OK..its Friday and I need a little uplift. For those of you who are not happy in your current job situation, what are your coping techniques?
How do you keep up your creative juices? And by techniques, I mean in addition to complaining and drinking...got that covered. :)

going for a long walk, and ending up at a library, or a museum, or art gallery...
reading...
lots of reading...
playing guitar also usually recharges the batteries big time...
listening to good music,
having a nice lunch, somewhere nice, or relaxing..doesnt have to be expensive either..a little diner is fine, if it's comfortable..drawing...good ol fashioned, take out the pencils, and some nice paper, and just have fun....
try to remember why you got in the business in the first place..and then, to mamke you feel a LOT better,
just remember that you were born 'here', and not some place where they're shooting at you for sport...i remember back when i first started at this company, we hired a couple of serbian guys..
one was , shall we say, a tad shell shocked from what had been going on in his country...he'd just gotten to canada...and you could tell that he was still used to mortarfire and explosions and stuff...
god, i felt so bad for the guy...after about a year or so, you could see a massive, massive change in him for the better..
so.
just do all the things i said, and thank god you didn't wake up this morning to sirens, explosions, and crying...
wow...
kinda puts things in perspective eh?...

thinking that your working life is something you can change if it fucks up or is shit.
Your personal life is more important, you cant change friends and family.
Well you can change friends actually, but you'd have to be a bit of a cunt ha ha ha ha

swearing like a mofo in rushhour traffic.

i'm with chubba - go for a walk on a nice sunny evening, sit for a pint outside - then get the bus home and watch the ladies' boobies from your slightly elevated position....
ahhhh life on the number 22!!

yeah true Seph, but once in a while its good to 'interact' with female race. Beats having to to type in your credit card details...
- Seph0
Danski, LOL, its the eagerness in his eyes that got me.

you dont interact with females, they react to you and you react to them....JESUS.
now if you were to have 2 birds at the same time, interacting is a possibility.
