"One must imagine Sisyphus happy." This isn't an endorsement of positive thinking, it's a logical conclusion that in the moment the absurd can by recognized, the resetting Sisyphus' inherently pointless task that *must* be performed again and again only to ge met by the same result, and embraced without false hope or futile attempts at rationalization, that Sisyphus is able to recognize his own freedom in not being shackled by attempts to find or create meaning in his task, or hope in his own future. He is bound to his fate without any chance of improvement, and in that situation the only power one can wield is acceptance of that truth, after which all internal struggle related to that truth can cease. It's important to acknowledge that Camus was applying this metaphor to the entirety of life, while you apply it to your speech, but the principles still remain the same. This aspect of your life is a piece of your struggle towards the hilltop. It may be difficult, it may be degrading, but, most importantly, it *is*. And because it forms a part of your life, it must be experienced with as little or as much control as you can, or care to, provide, because it will be experienced regardless. Personally, I prefer the quote in context: "This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
