Gotta Go To Work

Merika · 11-02-2005, 09:08 AM

As I said, I like my job and the people I work with a whole lot. Even though...a job is a job. Just something about having to get dressed, leave your house and face the world which is borderline depressing.

What do you think about while you get ready for work? Any suggestions on making that block of time more fun? I was thinking about playing music like my kids do when they get ready. Maybe that will help.

Today is my noon to nine. AARRGG! :?

Well when I WAS working, I would blast Disturbed. That always got me in the mood (not really, but it helped).

when i was working, it was depressing to have to leave to go to work. I'd think about how much it sucked that i had to go to work that day. LOL! but then, by the time i got to work, it wasn't that bad. i liked my job and who (well, most of them anyways) I worked with. it does help when you like the people you work with. In fact, i still keep in touch with a few of them to date.

I hate working with a passion. If I could get paid to webmaster full time then I'd be happy tho, especially if I could do it from the comfort of my own home.

i was thinking about work today, im gonna make almost no money after paying bills when i first start.

Duke · 11-02-2005, 08:47 PM

I have no money left now after paying bills and I've been working at the same place for the past 18 years.

lol, yeah i was breaking it down, i need about $20,000 to live a year after taxes. starting salaries in advertising are low 30k. My hope is that i keep moving upward and quickly.

do side work

darkangelism · 11-02-2005, 08:59 PM

Yeah i might, it all depends on how much free time I have, if i end up at an agency then i wont have time cause clients will be taking me out all the time to try and convince me to give them deals.

Duke · 11-02-2005, 11:34 PM

This is my side work.

darkangelism · 11-03-2005, 12:26 AM

except it costs you money.

Duke · 11-03-2005, 01:37 AM

I know, and a fair chunk at that.

Doesn't matter though, this is a labor of love. ;-)

What field are you in, Merika? Going to work, the horror I've come to discover this year...

My trick is to do it very quickly. I either turn on the tv or the radio, anything not to be actually thinking about the dreaded deed - prepering for work.

Sometimes it works.

What I hate most is when I'm tired and I have to put on high hills and a suit. I'd kill for my jeans and baskets! Normally I like to dress upp, though

, but it takes soo much time...
