy throughout a shift, but not too busy that you couldn’t keep an eye on a game on the TV or joke around with your coworkers.
