Default Sorry

As you might have noticed already, lately my posts on this forum have all been whine and whine and whine and whine.

I'm bringing this forum down.

Sorry.

I hadn't noticed anything of the sort. Quite the opposite, in fact. I notice your inquisitive nature - that you ask insightful questions and seek understanding of the answers. And I like that oftentimes you ask about things I would never think to question otherwise.

But it seems you have a different perspective. Is there something in particular that you think could be generating this feeling of dissatisfaction for you?

I hadn't noticed, personally. Everybody goes through phases like this - don't be so hard on yourself.

Is something up to make you feel this way or is just a down-in-the-dumps general feeling?

The things I have written about in the last few days have been in my mind my whole life, but even more so during last one year - quite impossible to get them out of my mind. And last few weeks have been rather tiring, exhaustive and stressful for me. I wish I was fired.

Sorry.
I don't agree with you. You always ask very good, pertinent questions and I'm happy that you are here to ask them, for you make this forum much more interesting to me. I missed you a lot in the time you didn't post.

You not only contribute in an original way to the intellectual discussion here, you also add to the emotional and human value of this forum by being such an adorable sweetheart. I love the sensitive, kind and direct way you have to react to things that matter.

If these are questions that bother you, then they are important and worth to be addressed. I hope you'll find answers here and I'm glad you talked about them.

Please just be who you are, we love you.

Hey Erki,

Maybe it's time to look for a job that interests and excites you, rather than be in one that exhausts and stresses. It's not worth it! It's time to reevaluate and move on.

Default whining schmining

Erki, how I see you is: endearing, loving, fun, engaging, intelligent, committed to making a difference. I hadn't noticed any whining, either.

You wish you were fired. Are you going to allow that to manifest, or are you going to generate something else that inspires you more?

Lots of love,
Angela

I'm thinking I'll go and say the two magic words to my boss tomorrow.. In March it should be Spring already - my favourite season. Good time for strolling neighborhoods, meeting people, drinking tea, maybe even find some inspiration..

Quitting yourself > being fired. A good referral is always better then an ex-employer you have to avoid . And besides, causing trouble for others on the job so you can get yourself fired ain't very nice either.

I never said that I would cause some trouble in order to be fired. It was a half-joke anyway. It's a case of "too bad to stay, too good to go", or that there's no pressing reason to go. It's my turn to be decisive.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you said that. To me the only way to get fired is not doing your job and hence cause others trouble. Anyway, good luck. Hope you find something more inspiring .
