Rough Days, Y'all!

Ooh, I am tellin' you...the last couple of days have been BRUTAL!

I rarely ever talk about work on this blog, but I have had some rough days at work lately.  Without going into too much boring detail, I have been worked to the bone!  My spirit has been rather low, but hopefully things will improve soon.

You know how it is in this economy:  Less people are required to do much more work, and it is exhausting! 

Yes, I am very grateful to have a job, so I don't want this to seem like I am complaining, but I sure hope that the economy improves enough soon that we can all stop killing ourselves in the workplace!

So what can I do for a little more calmness in my life?

Well...

By following simple advice heard on the Oprah show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Oz proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.'

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house today, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Tequila, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my Boniva prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now!

:)

I have to give thanks to my amazing Co-worker Anna, for letting me vent and never telling me to shut-up!  And for sending me this super funny joke yesterday when I needed it the most!

Here's to a better rest of the week...

Weekend, hurry the F up!

    Rough days at work usually lead to awesome workouts at the gym. I also recommend these 3 things that have never failed to get me through rough times
    1. yoga
    2. sex
    3. snapple

    hang in there bud!

    Silly Dr. Oz! From what I know about you, you are such a dedicated employee that you will make it through this.

    Hahha, one of the best jokes I've read in a while, Paul! Thanks for sharing :)

    My spirit has been rather low due work-wise lately too, so I know how you feel. Let's hope the phase passes soon!

    Wow, you must have reached enlightenment after finishing all of those wonderful items. :)

    Whenever I have a tough day, I just picture my bed, and sleeping it all away. Tomorrow is a new day.

    Goodness, with all that wine and chocolate, you must be stoned by now. Sounds like a great way to start the day - with a BUZZ! I may have to try that tomorrow.

    Paul, your blog is awesome. You need to do stand-up comedy, or at least write a funny book!

    Do you want to hear about my job? All I can say everyone have half dozen knives constantly backstabs each other. Luckily I work for fashion all the knives are studded with fake diamond. At least knives look fancy.

    Paul!

    That's what you get for spreading yourself too thin! Stop "multi-tasking" at work!
