The Vent - Part 2

[Misty1979 0]

My co-worker is the laziest person alive, and if he thinks I'm going to do all his work again today while he slacks, he has another thing coming.

I'd gladly trade a lazy co-worker for one who is a neurotic hypochondriac brown nosing B$%^&.

I wish I had a job w/ annoying coworkers.

i have been in US for 4 days. I have nothing to do. My unpacking is almost done and all my daily chores are done quickly. i feel lost and when i talk to my family in Canada and ask me how I'm doing - im just fine, i dont really feel any excitement or sadness about moving here. Just blah. I think b/c i have been itching to do something - like a 9-5 thing and now i have all this time in the world and dont know what to do with it. I have lots of people telling me to hang out with them when ever I have nothing to do but i dont want to sit and just "hang". I guess I'm a little depressed about moving out of my comfort zone and a little lazy to do anything with anyone. My husband says I'm able to watch tv or watch movies all day now. but I want to be up and at it and doing something. I already know where everything is in town so not really much adventure there. AAHhh! this is a workaholics worst nightmare. I am not used to this. And I want to show my happiness to see my husband everyday but i just feel blah! Any advice from anyone?

I hear you .. totally.. when hubby was at work and I was alone in his studio apt. I almost went crazy.. But I would LONG for those days to do over! I'd take naps & walks and spend more time reading & lounging. I TOTALLY would have stressed out less.. *sigh hindsight is 20/20!

But in the meantime.. is there somewhere close by you could volunteer? Do you have a hobby that you've put aside or would love to try but never had the chance to? Want to get a puppy, write a book, get back in shape, detox, wax, paint, etc. etc? Now's the time to do something for you before the craziness of work comes back into your life. Plus it's the summer.. PERFECT time to work on that tan

Ahh only four days? I was here for 10 months before I could do anything

Honestly, it sucks but...like E said, try to find something to occupy your time. Volunteer...do something you always wanted to do but never had time to.

What's with people hitting my car lately!??

Last Friday night in a parking lot some guy hit me... not hard, no bruises just a scratch or two and his paint came off of his car. Then this morning, I saw this person getting really close and then the light turns green and BUMP... they hit me. Have you ever heard of the waiting until the person ahead of you moves before you decide to hit the gas pedal moron!?

Anyways my car is fine, as was theirs but its still a pain in the neck. Hey at least it's never my fault.

Enjoy it, once you join the rat race there is NO turning back. I think I was unemployed for 6 months. I volunteered a bit, took up inline skating and bike riding.

I know it's hard, but try to enjoy it the best you can.... Like E said, there are lots of things you could do, maybe take up a new hobby? Learn some new cooking or baking stuff, that's what I've been doing! I exercise alot too, I can honestly say I have 100% enjoyed my time off and took advantage of it. I know lots of people would LOVE 6 months off work, so I made the best of it. After all, there was nothing I could do about it so I enjoyed it. Still am, but now have to find a job because I don't have an excuse anymore not to be working

[Udella&Wiz 325]

Breathe! It's ok to feel blah! You just moved away from everything you've known and loved to somewhere new - even if, as you say, you know where everything is in the new town.

You can feel lazy, happy, sad, numb, bored - all in one day, 1 hour...or even none of the above and it is all perfectly ok! Most ,if not all, of us have been there and understand. Let the feeling happen and work through them - probably for the best (yes, I know - I sound like some mushy person )

I was at a loss too - I'm not an idiot so I could find things to keep busy, but you can only cook, clean, organize, clean-up, paint, help with the kids so much and then....you want to get a job, do something productive and not live off your spouse

Keep venting and visiting VJ - you'll have good days and bad says and can talk about each!

Okay now we're getting internal office forwards about preventing swine flu.

This is ridiculous.

[Marilyn. 340]

you know what i find interesting, is that they say an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 die from the seasonal virus every year... why isn't that a big news story??

Precisely - the media in particular is blowing this out of proportion - consider how many deaths there have actually been and also how sick the folks who did have it are and how many have rcovered...geesh. It's a drop in the bucket in comparison
