just in a mood, don't know which one yet

Posted: Dec 2, 2009

One would think this is the time of year when everyone is just a little bit nicer to each other, but this year I am noticing a lot more busy, angry, and rude people. Now this might be the stress of this year. I know that I have literally pennies to try to buy presents for my kids and that is really stressful. I spoke with some people and it is just like that everywhere. Has anyone else noticed people being more grumpy or just plain rude like when you go shopping or just driving down the road?

Holiday moods - Fingers

Yes - the holidays can be quite stressful. With the state of the economy it is no wonder this year. Please do not fall victim to this, as it seems contagious.

Personally, I start doing my shopping in June and July. I pick up things here and there and hold on to them. I order a lot from L.L. Bean, Plow and Hearth, and J.C. Penney over the internet. I try to have all shopping done by November and currently I have all of the wrapping done. Waiting for the next paycheck to buy the food I will need. Then I can relax and enjoy the holidays. I listen to holiday music while I work, while I clean, etc. Does wonders for my soul and state of mind.

We have had a rough year when I lost my previous job, car accident, etc. I put everything in the hands of my Lord and Savior and asked him to take care of it for me and lift some of the burden off of my shoulders. He did!!! Better than I could have ever hoped for and I understand that things happen for a reason. In all of our misery, troubles, and trials, there is always someone worse off than we are.

Remember to be thankful and give praise for your blessings.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you have to say. I have been in bad positions too in the past and I also learned that if you are greatful for what you have and give praise for your blessings, you get back so much more than ever expected. I thank Him everyday for things that I have, and even though I still have "down" times, I never go without. Bless you and yours on the wonderful upcoming season!

Went shopping when I got off tonight and no angry folks - at the stores, in fact no one there hardly

There were only 2 people in line in front of me and they were talking with each other althought not together, seemed happy enough there. There were hardly any shoppers there so no I have not run into any unhappy folks and this about does it for me as far as shopping. I hate to shop so did it all in one night.

i love Ellens Dance Dare! k so had a cousin in this past weekend and we went to the mall one day after showing him the videos off youtube and yes, we danced behind some people while shopping, just for kicks. it is seriously SO much fun to just let yourself loose for a moment :) We didnt film it but it was a little bit liberating. I've personally always thought it would be so much fun to dance through a crosswalk in the middle of downtown.... Do you love Ellens Dance Dare? Or have u ...

Four Doctors were talking to each other about who was the best patient to operate on. The first Doctor said, "The best person to operate on are librarians cause everything inside them is in Alphabetical order. Disagreeing, the second doctor announced that Mechanics were the best to operate on because they understand if you've got parts left over when you’re done. The third Doctor replied, “No, No you are both wrong, a technician is the best cause everything inside is color coded ...

I've been so depressed lately. This has been a terrible year for me, a lot of things have gone wrong in my life and to top it all off my income is steadily going down. I get so depressed that some days I cannot get out of bed and then when I go to work at my computer, I can hardly sit still to transcribe, I just can't concentrate. I've had Paxil before, and that made me not care about anything. I didn't get happy, couldn't cry, just stayed right in the ...

is my (MT-related) dx after finally visiting a shrink last week. One of these days, I'm optimistically hoping to be "adjusted" again, in a new field! Not that I'm not a good MT, I have confidence that I'm very good at what I do, but it's just -- you know. Thanks for reading. This forum is the only place I have any communication at all with "coworkers," and I can't begin to tell you how much I value it. It lets me know I'm still sane. : ) ...
