# What's wrong with it?
Work is shit, dude, the trick is to remember that It's Only Work. Believe me, sometimes mine stresses me out to the point of lunacy sometimes, but you can't let it affect the time you spend away from it.

# Work is fucking great.
Some weeks I even do some.

# Mine is bollocks, utter piss. But sod it.
My mate keeps threatening to open a porn shop and ask me to manage it, but never actually going through with it. Why must he taunt me so?

# I both completely agree with this
...and am aware that I am failing majorly at it.

I've always been pretty chilled with work stuff, I work my arse off while there and don't let it get to me when I'm not. But after over 2 years of various amounts of shit, one particular strain almost ensuring I never get to work in the industry again for doing exactly nothing wrong, I'm finding it very difficult to return to programming as usual.

# Oh believe me, what I've just wrote in no way reflects the way I actually deal with it
what's written above is pretty much what my friends keep saying to me. I'm....getting there, but am still quite affected in my free time. But I know it's not the way it should be.

# I know what you mean.
to be very honest if I had to rely on 9-5 employment working in drudgery I would be on the dole. I simply can not work to anyone else's schedule than the one I set nor can I have people telling me what I should be doing. I know what I should be doing.
I'm told I'm a good boss though. I have very exacting standards and don't accept the same mistake twice but I'm generous when good workers make my life easy.

# Got anything I can do from Derby
or only travelling a few days a week to?

I'm surprisingly more multi-talented than I commonly let on

# if you can use a tape measure
a dewalt and a jigsaw without cutting your hands off I might give you a go on the BA contract at Birmingham International. I'm sure the boys will need coffee and sarnies ;)

# Pfffft
I can more than look after myself with DIY, but I'm certainly not qualified (/experienced) to work professionally.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'd only have to fire me after the second time you 'accidently' got sawdust in your sarnie after making that request.
I do make a mean sarnie, but if I'm not even going to get angry sex with the ex-boss I don't see it being worth the commuting.

# haha.
I'll have to see my accountant and ask him what the tax breaks are for 'office harlot' ;)

# My work have a nasty habit of chucking people in at the deep end
which is kind of what's happened to me. 6 months on, I've got the hang of it, am still a little unsure but godo at my job nevertheless. Which is bad, because working well gets rewarded with More Stuff To Do. Bastards.

but I guess it worked, kinda.

# I have no idea.
To be honest, if I didn't have you lot to tell this stuff to I'd probably just carve each word into consecutive passers by with a thin knitting needle.

# b3ta is great to unload on. Though
I'm still very subjective about what I say. I have actually had a seriously bad month involving deaths, suicide and numerous cancers. All the fodder that gives your average b3tan glee to take the piss out of.

# My friend Dave, who I gre up with
as he lived next door, Hung himself on Sunday last week. He was a successful gymnasium owner but women fucked him up. The reason it is hard to tell b3ta is that it was in Cardiff. WALES! WTF is up with that place?
It was too near to the Bridgend stuff for me to dare to tell b3ta last week.

# It's half the reason I struggle to understand why you can come on sometimes just to be cuntish
It may not be the right forum but some people really do see this place like a bit of a twisted community. I've met some of my best friends on here.
Hell, someone that is turning out to be nothing less than a soul mate (should I give in and buy into such ridiculous concepts) I first spoke to on here.

The rules are a bit odd, basically because there aren't any! but I'd struggle to be my often careless self in the face of what I suspected to be genuine 'real life' issues.

# I don't come here to be cuntish.
I come here wanting a bit of fun and a nice time. It is spiteful haters and idiots who drive me to being outspoken.

# Reading repsonses like this makes me believe I'm actually quite lucky here in working for myself.
extreme discipline, constant motivation, and many more hours than most 9-5 jobs, but on the upside, I do f*ckin' LOVE my work.

# what this guy said
except i found that the discipline thing surprisingly easy. for a lifelong slacker, i can't really explain it

# same here, when I started 8 years ago
I was worried about the motivation and discipline thing, but it is suprisingly easy to get around - I find now the worst thing is not knowing when to 'switch off'
