Odd question. Most of the shrinks or “art of existence” courses ask you to think why are you sad? Why are you angry? Why are you P.O ? However, oddly enough I have been asking myself…why am I happy? It’s more like How come I’m happy? What’s wrong with me?
My job is a joke, I'm perpetually broke!
Let me explain.
Being the typical Engineer-IT slave, most of us…well at least I am in a perpetual state of anger and depression. I suffer from “perfection-driven-disorder: ( PDD???? P Diddy????).
It’s the new medical term. It happens when a person keeps on cribbing because they find fault with everything. Now, the Medical community can’t label us as “Pain in the A**” people who just complain. Hence, the polite terminology.
But of late, for the most odd reason, I haven’t complained about anything. I have actually been in a really good mood. And I don’t know why? I have found an odd spring+skip in my walk. I find myself smiling for no apparent reason. ( Sounds psycho!) One morning, after complaining about the terrible cab facility my office provides, I stepped into the office, the usual environment where everyone gives you a weak smile. Best smile I got was from the poor fellow who’s shift I was taking over. Anyway, sat at the desk, plugged in the I pod…and I don’t know why…all of a sudden I started singing loudly. With my ‘Frank Sinatra’ voice, I got quite a few stares.
But never the less, I just started feeling good inside. And the feeling has lingered ever since. Like a bolt from the blue, I was out of my blues.
The past few days has been A-MAZE –ING…. I went for my first buffet in almost a year.( Please refer to run forrest run….)! And the food was ….DIVINE!!!EXQUISITE!!! Was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! ( Someone is getting hungry again). And that was just fuel to the fire. Had so much to eat that I was happy and content like a nice fat pig.
And the day after that, I went to the newly opened ‘Hard Rock Cafe’. And by George, It was A-MAZE –ING! The music, the drinks, the guitars on the wall…the fine women! It was just too brilliant. Second round of adding fuel to the happy fire.
Two days of great company, great food and drink ,good music! Recipe for happiness!
But what I find worrying is the fact that I was happy even before all the partying started!
And from a total foul mood to one of sheer happiness in an instant, I’m a bit confused why this is so?
Why? Why? Why am I so happy?
Any one can explain this unknown phenomenon, please let me know!
FYI, i still work shifts in the same job and pay has not gone up.Lifestyle has not improved.....And i did NOT get some if you know what i mean!!!!
I'm sure someone out there is just feeling happy for no apparent reason. The truth is out there! O' Scully, where art thou?????
