    Ok, im sitting at my desk in work trying to look busy and doing no work at all and I suddenly have a philisophical inspiration.

    We work to get money to buy food to give us energy to work.

    I feel im kinda being screwed over by life

    I thought that we worked to buy beer so that we are then unable to work the next day.

    Therefore no money, so no beer, so back to work.

    Sorry to burst your profound bubble, but you need food & energy to, above all, live and function - as shocking as it may be to you, unemployed people also need money for food which gives them energy.....yet they don't work! I think I found the flaw in your profoundly crap equation...

    Don't give up the day job though, and keep truckin' there buddy!

    I wonder what it would be like to go postal, my biggest fear be missing. That would really suck, because its not like you can ask to have another crack at it. You either turn the gun on yourself or go to jail.

    He knows that, but he also feels the need to tell random people on the internet that he gets regular sex. It's all about approval - he just 'had' to let people know!

    If you're working to give you enough money to return to work, then you're in the wrong profession.

    1. Work shouldn't necessarily be a chore. You should generally enjoy what you're doing (everyone has bad days, and "I just want a holiday" days. Even professional atheletes).

    2. Even if you do love your work, there's no reason why it should be the be-all and end-all. If work is directly or indirectly consuming your time, when you could be doing leisure activities, then you're probably also in the wrong profession.
