The workshy

[byegad]

Every time I struggle with getting motivated about going to work I remind myself that my bank manager would be very unhappy if I didn't go

Sounds like an excellent reason to stop working!

In the past when I've had jobs that I've hated I'd just tend to doss about and entertain myself as best I could. The worst ones being in factories with no windows but several huge clocks around the place that seemed not to move at all. I'd wander off with a piece of paper in my hand or see how long I could make a toilet break last. Anything really.

try earning £6.31 an hour, motivating ones-self can be difficult, luckily I don't really have a choice as no work = no pay, no sick pay while working for an agency... still at least it's a job....

I hope you win the lottery.

I really dont think ive ever had a problem motivating myself to go to work..ever.
I must be one of those lucky guys who's always had an interesting job, no day's the same, some mentally busy, some mundane...what always amazes me is, I never really had a plan in life, just sort of grew into jobs in engineering.

I don't have a problem motivating myself for work, a job comes in and I do it, but I have huge problem motivating myself to jobs around the house, chores, decorating, cutting the grass etc. I'll get up when I wake up wheneever that is, have breakfast, a cup of tea, another cup of tea, shower, then it's time to take the dogs out, then I realise pop master is on radio 2, so I have another cuppa and listen to that, THEN, I take the dogs out, when I get back I'll have a cup of tea, by then half the day is gone, so it's not really worth starting any proper jobs by then.

A year or so back the only thing that would have made me go into work happy and smiling would be the thought that today is the day I "go postal".But not wanting to be the subject of a newspaper article with "...before turning the gun on herself" at the end of the first paragraph I decided that a better way would be to find a job I was happy in. It was not easy, but a bit of hard work got me there, among things of great beauty and people who are not just happy in their work but passionate to the point of eccentricity about it.

Every day I wish I didn't have to get up at 6am ride 5 miles & spend 10 hours repetitively feeding a machine some metal tube.
