Do you ever get the "I can't be bothered" feeling? [Archive]

Yes, far too regularly, and too often involving work. :(

Then I have to work ridiculous hours (like now) to at least make it look like I'm making progress.

Often. I just don't fight it and eat.

I've been meaning to get a glass of water for nearly an hour now, i think it'd be pretty accurate to say i'm having one of those days.

[EDIT] Sod it, i'm gonna go for it, wish me luck.

Yep, but not nearly as much as my housemates that have it EVERY DAY, which means nothing gets done until I throw a strop and make lots of noise.

I just try and plough through it, and like will I eat. In order to eat I have to cook and that usually pulls me out of it :D

Lost count how many times I've done that (though that does make it sound worse than it is - don't do it very often).

There's a load of study into it to do with brain waves, sleeping cycles, hormones, but in summary it's normal to have blue periods. In fact I read somewhere that people who are *always* in a good mood, genuinely can often be setting themselves up for a big crash later in life. No idea if it's true, but was an interesting read and it went someway into explaining the whole middle life crisis thing, and how some people become so depressed and insecure they do life changing things, whereas others, it's just another birthday.

What if we're not sociable people?

I'm happiest when I'm on my own, in a dark room with the temperature below 16°C - sadly, that doesn't happen often.

yes I admit you are better with your pills, if I give you loads of pills does that mean you will be super bothered and do EVERYTHING that you couldnt be bothered to do Faysh? :p

Depends on what it is and what mood I'm in. A lot of things "I just can't be bothered" with whilst others, I'll jump up and do them straight away. I actually think I've been a lot better since I started training and eating better. My energy levels are higher.

Kreeeee

Very rarely.

Its actually quite sad that so many of us feel that way so regularly. I have the odd moment of it myself, mine main mood at the moment tends to be flashes of blind panic due to not being able to find a job, and wondering what the hell im going to do, but I get the "Oh what is the point" feeling as well.

Shall we club together to buy a plot of land, so we can all live together and cheer eachother up! :D

Yes yes yes. I don't know why, but I have such a pull to live in simpler times. When I can go hunting and make things out of wood.
And if it's hot with a sandy beach with lots of seafood to catch even better.

Normally happens for me at work when the weather is crap all day till about 4pm, then brightens up, meaning people can fly up till 8pm :(

Why can't it be the other way round and have crap weather at the end of the day.

I've been feeling like it a lot recently but I think it's down to not being at uni. I'm so bored and can't wait to get back to it! My job just doesn't fill up enough of my day to be distracting enough and I can't be bothered doing housework/anything before I leave in the morning or after I get back in the afternoon :(

Fayshun

I could quite happily do that. Get a group of nice people and live on a dessert island somewhere to fend for ourselves :D

I'm playing snes instead...:o:)

Wouldn't be so bad, but once re-assembled it's going to have many hours of colour correction, sound editing, digital image cleanup *on the VHD/Laserdisc sourced material*, sound cleanup....

Then finally a test render to 3 dual layer dvd's... then I will sit down and watch it with the notepad and make notes about its appearance and audio quality before going back and switching some elements out, changing levels and who knows what else...

Then another test render....

aaaand repeat.

SNES is good. My SNES has stopped working and I haven't got round to stripping it to fix it yet. So the N64 is linked up instead. :D

Urgh I am literally counting the time until I leave this job!!! Last day is on Friday so I literally cannot be bothered to do anything now! I am doing the bare minimum amount of work possible!! WHY IS TIME STANDING STIIILLLLLL THOUGHHH!!!! :( *hmph* Not fair.
The less you do, the longer your day will seem. Crack on with some work and watch the time fly by. After all, I assume you're still being paid :p

Princess Griff

19-08-2009, 22:01

I am still being paid, but I have to teach the new girl....so I just teach her to do something, then she spends half hour doing it! During that waiting time i have so far made us both a gazillion cups of tea, tidied the entire office and done everything i can to pass the time!!!
