How happy are you?

Dragan · 07-11-2008 11:52AM #1

On a scale on 1 to 5 ( with 1 being Unhappy and 5 being Extremely Happy), taken into account everything in your life right now, how happy are you at this very moment?

And if you would like to elaborate, Why?

Dudess · 07-11-2008 11:55AM

I'm a 4. Life's great except for one thing - my job. To be fair, the money's all right and the people are nice and it's a good organisation to work for, but it's so mundane and unfulfilling. I know a job's a job and you can do more interesting stuff outside of it. That doesn't fully cut it for me though. It gets me down a small bit tbh. However, I'm working on ways of changing this...

Overall, life is good and I'm very lucky.

I'm fukkin ecstatic.

kmick · 07-11-2008 12:05PM

Happy - the meds make me drool though.

Quazzie · 07-11-2008 12:05PM

I'm a 2 because I'm only a 6

John Mason · 07-11-2008 12:09PM

i would be in bliss if wasnt for the NTL idiots

Irishcrx · 07-11-2008 12:09PM

I'm a bit down because she doesn't love me and wants someone else and I really want to run him over with a train, work is ok, friends are great, house is great so...

MJOR · 07-11-2008 12:10PM

I'm a four.... one of two things i'd change but overall i am super duper! I'd probably be a 5 if the word recession wasn't being bandied around so much

biko · 07-11-2008 12:13PM

Strong 4. Well, I am a happy person and besides I have everything I need and a brilliant gf to boot. Could have been a 5 but effing rain and cold is bringing the overall grade down.

Puddleduck · 07-11-2008 12:16PM

Im a bit down...coz I got 2 frucking parking tickets yesterday, Im stressing bout money, work is crap, people are annoying me and in general I just feel ****e

Then again..I might just be mad..

Same as you Dudess.

I have a nice life, can't complain.

Complaining only makes a person bitter and twisted.

How happy am I?

I'm happy out,

Doesn't that mean I'm extra happy?

Wagon · 07-11-2008 12:25PM

Happy. Doing fine but want to leave the country so that'll be next year. Then hopefully I'll move up the scale

KnifeWRENCH · 07-11-2008 12:26PM

2.5.
Financial situation is good. Family situation is fairly good. College situation is average. Friend situation is not so good. Love life, as always, is non-existent. So I'm about halfway between happiness and unhappiness.

I've always been a "glass is half-empty" type of person though. One of my friends once told me that the only time I'm ever happy is when I'm miserable.

Zangetsu · 07-11-2008 12:30PM

Lovin every second tbh, good times bad times, can't go wrong

I'll give it an 11!

Puddleduck · 07-11-2008 12:30PM

Aw group hug everybody :pac:

Caoimhín · 07-11-2008 12:32PM

Im not so bad.

Whatever my situation is, it could always be worse. Imagine being the father of children in DC Congo or some other godforsaken shoite hole like Baghdad or Navan.

Delirium · 07-11-2008 12:36PM

4
Fridays always put me in a good mood.:)

07-11-2008 12:38PM

I said 3. I'm a bit up and down.

I've a lot of bullshit which is dragging me down like college, money, injuries etc but I always appreciate how lucky I am, I've got good relationships with the family, friends, girlfirend etc. I have good people around me and I'm lucky to have that. No matter how bad everything else gets, as long as I have these people around me I don't think I'd ever slip below 3.

To be honest, the only thing in life bar the people around me (who contribute greatly to this) is happiness. I'd rather be a bum on the street and be happy than be a depressed millionaire. All I want is to be happy.

thelordofcheese · 07-11-2008 12:48PM

I'm miserable. But that's ok, i'm always miserable.

It's you happy people that have it bad, sure everything sunny now but one day the plot of every country and western song will happen to you, you'll lose your job, your wife will be having an affair with your pickup truck and your millkman will have been killed by your dog.

Then you'll crack because you can't deal with it.
me, that would have been an average monday.

Zangetsu · 07-11-2008 12:51PM

thelordofcheese nah....

I'm happy cause I know life for the most part is horribly depressing but I've accepted it and moved on, in the same boat as you just more optimistic about the whole situation

Dragan · 07-11-2008 12:53PM

Nice to see the happy end of the scale being held up, it's just good to know that a lot of people are in good moods at the moment.

For me, i went with 4. I couldn't really ask for much more positive in my life at the moment. Personal projects are going well and are nice and fulfilling. Have a fantastic relationship with my girlfriend, my friends are excellent. Work situation is good and job looks secure.

The only real thing going against the bliss would be money but after another month or two all that should be sorted as i just decided i had to grow up about my finances. When you earn good money but are broke at the end of each month you need to ask yourself some questions!

So hopefully, the New Year = bliss?:pac:

You say that now, but your milkmans days are numbered.

Mr. CooL ICE · 07-11-2008 12:55PM

1.5

Fresh out of college with a highly regarded degree, but can't get any work. Sent out about 25 CVs and only got acknowledgements for about 4 of them. May have to emigrate. Am worried cos I took out a loan for a new car, so if I do find work abroad, I will lose out on a lot of money. And the weather is ****e.

Only reason I'm not a 1 is cos I am due back a couple of grand in emergency tax.

07-11-2008 12:55PM

I do hate people who claim "I'm always happy"......no you're fuckin not you horrible liar! And if you were, then you are a psychopath! Are you happy at funerals? When loved ones are sick/die? Were you walking around with a big teethy grin on September 11th 2001? Yea? Fuck off!
