Happy things to do whilst working

put something more upbeat on. i've found that i'm way more up for work in the morning when i've been listening to subliminal sessions 2 on the way in than when i've had something downbeat on.

the only fun thing i do at work here is sit in the library listening to dance music and then look up and realise that everyone is staring at me cos i'm dancing along to it in my seat (when i'm thinking my body just does what it wants to; i half suspect that if i'd been born ten years later i'd've been diagnosed with add).

at work in imperial fun things to do = attacking officemates in the corridor, generally behaving like 8 year olds boys, that kind of thing. i miss that kind of atmosphere...

i just sent an email i probably shouldnt have done. this will make me more sad still when it doesnt get replied to

Yeah, try putting the radio or even the TV on - the suprise element can be more heartening than listening to something you've heard before.

Also, have you tried developing a stalker-like interest in the goings on at he house across from your window?

That said, tackling a work assignment and getting it off one's desk gives me pleasure.

If that doesn't work, and it usually doesn't when I'm swamped, I just start taking care of one task, regardless of how I feel, and somehow my malaise is subsumed by the task @ hand, and I reach a state of emotional equilibrium teetering on vague euphoria @ tasks' end.

Posting to ILX while working is the best way to maintain and cultivate a depressive stupor.

I'll second that! It's a very good thing. And I hope you feel better soon, Anna. :-)

...and your bladder in check.

Isn't that always the BEST bit about going home!

can you not see them more often? you got a lovely reply, thats a good sign isnt it? i get no reply:'(

(email me if you want advice on how to handle it all the wrong way, i know the right way now, because its the polar opposite!)
