    I need a reset button

    Its 4 AM Monday Morning, I pretty much blew off the weekend, Slept all Sunday afternoon / Evening
    Woke up @ 2AM. And I have been looking at the internet and drinking Jameson the past two hours.

    If nothing is really wrong with work I will most likly blow it off by 10AM and go back to sleep.

    Anyway not sure why I am typing this? but I am not doing it right. ON many levels.

    What to do.
    52 years old, single Great job but not having fun, lazy, just going through the motions. and now fucking around with the job?

    Get a hobby. Or a girlfriend. Something to kill the time?

    I usually get into a similar cycle in the winter. I only go into the office 4 days a week, and come winter some weeks go by that I get next to nothing done. I just find myself looking forward to going skiing and spend all day on TGR, watching the weather, etc.

    It's Low-T, man!

    Just kidding, but maybe it is? The starting drinking at 2 AM thing is probably not a good long-term plan btw.

    What's the problem? There are a lot of married guys jealous right now..

    Tennis, golf, cycling. Something that takes a long time during the day that you enjoy.

    I'm too lazy to try to find it on YouTube, but Louis CK does a great bit about how single, or even married people without kids should just shut the fuck up. It has stopped me from whining more than once.

    Since you're drinking at 2 am, you should take up gambling and strip clubs too

    Eesh, I get like that a lot too, only I usually don't have the option to blow off work.

    I'm naturally a night-owl, always have been even when I was a kid. My biorythms just naturally settle in at going to sleep around 2am and waking up around 10. During long periods of unemployment I end up falling into that routine. When employed, I tend to do that on the weekends which isn't good for the rest of the week. I was up 'til 1:30 last night but had to get up at 5:30 for work today, and I'll be pulling 12hr shifts all week. As long as I can get to sleep early tonight things will be okay, but since I won't even get home 'til 7 or 8 and need to get up at 5:30, it's not likely I'll be getting good sleep this week.

    Good luck, and I think I'd skip the drinking early in the morning part...

    I've tried drinking whiskey in the morning only a couple times. Not many things will screw up your life more than hard liquor in the morning.

    I bet it has something to do with you actually refraining from bitching, like that is fucking possible.

    Shit, we all go through that at some point. Except that my own examples have never involved starting to drink at 2 am on Monday. But I definitely slack off at work more than I should lately. I figure I've got two choices: (1) wait until being broke scares me into getting my shit together; (2) take a serious break and figure out if I want to keep doing what I do.

    To be fair to Benny, the thousands of times he has bitched may have caused the two times he didnt to be overlooked.


    To the OP, you should probably try pushing the pause button before you go straight to the self destruct one.
