Cheer me up, dammit

This is One Of Those Weeks.

Computers suck. Everybody I work with is a moron. The cute chick I met at a party last week was visiting from goddamn Boise. I’m reviewing a product, I have twenty pages of bullet points, and I still haven’t gotten to the serious problems with it. I have too much work and haven’t been approved for overtime. I have to prepare a presentation and my co-presenter is devoid of clue. I can’t find a decent bottle of rye. Traffic sucks. I’ve missed two good concerts in the past two days.

I’m cruising at about six ounces of hard liquor nightly after I get home from work. I am filled with grrr.

Cheer me up, dammit!

Have yourself a nice cold beer. Try a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

You haven’t been raped by the Gay Wing of the Hell’s Angels. Yet.

American Idol is almost over.

Mt. Rainier (did I spell that right?) is ripe to kill you, but hasn’t yet. Thats kind-of a sexy thought.

Even Bill Gates will die, cold and lonely. Just like the rest of us.

For those of us with internet access, tommorrow will eventually be better.

I just got an “independant contractor” position making over $125/hr.! :smiley:

I don’t know about you, but I’m cheered up!

kitties and babies being too cute for wordsd always cheer me up.

A suggestion: Put the serious problems on your first one or two slides, then tack on the little problems as an appendix, to be shown only if people request it. Otherwise, they’ll be so tired by the time they get to the big problems, they’ll make bad decisions.

Surely one can write to Boise. Someone at the party must know her name and address?

The hard liquor at night is a bad idea (but you probably know that already).

Happiness comes with acceptance.

Accept it:

–You will never be properly acknowledged or compensated for the work that you do.

–Others will take credit for your triumphs, and occasionally, you will be blamed for their failures.

–You will always have a few assholes in your life.

–You will always torture yourself with thoughts of “What if . . .”

But:

–They can never take away your little pleasures in life.

–No matter what happens, the American government will not let you starve to death.

–When you leave the office, they cease to exist. If you decide this, they cannot intrude on your personal time which you treasure. Remember who really MATTERS to you.

–Most problems resolve themselves.

Hang in there. Don’t let the bastards get ya down.

Well, there was this post in IMHO where I talked about you. It’ll either make you laugh or come hunt me down.

Hey, you just might feel better either way. :smiley:

Well, swampbear’s post definitely cheered ME up! I’m picturing hunterhawk in an evening gown (and giggling) and I don’t even know what he looks like! Imagination is a wonderful thing!

I keep reading the thread title in Professor Farnsworth’s voice (Futurama).

…and then, of course, I promptly lose network access after posting the OP. Sheesh.

Trust me, you will not catch me in an evening gown. Not after the Adhesive-Strapless-Bra-Meets-The-Chest-Hair Incident of '99. Now it’s strictly LBDs with high necklines for me, thankyouverymuch.

Thanks for the replies, all! Things are starting to look up; I’ve managed to earn a bunch of karma points over the past few days. (And the cute chick is actually a FOAF, so should be easy to contact.)
