    I went through a period where I hated my job and things were really getting me down. I read a thing that said that if you smile then you feel better about the world. It seems to work too. I can recommend it highly.

    Yay! Some more good news while I was mooching on here - someone just phoned (a mum from the school who runs a market research company) and offered me £60 for a few minutes market research stuff on the internet!

    It's because she wanted people who rent!

    So just to prove, renting really does pay sometimes. :D :beer:

    Being happy isn't the same thing as being bullish! I like to be happy.

    I love to love life.

    My life will be the same whether I'm happy or sad so I may as well look on the bright side.

    Tomorrow I'll still be unemployed and trying to live off $350/week whilst living at my mother in law's house.

    On the flip side of the coin, the forecast is good and my bike is working and there's a really nice 25km bicycle circuit just up the road from here.

    Which paragraph would you prefer to concentrate your life on old thing? I know how I'd answer.
