Are you happy? If not, why?

Nothing solves the Monday blues better than existential angst! Do you enjoy your life? If so, why? If not, why? Bad job, love life, money, etc.

I am happy. I love my family, I have the best dogs ever, I'm happy and secure, I enjoy my job, i earn enough to let me enjoy myself and life and I had pancakes for my breakfast.

No I'm not happy. Now f*ck off and leave me alone.

Dave0301 · 08-08-2016 10:38AM

I am clapping my hands right now...so yes?

Is this a middle management training course?
Please go away.

I've put far too much of my spare time (15+ months) and all my hopes and dreams into a website / software that by now, I despise working on. And that's what I'm doing right now.

When I'm not at this, I'm happy.

How are you gonna enter the thread just to bitch about the thread topic and tell the OP to go away from his own thread? You clearly aren't very happy....

I have a migraine and I'm still working. And I just had a talk with my boss about the fact that I was expected to get certified in an extremely complex software package nobody in the company has or uses (I have a "demo" copy that is not fully functional), without being sent to any actual training, and on a tight deadline, and while doing my regular support work. I refuse to accept blame for their missing the deadline because they're too tight to pay for any formal training ("you can learn it from online tutorials") or a full copy of the software. My boss said, "This is really important to the company". Not important enough to devote more than the occasional spare time of one person who you won't adequately support, equip, or train, eh.

I woke up this morning to find that I am still breathing

At my age that's always a good start to the day.

Compared to 9 or 10 months ago, I'm ecstatic.

Cypher_sounds · 08-08-2016 10:51AM

No, I'm in work.

Penny Tration · 08-08-2016 10:52AM

Yes, I'm happy. Great friends, great dog, great partner, college is nearly finished, and I've been gifted a trip to the UK next month. All good here.

Makes it sound like you were pregnant:D

Perhaps it's the bad grammar and simplistic questions.

So are you happy though

Not pregnant (which would be a miracle itself!), but did get rid of a load that made me feel lighter!

Edit : No matter what way I phrase this, it's gonna be open to interpretation!!

oide10 · 08-08-2016 10:57AM

No, not happy. Both my parents are unwell and currently it's costing me a fortune to look after them. Plus I have 2 small children to look after as well. The worry is really stressing me out.

If it took you 10 months to have a decent sh1te, I'd recommend Senokot

kfallon · 08-08-2016 10:58AM

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour. But heaven knows I'm miserable now.

As my edit said, open to interpretation!

No, I unburdened myself about 9 or 10 months ago. It changed me as a person and made me feel better about myself and life.

Hopefully that finally puts it to rest!

God, you and Lexi are insatiable. I ask a simple question - too simple. I ask a complex question - too convoluted. My grammar's certainly no worse than the standard here on AH.

There's a very simple solution. Instead of effing up the flow of the thread by being a whiny little naysayer, why don't you just stay out of my thread? You're like the ****ing earthworm in James and the Giant Peach who complains for the sake of complaining.

LOL. The chuckle helped lift the gloom a bit. I do work from home, so there's that. And it's pretty and sunny out, and my year-old tabby kitten is sitting in my office window looking down at the green area across the street from my house, on which there are six starlings, three large crows, and a lost-looking seagull. Another seagull zoomed my window and the kitten almost fell off the sill.

Text from boss: "i have to go get car fixed don't know how long will take can you write blog post about iot/bi pub before lunch" fml... that is, she wants me to write an article (she is never satisfied with one or a few paragraphs) for the company website's blog about the Internet of Things and how it relates to Business Intelligence. She had a week to do it and didn't do it, and now she wants it in an hour. Jesus, I'm good, but not that good. Nevertheless I'll do my best to have it out before 1:30, because I am that good.

Jesus, I'm sorry to hear that. You sound like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. I hope you have someone looking after you too.

Duggy747 · 08-08-2016 11:07AM

I'm in a better position than I was 12 months ago and, if things work out in the next short while, I could be in a far better place 12 months from now.

failinis · 08-08-2016 11:08AM

No, I can't remember the last time I was happy to be honest.

A lot of stress, and some of this will never leave me.
