Motivation

Post by PostmanPat007 »

Any tips to help one to wake up ready for another day of work? I know it is the kind of question that is reserved for A.I? Maybe watch something, read something, or some exercise? For example I used to watch the film Novecento
when I started as it deals with class struggle and strikes in Italy it also displays working people in a poetic but fresh way https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_(film).

Any tips?

What time did you get up to watch Novecento? It's a long film as I recall.

I just have a coffee and stare out of the window for a bit.

Have you tried Il Postino?

Just a glance at the share price going up should propel all of us to ever greater levels of physiological destruction knowing we'll surely be rewarded handsomely by the profit sharing scheme :crazy:

I love going to work ,i just love the feeling of pissing off the boss leaving loads of loops knowing he cant do nothing about it,i love the anger in his face looking like he is going to explode,do i have sympathy,of course not if he hasn't got the balls to stand up to his boss its not my problem.Its the only thing that keeps me going knowing that these urchins who have gave us grief for years are now getting it too,its easier than ever now i hardly do any walking :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

I think these days if the screws stand up to their boss, they just get moved on straight away
