Now combine a job you hate with not making enough money and your recipe for disaster is mixed and bubbling...

Now combine a job you hate with not making enough money and then add acting out, and you have just placed a leaf-blower in front of a pan of liquid egg batter mix!

What's wrong with me?

Sometimes R' Dov has a way of puting things which even Rage couldnt top!

You don't really expect out sympathy , right? Poor, poor, rich rage...

Hey rage if you want ill take some of your money. That should make it easier for you to quit your job! ;D ;D ;D :D :D

Well, I'm not rich, but the money I'm making is pretty good. I'd get a lot less if I leave, and that's part of the problem I'm facing (deciding whether to leave or not).

Yesterday was a great day! I decided to work from home. I then went on a 1 hour hike in the hills behind my house, and I really enjoyed that. Then I spent time with my family and reading some interesting stuff before bed.

I actually acted out also while I was working. I felt like it was so hard to sit and work, so I surfed around. Of course I didn't think I would surf for an hour, and I thought of going for a walk, but I was afraid if I walked, it would take too much time out of my day and  I wouldn't finish my work that I had to finish. But, now I see that I wasted an hour surfing. so, instead of wasting an hour surfing and acting out, I it would have been better for me to have gone for my 1 hour hike during the work day instead. As they say, hindsight is 20-20.

Today is more dull. I'm back at work. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but it's hard not to get sucked into the workplace abyss....

I'd like to think I can turn my life around forever into doing fun things that I enjoy, and not just for one day (yesterday). I guess it takes time. But, it's hard to so enjoyable things if I don't enjoy my work, and I spend most of my day at work.

How do you guys like my new picture and signature?

I love your new avatar and signature!

Yesterday sounds amazing. A whole day of living!
Remember, you are still new to this whole concept, dont expect total turn around in one day.
How about another hike when you get home today?

Well, when I get home I'll want to see my family for a bit. And eat supper. And it will be dark outside, and I'm afraid to walk the hills in my area at night (afraid of human animals and real animals that lurk around the area).

Any other ideas how to turn a boring workday into a living day are welcome. 

Chose a workmate to 'sponsor' - think of ways to brighten his day (bring him a coffee, shmooze, send him a funny email etc)

Google info on some interesting flora and fauna growing in your area, so next hike you'll know what youre seeing

Momo, I like your avatar!

Check out this post.

Momo great avatar! even better signature. Hey i can come visit you if youd  like?? ;D :D Try thinking of things that you are grateful for. Write them down. Youll se it will take time off your hands and it will make you feel so much better. Try it youll see.

momo i LOVE your avatar!

u had a great yesterday and a blah today, right?
and you're thinking that tomorrow is going to be blah too.

so how about this. start looking for a job. lets say for 5 minutes a day, think about your ideal job.

at least you'll have a chance everyday to look forward to the future.
and when you get home (as long as it's not to late), do stuff with your kids/ wife.

bake cookies with your kids, or learn with them, or just sit on their bed, smiling, and tell them a story.

they will appreciate it a millionfold, and you'll feel like a special father

...love your new avatar thingie, Momo!

Momo!!
Beautiful man
I'm so happy right now.
And yes,like mom said,it's a process.
And we're here for you whenever you pop in.
I find that being with people is infinetely better than being alone in terms of living.
I try being with open and sincere and fun people who have trust written all over them.
Kids also are very geshmack.You see the simple pleasures of life so clearly.
At work:we discussed this already!!Print out pictures and jokes and hang them up around your cubicle.Make the environment a chilled one.It's in your hands,dude.And mom also had some good ideas.
Regarding life:Rav Shlachter suggested to me to take on some sort of project.That will keep us connected no matter what.
Any ideas?

Have a great shabbos momo!Once it begins,it just keeps getting better and better
