Dam Christmas!

Asmooh

I was happy this morning that I can go to work, so I walked to the train station freezing my hands off.

When I arrived at the train station it seems that the train didn't go 6.47 but 7.05 instead!

What the heck is wrong with the people that planning those times? Some people need to work. This absolutely blows because now I need to walk for half a hour in the cold weather and it's also very windy


I hate holiday!

What is a different word for holiday? Vacation? That is not the same.
Okay heck is hell but since people are so religious in Ireland I thought let's not say that.

Please name a different word for 'sucks' which is not rubbish because that is not the same.

Why not wait for the 7.05? And put your hands in your pockets...

And if the train arrived at 6.47 you wouldn't have to walk?

Pretty much every retail worker in Ireland, restaurant staff, care assistants, doctors, nurses, flight attendants, and so on.

I'm off at 4pm

If you must to go work tomorrow, well if I were you I really wouldn't bother.

Because there are finer things in life and I should know because I've seen them.

Poor sods working today. I feel for them..

Should I ask you for the number for Connolly Station, or should I tell you I no longer want tv , phone and broadband?

It'll be grand. A good walk to start the day.

It's Christmas. Relax. Enjoy.

Because if I can I could, because I think it is useless to do other things.

I normally do that, but now in the winter I don't enjoy it that much

I never really thought of it that way. It's a good philosophy to have.

I checked up Dart times for today yesterday. And indeed seems like a weekend schedule, ending early.

I guess if somebody's life is that empty of anything, and only working 7 days a week could fill in the time, then sure, why not

Jeez, that's really depressing! You think it's useless to go out and have fun?

Working 7 days a week, pay your house so you don't have a mortgage or dept at a quite young age, save more if you end up without job you have enough money without having to go to welfare which is also better for the country.

Saving money including interest rates gives you more money.


Don't get into marriage or get kids, those are money wasters

Depends on your definition of "fun"

It involves wasting my money being married and having kids and crazy things like that. I'm sure I'll regret not working 7 days a week when I'm old and poor of course.

And buying Ferraris and helicopters.

And then what? Die young after your body gives up from working constantly, so never enjoy the fruits of your labour?

Nah. Work to live. I work so that I have money to enjoy things and make life fun.

God can you not see how miserable that is?
So work and pay your mortgage off 10 years earlier. Then go home to your big empty house.

Ah come on. I paid off a mortgage early. Retired in my early 50s. Have a great family, plenty of friends, loads of hobbies and a generous pension. And I didn't work 7 days a week. I relaxed and enjoyed life and I certainly let the spirit of Christmas blossom.

No point being miserable. And more importantly, being miserable to those around you. Nobody wants to hear a whinging party pooper on Christmas Eve.

I don't agree, sorry.
Why do you need someone in your life, you should be happy by yourself without needing anyone else to make you happy.

If you get home in a big empty house, you know where you have worked for and that should make you happy.

You don't need other people to make you happy, you should make yourself happy.
That you need other people is an illusion

I agree, that's why I decided long long time ago... actually on my 16th already that I won't do Christmas and won't be spending time with family.

and then tomorrow morning when everyone else is enjoying turkey and pressies with their families and watching kids faces light up you will get hit by a bus and die happy in the knowledge that you had paid more of your mortgage than I did.

Except you wont because lucky for you, the bus driver has the day off! :P


(also, this thread, wow talk about first world problems)

Waiiiiitttt a minute. I think the op is Christmas trolling

That would actually the best gift ever, just a personal statement.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

I don't believe you OP.

Working 7 days a week. Work today. Yet plenty of time to take part in Boards discussions while doing all this enjoyable work?

You seem to have made a God of Money at the expense of humanity.

Nah! This persona, coupled with other threads, just doesn't gel.
