Do you ever experienced or felt like yesterday you were extremely happy whether you had a reunion with your family and long lost relatives and friends or you had a wonderful day with your loved one or you received a gift but after that a problem or a bad day arise? Whether it's at work or personal problem, it feels like I had paid my happiness. Last Saturday & Sunday we reunited with our niece who's been away for many many years, she was accompanied by her brother and another half brother came. Yesterday we visit our sister's house and we had a little reunion with her cousins. We stayed very late with loud laughing and taking pictures.
Today, I feel like I am paying for those happy times, as part of my job but not written in my contract, I had to DELIVER this blueprints to the clients without a car meaning I have to commute under the heat of the sun. I don't feel like going out on the field today, I just want to stay at the office.
So guys, you can share your thoughts about this.

My friend , that's part of your job so you have to do it. What's a bit of sacrifice for having had a wonderful Saturday and Sunday.
If i were in your shoes, i would not complain because anyway, i was very happy the two days before that. ![](/Content/images/emotes/wink.gif)

No, friends I don't think you understand how hard it is to get outside under the heat of the sun while you carry something kinda heavy and long papers. I don't know what style I will do to carry that blueprints while walking and holding my umbrella. It was so hot and my sweat are all over my body then I will have to enter the air conditioned building and everybody there could smell me. Do you think it's good for my health? specially my lungs? I had problem with my lungs and a lot of health issues and doing that work gives me a lot of stress which one of the reason why I didn't gain weight. Plus the fact that I am thirsty and felt that I lost so many water inside my body.
Please do not mistaken that I am not happy to have a work, I am thankful that I have a job now when I needed the most. I am in fact doing everything for my job but I guess I am abused. That job is a man's job but since he cannot afford or he just want's to hire a messenger cause I am here, we don't have a messenger.
Sure delivering in the client is easy provided that we have a company vehicle, sad that we don't and I have to walk a lot and commute while carrying those plans.

I think she's still having the "hang over " of her weekend happenings with her acquaintances.

Do not take the emotions with you at your work place leave them in your home. Do what you have really got to do for it is your job to do. Like I replied to your response last time, many people still searching and finding a job, you are lucky to have it.
Don't think that you are not happy with your work or you will not become efficient. But if you really cannot contained it and the pressure keep merging you into stress then it is time to leave your job. Have a nice day

I rarely bring my emotion or problem at home when I reached the office and likewise at home. The time I spent with my family last weekend was enough for me, I know the fact that they had to leave for their own home. I am not sad because my vacation is over, I felt so frustrated and down when I had to do the job that is really not my job. I hope you imagine your self in my shoes that time only then maybe you can understand what I go through that time. I really wanted to leave this job cause it's not good and healthy for me. I am constantly searching for another possible job but luck is not yet on my way. Once I get the opportunity, sad but I have to choose the best job and I hope it's coming very soon.

I feel happiness stays in mind. If I am happy with others that is a state of mind that I create. I do not find any special feeling to meet old friends or relatives. Rather I enjoy getting along with new and new people. I am not cutting your view, but keeping my view only.

No prob. So you are not into relatives. I am so thrilled that I saw her after a long long time. I am the one who takes care of her when she's little, now she's taller than me
. How times fly so fast, she's now a true lady.

hi laniekins, i have such similar feelings to you, but the situation is totally different. After the bad days leaving, something really good will happen. enjoying the great moment, i can't help to look back that extremely tough days, it makes me feel that if i work hard, i can really do some useful things. yesterday, i wacthed a movie named Homeless to Harvard, i remember the leading actress said, i'm gonna to work as hard as possibly i can and look what happens.
i think it depends on the way you looking at things.

Well, good for you, I wish I had that reverse experience. I always try to be positive, but I believe if it's not meant for you, it's not for you. That happens to me many many times so I couldn't say that it depends on my outlook in life. I guess that explains how tough I am as a person.

Just think of it the other way around. Don't be sad because you have to deliver something, just be happy and thankful you have work! Make it as an inspiration as you are one of the few people who's lucky enough to be able to work. Besides, at the end of the day your hardwork will be credited to you, your boss will compensate and reward you. Have a blessed day laniekins!

I hope so that he will credit that and reward me, I've done worse than that but he only sees it as part of my job but actually not really. Don't worry friends it's not end of the world, it is just another day of getting voice out my rant through writing.
Thank you for comforting me :)
