Happy at work?

i'm in new employee training, so I'm sleepy. But it means free lunch every day and that makes me happy.

I noticed when I have been away from climbing for a while (not having climbed or seen other climbers in months and months) and only around other incredibly uptight residents I get physically and emotionally depressed. Then I get to go climbing and see how incredibly happy climbers are.
I can understand how Chuck's co workers think he is the happiest person they know, because he probably is exponentially more happy than they are. I think relatively few people have the contentment and overall happiness that climbers have.
I have had people on the outside looking in say how lucky I am (was) to have something like climbing that makes me happy.
I got to get back to work- fuck....

I'm usually too busy to be happy or sad. I can't cruise these forums from work but I do plan some outings while at work. That makes me happy.

Since Oct 3, 2008 I've been pretty happy being unemployed and all. I don't know what all this job loss fuss is about? People just need to get themselves a van and travel around, quit trying to hang on to an empty lifestyle of big screen TVs, Bud Light, balloon mortgages.

I always found that people who had stuff going on in their lives outside of work were generally more happy and easier to deal with while on the clock. Even those who 'loved their jobs' and considered work to be big part of their life seemed to be missing something...at least to me.

Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to.

People often accuse me of being one of the happiest people they know, which I guess is as a result of the smiles. If only they heard the voices in my head.

I DO hear the voices in your head! That's why people think that I am insane. I forget to smile while I am listening to your voices.

I get paid to act happy and motivated. It can be very exhausting at times. So if I seem like a dick outside of work its not you. Except if your the SOB in the left hand lane doing the speed limit.
