What cheers you up?

Work is rough recently for the company as a whole. I have no idea how much longer I will be employed, though I'm not super concerned about finding something else. In the meantime, I am dealing with some intense negativity in the office and I find it to be very hard to be productive. 

What do you do to cheer up?  

Re: What cheers you up?

  • I am in the same boat with my work.  Though, my job is secure, we've endured salary freezes, benefit cuts, and pay cuts.  I would say drinking cheers me up, but I'm trying not to go that route (too much at least).  I've been working out more and have actually lost some weight, so that's making me really happy. I've also made a point to associate socially with non-work people so I don't spend all my time rehashing work.  In other words, lots of distractions. 
  • A good book and some ice cream.  My snuggling with my puppy works wonders too!

    Hope things turn around for you.

    good music. 

    trashy tv. 

    a good workout will probably make you feel better right?

    No, half!

    I went with some good music (dark, a little emo, it's oddly uplifting) and I'm having lunch with Donald so yay! 

  • A McFlurry or a Blizzard.   Works almost every time.  Yesterday didn't count, when the McDonald's people forgot that you have to actually mix the stuff in.

    Stopping to get a Starbucks on the way to work

    This used to work for me on the way to work.  It'd make me happy everytime I went to grab for a drink :)

  • I'm sorry about your job. 

    For me a trip to a book store, good coffee, red wine or getting my hair done can help lift my mood. 

    Currently I am super edgy/crabby (for no apparent reason) so I am going to see if a cup of hot chocolate can help.

  • Do something fun!  For me that's usually shopping and crafting.  Bonus if it's shopping for craft stuff.  Which is probably how I ended up dropping $70 on fabric.com this week...
