jumping out of my skin

[Jeffro]

so ok, i'm in my office this morning and its slow, so my mind is wandering. does anybody ever get the feeling of boredom in life? or perhaps feeling like your at a standstill? don't get me wrong, i love my job, but i just feel as if i could be doing something bigger and better with myself. why can't i just quite my job and go do something else thats bigger than myself? what am i afraid of? i know its not that easy, i own a house, have bills, getting married, etc... but you know what i mean. i don't even know a word to describe it? antsy perhaps? i'm not stressed or worried about getting married, b/c whatever i do i want to take kelly with me. i think i want that feeling of uncertain excitement perhaps? Like to just be out there and doing it, whatever "it" is. I guess to be more specific, i'm talking about my profession, i'm really good at it and i'm now the #2 salesman after only 3 years of competing against guys that have been here for 15 years plus. But i dunno it just isn't satisfying.

Ok theres my little rant of the day, hope yall enjoyed lol.

I think thats very normal. I went through (and still am) something similar. I have friends who have gone through the same.

You are young, you hit the workforce, you did a kick ass job, having fun and all that.... but then, after a few years of doing it, you really start to wonder if this is something that you want to do for the rest of your life, that you need something different but not sure what. Fear of being stagnent.

I think our minds are just going through an adjustement period. The novelty of working, living your life, with your own family and making money is starting to wear off so we start to wonder.

I know what you are feeling, just have no idea how to really put it. haha

Mid life crisis already Jeffro? Go out and buy something shiny

[Jeffro]

i think i want to take 2 weeks off work, get in my car and just drive and see where the road takes me.

[BigTwinky]

I had a friend who did that last year. Got on his motorcycle and went from the East coast to the West coast of Canada, down to California and then diagonaly up back towards Montreal.

He was gone for 2 months, alone. He didn't have a girlfriend and had 2 months off of work (he works for the school board and had 2 months off in the summer), so no major commitments

Stay away from PA, we have guns

Now I know those brows and speedos are getting you a lot of fun already, don't they?

[Jeffro]

ahhh i had lunch and i'm feeling better... i dunno what was up with me this morning... had too much time to think lol.

[jeffro74]

lol,i know the feeling

[K PhaNTOM]

wait wait wait, there are 2 jeffros? wth? So which is the one with the brows, and which is with the speedos? seriously, im confused....

[Trooper110]

Jeffro has the brows and the Speedo. He was the original Jeffro and does not play CoD4. Jeffro74 is the "new" Jeffro, he does not have brows or a Speedo (to my knowledge at least, and if you have a Speedo, keep it to yourself!!!) and plays CoD4.


Also, please note, the fact that I am better looking and smarter than both combined does not help matters

[Jeffro]

i'm the one with the brows and speedo lol...

Oh, All this time I have been making fun of Jeffros74's speedos and he doesn't answer, I thought he was being a jerk lol. OK, no more speedos jokes for 74, jeffro, I love them speedos, they make a great wallpaper

Thanks T

Just make sure you don't watch Office Space or Falling Down while you're in this mood. I have made that mistake before and the temptation to either quit everything and take a simple job that doesn't require thinking or just go completely apesh*t becomes overwhelming.
