    Has the recession affected your mood or are you oblivious to all?

    Pighead is always in a good mood at this time of the year. Danced into work today, went to the canteen and done a little dance before eating breakfast and am currently dancing whilst typing at the moment. Pighead loves International Dance Day.

    Not really answering the question though is it? Of course if money is your main motivation then it follows that yes your mood has improved but if money doesn't mean a whole lot to you then for all we know you could be bluer than a smurf's todger. Are you motivated by money Soupy?

    Well this it, my work is in Daublin which means shelling out Daublin rents and costs of living so circumstance dictates that I'm motivated by money. Personally I'd love to live in a log cabin in an Isolated part of the west of Ireland, have a small holding and do a Hugh Fernly-Whittingslystall III on it, then again my SQL skills wouldn't really come in handy when I wanna dry smoke some mackerel.

    This time last year I was on a long long overdue respite break, this year I'm stuck at home since the 'rents refuse to go in the Home again ... so in that respect my mood is worse, the Recession [for me] means things are a lot cheaper therefore I can buy more stuff.

    I'm in a much better place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    I'm much happier...I have a job (yay!, didn't have one this time last year) and I'm living somewhere much sunnier.

    Oh yeah and they don't talk about the R word here as much as at home.
