Fine by me!

Go on, I'm all ears!

Life is like . . . . . sorry wrong script.

I'd never say life is **** . . . . 'cos something worse could always happen . . . and also 'cos I believe in the 'half-full glass' philosophy.

**ubunreal69** · Apr 15th, 2002, 05:19 AM

life isnt shet, its just a little screwed up

**InvisibleDuncan** · Apr 15th, 2002, 05:22 AM

Life's great. Great wife, great children, great friends, nice house, reasonable cars...

Life's great.

**SjR** · Apr 15th, 2002, 05:32 AM

Life is wonderful

(twisted at times but great overall)

**Guru** · Apr 15th, 2002, 05:36 AM

**ubunreal69** · Apr 15th, 2002, 05:40 AM

Life's great.

I've got the "Great wife, great children," part and they're the only thing stopping me from putting an end to my miserable existence...

Sounds like a good life to me

Count your blessings and all that.

If work's 5hit, leave. Lifes too short to be miserable

Yeah right!

and what then?

How will that pay the mortgage?

**SjR** · Apr 15th, 2002, 06:20 AM

Yeah sorry - I have little responsibilities (like none) and can do that....

But, are you looking for work? At least then you're doing something positive about the situation.... then, when that super new job comes along, life will be great

**GlenW** · Apr 15th, 2002, 06:26 AM

10 months ago I was very close to meeting j4u's best mate.
9 months & 2 weeks ago No4 son was born.
He's crawling now, I'm 90% recovered.
My wife is gorgeous.
Sons' 1,2 and 3 are brilliant.
I like my jobs.

Only a lottery could improve my life.

Oh! and j4u shutting the ***** up.

I'll refer you to my post here

My house is too small
Mortgage too large
In laws are ******s
own family are crack-pots
debts(excluding mortgage) > annual salary
Work part time to help pay the bills

Bloke sitting next to me get paid £12K pa more than me and does ABSOLUTLY FVCK ALL ALL DAY!

no wonder I get pissed off!

**SjR** · Apr 15th, 2002, 06:54 AM

I can understand...
I was going to post a list of problems I have, but I'd rather keep them to myself. Needless to say, I could give you a list as long as your arm - and so could many others here...

...but I'd still say I have a wonderful life

**Guru** · Apr 15th, 2002, 07:06 AM

...at least I don't live in Birmingham though!

**Guru** · Apr 15th, 2002, 09:01 AM

Thanks for your comments Behemoth

At the moment I work about 5 miles from home (that's good!

)
I finish a 13:00 on Fridays (also good)

I drive Class 1 HGV every Friday afternoon/night - that's why I usually pop into vbworld about 3am when I get in.

This work added an extra £4.5k Gross to my annual income
If I were to change jobs and was no longer able to do this I'd have to earn at least £4.5k pa extra just to break even.

Add to that extra traveling costs....

I live just south of Birmingham in a house that isn't big enough to swing a cat.

We pondered over the idea of moving north to buy a larger house for the same value as the house I'm in at the moment.

Sounds ok in theory but .....

.....I'm sick of trying to workout what to do for the best

I actually enjoy my work - programming: java, JSP, javascript, VB

The company is farcical though which is why I get pissed off so regulaly

We've got about £50K capital in the house which would be a nice start if we were to emigrate somewhere....

...but I can't even afford visit any other country and I think it would be a tad reckless to just do it and hope for the best

My uncle sold his 3 bed semi in southampton and moved near where I live.
He now has a 5 bed detatched house with massive gardens triple garage, and had enough money left to fully furnish and decorate it.
I know its a big decision but you will be amazed at the house prices up here.
And the people aren't as bad as you might think.

Behemoth · Apr 15th, 2002, 09:16 AM

and are you worth that much? at least you've got a ballpark figure to play with. Thats my personal problem, I can calculate a figure for myself but I never stick with it. I lack the confidence to establish what I'm worth and almost always settle for second best

**Wally Pipp** · Apr 15th, 2002, 09:18 AM

I'm borderline psychotic and loving every minute of it.
Life is just grand

Behemoth · Apr 15th, 2002, 09:40 AM

sorry, Im not concentrating properly at the moment...Ive got a huge mouth ulcer and I'm trying to work out how best to change jobs myself.

I suppose the only way to stop the **** life is when you die.

thats a really helpful attitude...well done, NW

It may be pessi... pessimi... pessimistic??? But it's TRUE!

Life is $HIT (I'll concede it has little tasty bit's of sweetcorn in it

and stays that way all the way to the death!

on brink of nervous breakdown

**Monkey Man** · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:38 AM

Life, don't talk to me about life!

I always used to comfort myself by reading books such as "The Dao of Physics" or "A Brief History of TIme", you realise how insignificant your problems are (or it backfires and you realise how insignificant YOU are

)

Behemoth · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:39 AM

what the **** is wrong with you people?

I grit my teeth every day and put a smile on for people. It takes a whole ****ing load of effort, but sometimes it feels really worthwhile. Sometimes I really enjoy it.

So I come in VBF to talk to my friends and perhaps make new ones. I can leave my problems at the door and perhaps help someone out, and all I hear is drink-my-problems-away this and suicide that.

Sorry Guru, this isn't directly addressed at you, but I'm fed up of the giving in pessimistic attitude of a hell of a lot of people.

It wierd, but think positive and your life generally is positive. I haven't perfected it yet, but I'm getting there, and it'd be great if everyone else gave it a go too. If not for yourselves then for me.

rant over.

Yeah, I'm with this whole positive vibe

**Ianpbaker** · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:43 AM

Guru, I don't know whever this has been mentioned before or I'm barking completley up the wrong tree, but if I said "Hello Mark Sreeves" would you respond ?

**Wally Pipp** · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:46 AM

I know I would

**Monkey Man** · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:50 AM

Behemoth,

Some people are happy to be negative. I myself swing between the two emotions so rapidly it's quite funny to watch.

Jerry Springers Final Thought:

Just remember people, when you are feeling like Guru felt earlier, hold on to that emotion. When things do get better (as they always do), it's easy to forget what things were like before, it's then you start to loose appreciation for all you have now, and all the things you should always be thankful for......

Ahhhh *deep breath*, I'm happy now

Behemoth · Apr 15th, 2002, 10:54 AM

yeah, sorry all. Just lost it for a moment

:sheepish:

Depends if I could hear you or not!

(yes that IS a smile

)

I am indeed Mark Sreeves

I tend to use "Mark Sreeves" for serious posts

I usually use Opera and the cookies are set for "Guru". If I use IE am logged in as Mark

I also have several other usernames which I use when the mood takes me.

This may come as a surprise but I am actually an optimistic person and on the whole have a positive outlook on life.

Honest!
