Anyone just been in a foul mood lately?

Hit me about 3:30 this afternoon.

I'm glad I've been home this afternoon - I'd have likely fucking punched someone's lights out for saying the wrong thing to me today. Being 6'5 and about 275 lbs this would not have been a pleasant result on the receiving end of it.

Almost feel like going back to work in the fucking Arctic just because there's nobody up there to deal with.

Rant mode off. Thanks.

Yea lately felt like everything I do or touch turns into a shit sandwich.

I can make a mean bowl of shit soup!

I'm not really talkin about stuff turning to shit, I had a job yesterday that was impossible to make any worse, 5.4 with a busted rod.

Just people sometimes. You feel like smashin' em.

Had to beat the rod out of the block with a hammer.

I have been in a pretty foul general mood for weeks if not months. I believe the stress of the economy is rattling me and I cant seem to relax. Ironically my mood is even-toned at work because I have trained myself "to be" because I have to. Apparently, everyone else is allowed to be in a bad mood or act like an asshole whenever the fuck they feel like it... but not Mr. Keith! Posted Image

Thank you Brad - I feel better knowing I have company! Posted Image

I am going camping at Camp Jellystone next week with my girls. Maybe I'll snap out of it then.

Now that you mention it, I have been feeling a little out of sorts for a while.... I think I first noticed it about 1991 or 1992.

Life's a bitch and then you die... We can deal with it - or it will deal with us...

Each and every set-back that life offers up to us can be treated like a problem - or like an opportunity.

I used to work with an older man - one day I had a loaded propane truck laying on it's side, a loaded fuel truck stuck on a private road it shouldn't have been on, a busy fuel cardlock that wasn't dispensing fuel and a half dozen other little minor tragedies blossoming. John patted me on the shoulder and calmly said "Cheer up Jimmy... things are never so bad that they can't get worse"....

If you young'uns plan on getting old... deal with it... this is life - it ain't fair... it ain't just... and it will only ever be as good as we make it...

This has been a public service announcement.

I've been in a foul mood as well, for a while.

Yes, life ain't fair, but it seems for some it's more fair than for others.

Living in this toilet we call NJ the inequities of those who actually work for a living vs those who "work" for things like the state, are just too wide to not see.

We work, pay taxes, they suck it all up and more and want more. Then when things went wrong, they bitch at TWO unpaid days off in one month, but aligned for 2 four day weekends. And they get asked, nicely to pay barely a pittance towards their lifetime health care, and bitch again. Awww, I feel so sorry for you.

A few friends of mine work in the depths of our crooked gov't for money that's just criminal for what they do. Six figure salaries for 30 hour work weeks make me cringe. I sure got into the wrong line of work.

I do my best to ignore it all, but it seems to be thrown into our faces daily.
