mundane Mondays!

man, I FUCKING HATE Monday mornings.. and afternoon, and well, evenings, too! I guess you can say I hate Monday all around! all day, with each passing minute of the day, I truly hate fucking Monday! and why is that!? well, its the START of a new work week and work is NOT something I enjoy doing; yes, its better than being junked out w/ no life, no nothing behind you.. but if you do not enjoy what you do then you will be constantly battling, and that is something that has taken place over the last 6-12 months!

what do I do for work!? well, I work in Software Sales. what is that you ask!? well, it speaks for itself. I SELL SOFTWARE! I work for a large Software Company and I am calling clients and POTENTIAL clients ALL DAY.. EVERY DAY! UGH! yes, just picture making 50-100 phone calls a day introducing yourself, your company and explaining why that person should be using your software over all the other software out there on the market! "Hello, my name is BostonBrownTown calling with Bluelight.org, and I am calling to introduce myself, and Bluelight, and wondering how we could potentially become a board in which you use daily". yes, those are what MOST of my calls sounds like. picture doing that all damn fucking day long!? one call after another.. just repeating yourself w/ that same fucking mundane game, esp. on mundane Mondays! ugh! this is the movie Office Space all over again; I am truly losing my mind much like he did; although, if I ever decided to rob the company for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I would not be so lucky and get away with it.. trust me, my luck fucking sucks, lol!

OK, so now what!? what does a person who truly HATES THEIR JOB do next!? well, what I have to do is continue to do the RIGHT THING; stay away form drugs, get my license back, save money, etc, and then maybe within time I can and will star to see changes being made. right now I should consider myself lucky that I even have a job considering I am late almost everyday because I must take Uber to work since I do not have a license or car to get here; same goes w/ the ride home - I spend $20/day just on a ride to and from work! yes, it fucking sucks, man! but what else can I do, ya know!? I am lucky to be making the money I make and having the job I have.. but yet I fucking hate it!? I am sure I am not the only one in this situation!

I used to think the world was all about money; money is the only thing that mattered. yes, those were once my thoughts. but being 32, and having gone through a lot of bullshit throughout the course of life thus far, I realize that money is NOT the key to happiness! the world does not revolve around money.. although it sure does help out! but happiness goes much further than you would think. sure, you may not have the money you once had but true happiness goes much further than the dollar goes! this is all something I am still TRYING to get my arms around but I am starting to realize that my life means more than the money I bring in!

OK, so let me wrap up by saying.. well, this is a drug type message board, and I am a drug addict, so I will briefly mention I did not use my "drug of choice" for over 3 weeks now; this is the LONGEST I have gone in many, many years and hoping I can keep things like that! its the first time being "out" and not using. sure, anytime I am in a jail, program, detox, I may not use for however long I am away for but FINALLY, for once, I am able to do it on my own and w/o the help of a program or others! its ME wanting to quit and change MY LIFE around!

OK, OK, OK.. enough about that!
 
Work is shit when you don't enjoy it and aren't really feeling appreciated or satisfied. Like you said though, it sure beats having nothing. Money isn't everything, but having none definitely fucking sucks.

Try to get to work on time - last thing you need this early in recovery is to get fired. Keep up the good work staying off the drugs, and perhaps look into volunteering or a hobby you enjoy to do after work? Exercise maybe? It can help you look forward to the start of the week a bit more if you're doing something you like as well...or at least stop you from dreading it as much. Break it up however you can. It can only work in your favour.

Good luck.
