Happy Thursday!


Recommended Posts

I woke up in a happy mood today. That hasn't happened in quite some time, so I wanted to pass my happiness on to all of you.

For the past few weeks, I have allowed work to seriously stress me out. I had so much stuff to do that I didn't know where to start. I couldn't keep up with the amount of quote requests coming in, balanced with aluminum purchasing, all while trying to train our new CSR. Point being, I was letting myself get so worked up that it spilled over to my personal life. I was tired all the time, crabby, and I swear I could feel my blood pressure rise when I walked in the door every morning. Yesterday I reached my breaking point. I said, "It's about fuck-this-shit o'clock and I need a margarita." So I did. As always, my mind is full of infinite wisdom after alcohol has been consumed, so I gave myself a nice little pep talk. If you're stressed out at work, or at home, this may help you. If not, I hope it will at least provide some entertainment... [WARNING: I'm a little weird, so just prepare yourselves]

  • It could be worse. I could be rotting in jail for a crime I didn't commit.
  • I don't have nearly as much pressure on me as Obama does, considering half of the nation hates him.
  • I could be unemployed. Pro: I wouldn't be nearly as stressed about work. Con: I would be much more stressed about not having a job.
  • I have a roof over my head and clothes on my body. Right there I'm better off than the majority of people in third-world countries.
  • I have access to clean water. Always a plus in my book.
  • In the last year, I have had E.Coli, cancer, food poisoning, and a stroke. I'm healthy as of this moment, and isn't this moment the only one that really matters?

Smile at someone. Say something encouraging to someone that is struggling. Be a friend. Tell your mom/dad/siblings/significant other/WHOMEVER that you love them. Have so much energy that you can't help but spread it around. Create a positive aura. Give whole body hugs, not the "ass out" kind (you know the kind where you wrap your arms around someone, but your ass is still awkwardly sticking out? Dedicate yourself to the hug). Be the kind of person you would want to meet.

I know this all sounds a little corny (okay, a lot of corny), but I just wanted to let all of you know that I'm sending a smile and a high-five your way. You're doing a great job. Keep up the hard work. Now give yourself a hug cause YOU RULE!

P.S. I'm even sending a smile and a high-five to you Dominic, regardless of your threats of sending me a Kings jersey. I'm just that nice. You're welcome. :mf_tongue:

Well, I liked it. My thoughts exactly early in the morning - in fact, all day. At least you're getting all the weird health stuff out of the way early in life.

I can't just be mad and take it out on some foreign telemarketer? LOL!

Melissa;

I read your post and I now have a smile on my face.

You have a supporter and fellow American who cares about yout out here on the "Left Coast". May good health and good fortune find you, your mom and the rest in your family and community. Heck, may good things happen to all on this board and all my fellow Americans.

Last Christmas I had a business meeting and was asked by someone what I wanted for Christmas. I replied that I really didn't need or want anything because I felt fortunate to have simply been born an American and would like only peace and prosperity for my family, fellow Americans and all places around the globe. Lord knows it is needed. Everybody at the meeting proceeded to laugh at me and call me a dreamer. My first inclination was to go ballistic but I shrugged it off, repeated what I wanted and endured the laughs like a man.

You just validated that what I wanted was correct all along.

Have a great day today and keep everyone around you smiling.

Dominic

Melissa,

Funny stuff!

Brian, yes. Try to take it easy on them... it's not their fault they have a job that everyone hates.

Dominic, dream big my friend. Someone has to have that dream for humanity to have any sort of future... it may as well be us.

Erik, you know the hug I'm talking about... the kind of hug where you don't know what to do, or someone is hugging you that you don't know all that well, or just attacked you with a hug out of nowhere. The ass-out hug is always awkward. You're welcome for the image in your head now.

Thanks for the laughs, thoughts, and images Melissa! I understand what you're going through and have been or am going through the same things. It sounds like we need to get together for a drink some time and share some laughs. I can't stop picturing that damn ass out hug! It cracks me up just thinking about it!

I hope you continue your good mood. Live for today because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

I'll bring the margaritas you just tell me when and where! :drunk:

I just can't imagine having an "ass out" hug when kissing Melissa. I mean, when hugging Melissa! Sorry, my mind was wandering.

Anyway - I agree, that was a perfect morning "smile". You could do one of those more often --- help break the morning doldrums.

"It's about fuck-this-shit o'clock and I need a margarita."

Great line!.... That's my personal philosophy! I'm normally in that mindset by 8am. I just don't act on it until 4pm.
