Need Advice
This is my first blog, so please be gentle.I would have to say, that more so over the last two years, I feel like I'm becoming like a grumpy old man. Now I don't see myself as old, yet, but I'm not getting any younger.
I use to be quite a patient man, and it would take a fair bit to get me annoyed or feeling quite angry, but now days that is not the case. I don't like feeling this way, for it's not healthy, and at the end of the day, it's me that feels bad. No, I don't snap at everybody, most of the time I bite my tongue or mumble something under my breath. I know that it is mostly to do with work, and some of the people I have to work with. The lazy and inconsiderate, who only think of themselves, continually ignore the right things to do, which makes my day frustrating. Sometimes this happens at home too. I don't need to go into details, but I was taught to do the right thing by people, and pretty much 100% of the time, that is what I do, unless I get disrespected by someone, then I'll go, nah stuff ya, why should I. But then when the frustration has died down, I feel guilty. Stupid I know. It feels like, well I've done all this for you, and what are you doing for me? Nothing.
I'm kind of sorting my job out, as I told my supervisor that when I find the right job, I will be leaving. The problem is, finding the job that best suits me, and if I need to be working with other people, they have to be like myself, respectful, not lazy and understanding.
All the people that know me well, know what kind of a man I am, kind, friendly, honest, loyal, intelligent and slightly eccentric.
Some of you on here have gotten to know me through the threads and blogs, even then, they only know me by so much, which is okay, because this is the internet.
I want to be happy, and not feel frustrated by people, whether it's their laziness, lack of respect or even just being plain stupid.
Any suggestions are welcome of course. And thanks in advance

It may seem impossible to be happy with a job that you may dislike or the people that you work with...but until that dream job materializes or you have an epiphany...find something outside your career that makes you want to get up in the morning or brings a smile to your face...sounds corny but it may make you less grumpy and those around you may appreciate you for what your worth...just my opinion...
Mrwilling? Was that an attempt to be funny?
I didn't find it funny.
See? Insensitive.
So many people can excuse many negative behaviors, but the feeling of annoyance is too high.
Sounds painful!!
Everyone is a comedian...I hope what I said helps...
If I were to have a go at you , it would be quite clear.
Just to have an understanding of who I am, I would say whatever to your face, I am not a cyber coward.
Good...glad to hear it...laughter or humour is the better part of life...it deflects alot of negativity!!
Have you tried reversing the polarity
I always seem to find away of laughing in the end though BUT DOC help me how to mend my
What is going on in your world?...good I hope!!
Its kinda overcast here.
Happy St Patrick's Day
Although I do wish you luck looking for something that will make you happier.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to you...I am drinking green wine...
I hope you bought it that way Fresh, and didn't just find it under the cooker or something.
Heres what happened the last time I drank old cooker wine
Who said Patrick chased all the snakes from Ireland.
How are you keeping.
I totally get it and for me, I think it has to do with getting older and wiser. I don't suffer fools the way I used to, little patience for rudeness and intolerance...and that's just fine. I'd rather expend my energies and love with those who are good to my children and I. You can't please everyone
I have the same problem in my job. I am in sanitation and I clean huge kettles and large vinyl containers that are used in the manufacturing of food.
People don't care what it is they are actually doing. They damage, break, re-use containers barely washed when I'm not around.
When I get there I start cracking the whip and they get completely defensive and they ask me, "Wha's wrong with you"?
I think it's the job stress!
candykid: It's not easy when it feels like knives are continually been thrown at you, (not literally)
nonsmoker: Reversing the polarity of the neutron flow didn't work. Maybe I should rebuild K9 and get him to stun a few people
Redex: Thank you. At times I feel I have lost a part of myself along the way. I think in a way, it started when my mum passed away nearly 9 years ago. She was my source of listening when I needed some good advice.
Abagail: Thank you. I hope so too. And soon.
CailinCallaghan: Good morning. Yes, being creative is great way to heal yourself, sometimes I have used this and it does help. Luckily I am an artist
Whiteisfresh: My current job is quite a demanding and physical, and by the end of the day I am knackered. Having the energy to do things to keep my mind off negative people can be difficult, and I know that I am in a bit of a rut, but soon I hope to fix this mate
Angelpepper: Thank you. Hopefully it won't be my last
unlaoised: Hey there friend
Ed1941: That's it Ed, the lack of pride in the workplace is becoming widespread and no one cares if they are lazy, because they know that other people will pick up the slack for them.
123butterflies: Hmmm... I'm not that kind of Doctor
green beer?
