Bad mood

[Desdemona]

I have had a really bad day. This morning I recieved a phone bill for �135, I'm already seriously overdrawn, my period started and now my boyfriend is out having a drink with some girl he's just met. Grr.
Can anyone cheer me up with a joke or a nice story, or maybe you have had a worse day, and that will make me feel better too.

I've just been outside the office having a smoke and a blind bloke in a wheelchair passed by.  Things could be worse eh?  Chin up chuck.

ive just got a phone bill for �320 due to the idiot that sold me my phone telling me WAP was free, my girlfriend is currently having a drink with her ex at his new job as a stripper in a club, and my cats pee'd on my fresh washing. but myrons right, things could be worse.

Hey, Bad Mood - all things pass. Tell you what, think of somone richer but a lot older.  Don't think you'd swap, do you?  There'll be loads of good days for you!  Getting over the period should be a big help.  Sorry I haven't got a joke for you - I can never remember them. P.S. I'm divorced (left for a younger prettier model) no children or grandchildren, all the bills are a worry, the signs of age are coming, and I'm having an eye op. next Monday.

Whenever I am in the mood you are in (and it can be quite often) I recall the time I went to a market in Bangkok.  On the way, close by, was a bridge, on which sat a a quadrapigic man, begging.  It was approx 38C and he had no shade.  I bought an umbrella, some water and string. I tied the brolly up on a railing, and assisted with a drink.

An hour later, passed that way and the umbrella and the rest of the water had gone.  The evil **** that 'controlled' the beggar had removed the shade as it reduced sympathy and therefore financial contributions. 

I'm having a bad work / life day today, but everything works reasonably well and there is food in the cupboard.

What's brown and sticky??

 

 

A stick!

Don't worry, I'm in a job I don't like, in a place I hate, and got dumped a few weeks ago by, who I thought, was the man of my dreams! I too am seriously overdrawn, hence me spending so much time on AB, rather than going out clubbing!!! Things will get better, and as myron21 says, there's always someone worse off than you!

Put on some really GREAT music that you love, REALLY loud, and dance around singing to it!! always cheers me up! I have just worked (teaching) 8am-7pm, I've just got home and now I have to mark 30 essays on Music Censorship, get all my lessons planned for tomorrow, and transfer a video onto DVD for a class. My day tomorrow is teaching 8.30- 7pm with no breaks. I hate my life. No time to even cook dinner.... chin up!!

If my day or week is going badly I like to think that in about 24 hours I will be able to look on my past bad time  with some thought.  This means that, in the depths of despair or whatever, try and pinpoint things that will remind you of the bad times.  I know it sounds weird but it's a forward-thinking theory that I like.  So that you can look back and say 'at my lowest point it was 3pm, quite sunny, I was hungry, I missed the bus' etc. Yup, I am odd but it works ok for me.

Sorry Des, wasn't much help there though was I?  Hope the day cheered up a bit. xxx

I have just bought my first home, moved in last week and on the day I was moving in my boss rang me and told me that they company was closing and I was being made redundant.....I believe in fate though, so what's meant to be will be.

Thanks ABers for all your replies, i feel much better now.
I made a big chocolate cake, licked the spoon, went to a yoga class then watched Desperate Housewives. It seemed to work for me.

Cheer up, you could be worse! You could be me!
