What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning?

[tony hardware 0]

This question was posed in one of my business school classes last night and all the cornballs were like, the challenge I get at work, striving to be better, wanting to succeed. I raised my hand and wanted to call everybody liars. I said my paycheck, my bills and knowing I'm going to get a fat pastry when I get to work gets my fat arse out of bed each morning, you lying bastards.

 

So what motivates you people to get out of bed each day?

Having to take the morning pi$$. If it wasn't for that I may not get out of bed.

The voices in my head ordering me to kill.

Cleaning the crust of your mom off of me.

What a bunch of ass-kissers you have to deal with. I'd like to meet the complete tool that wakes up every day and says "I can't wait to strive to be better today."...

 

Not getting fired is the reason everyone wakes up during the workweek.

On weekends, the reasons are different. Hanging out with friends, yardwork, football, can't sleep anymore...etc.

Honestly, I have had two jobs where I can definitely say that the sheer joy of doing the work got me to go. I think it's possible but it just isn't all that frequent.

You a porn star? Professional Bowler?

[Guest Black Label Society]

Morning Wood, or painfully swelled bladder.

 

Both I am thankful for.

 

Wood: Means I can still get it up

Bladder: Means I didn't piss the bed.

I wish but nope. Just had a kick-ass group of people to work with twice in my life. But yeah, most times, it's been: you gotta do what you gotta do.

I love my job right now. I wake up, and don't at all dread my work day. I enjoy my work quite a bit. But, there has not been one day where I woke up a did a focking cartwheel around my bedroom because I was so pumped up to "strive to be better"...

 

Just saying, Tony Hardware was right in calling out the other people who were obviously saying whatever they thought the instructor of the class wanted to hear.

Have you ever tried staying in bed all day? At some point you just get antsy.

I didn't say I was getting up to strive to be better while working with these two teams but getting up wasn't a grind at all.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at right now...

 

Just saying his classmates are looking for kudos from the instructor, that's all.

Agreed...Unless I am really sick, it is hard to stay in bed all day

You can strike this all up to one thing:

 

Fear of failure!

The chance to drive up my post count.

Been going thru a bit of a depression lately, so it's taken quite a bit for me to get out of bed in the mornings.

 

[Team Revell 0]

Because if I don't get out of bed, I'll eventually sober up to the point that looking at the wildebeast sleeping next to me will be me a heart attack.

Sorry to hear that.

[TheNewGirl 1,031]

Sorry to hear that.

 

Yeah, it's been rough, but I will be okay.

The possibilities of what life just might have to throw my way that day.

The opportunity to spread a little joy into everyone's life.

 

work and family obligations

[Cdub100 3,384]

The hope that maybe this is the day I get hit by a bus

[naomi 343]

The possibilities of what life just might have to throw my way that day.

 

Agreed. That (at least the good stuff thrown) and needing to be at class on most mornings. Today I have nowhere to be, wasn't sleeping, thinking about things with a guy that I broke up with the other day. The morning is peaceful, and coffee is good, got bored laying there.

[ArnieBragg 1]

Yeah, it's been rough, but I will be okay.

 

Postpartum depression?

[TheNewGirl 1,031]

Postpartum depression?

 

At this point, I don't know. I am 8 months post partum, and it seems to be more that there are specific events that trigger it (it's called dystymia and I have been diagnosed with that in the past, but not within the last 5 years or so).

I am still breastfeeding, and my normal body, ahem, "cycles" are not normal, so the hormones are still a-ragin'.

 

So, I think it's a few different things, but most days, staying in bed with the covers over my head is what I would LOVE to do.

By the time they do win one, they'll be the Anaheim Cardinals, and you'll be seriously disappointed.

I somehow some way keep comin up with funky azz hits like every single day.
