― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

twelve , will be a 13 or 14 when this stupid paper is over.

― anthony, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

15 today, 12 tomorrow, 5 thursday, 10 friday, 15 saturday, 10 sunday, 10 monday, 8 tuesday, 7 wednesday...i could go on

if we're talking average i'd guess 10

― Maria, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm hoving around 5 or 6.

― Mark, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

15 as well, possibly 16. Hell, compared to a lot of people in the world, more like 18.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Probably somewhere around 15 - 17

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

20 for me.

― Gale Deslongchamps, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

7 or 8? Not that it matters, as I'm too crap to dig myself out of the slough.

― Mark C, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

14, 15, 8, 7, 15, 3 = past six months... February is looking like an 8 to 10. I am an average of around 10.1429 I suppose.

― Honda, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About a 2 at the moment. Can change at any moment.

― Ally, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i just want to remain at 10. beware of mania.

― Gage-o, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It'll be a freaking 55 once I stop procrastinating and DO MY HOMEWORK! GAH!

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

let's draw a line between "happy" and "tolerant." i'm probably a 16 to 19 in tolerance but 4 in actual happiness, for instance.

― Maria, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

At the moment, 7 or 8. Three days ago it was more like 2, 3

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm at about a 14 right now. A lot of that has to do with the new job. There was a brief moment this afternoon where I was at 150 because of the possiblity of a free month-long trip to Japan, but that quickly crashed to a 2 when I realized I'd lose yet another job for a singing thing if I did it. Besides, I've already been to Japan.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

all round i would say 10.

the last six months i would say 1.

today in particular gets a 15.

― di, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

20+:

- L [maybe] loves me = good enough for me.

- Me + Sara = gigglier than ever

- Apple have taken so long with the repair they're sendng me a new onw (newer model? not sure)

― Graham, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dave you can't drive 55.

we're hovering around 7 now. hopefully 15+ by the end of feb.

― jess, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Discrete Mathematics acts like the cop w/ the radar gun on the highway - I am topping out at 5 right about now (with an 18 tolerance); listening to a REALLY bad emo record (oh, god, it was EMO) didn't help matters. As soon as I take a break, get some grub, play some 'puter games, I'll be back to a 12.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And bless you Jess for making the obvious joke.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have to go down to .0001:( My mom had a few mini strokes in the last couple of days, and she told me tonight.

― Gale Deslongchamps, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About 16.

― Ally C, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hard luck gale: i hope you mom gets better

13-14 probably.

― mark s, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where does "aimless and confused but not really miserable" fit into this?

― DG, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, hope your mum is OK Gale.

- Rainy loves me, and Ned is being kept at bay.

― Graham, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About 7, I think.

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yesterday = 1
one month ago = one billion
two hours ago = ranging between 3 and 9
tomorrow = 5?
in twelve days time, either: nil or 20
right this instant = unsure

― rainy, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today has been a 3. Work became really horrible and it's probably going to stay that way for the next 6 months (ie when I can finally quit).

― Nicole, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We all need to take over your workplace and give it some ILx lurve. Or something.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, most days I've probably been about a 16 it's just that I'm really very fed up with work and today was one of those breaking point type days. But if I quit right now I would have to pay back $4500 in tuition so I'm stuck.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh really rainy, 1 billion!? Yoou should really behave your self!

― mike hanle y, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Admittedly I was much more happy than anyone has a right to be, but I assure you my manners and behaviour were unimpeachable.

― rainy, Tuesday, 29 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I walk and talk like it's 16 or 17 but the truth is somewhat different. Which makes the walking and talking that much more important.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I was working the last four months or so: between 5 and 12

Right when I got laid off: a steady 5, with the occasional 12 Christmas vacation road trip: 20 Right after I got back : 5 Now : bouncing around 15 or so.

― Brian MacDonald, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i sit at around a constant 4 - any moevement is reason to worry.

― goeff, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"unimpeachable"= unable to be peachy?

― mike hanle y, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

unimpeachable = unable to eat peaches.

― rainy, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Around 18

― Dr. C, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

about 14 or 15 at the moment i guess.

― gareth, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

18.02435356

I have no complaints.

― jel, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About 7. If I don't have to think about questions like this, it'll kinda stabilize around 9 or so. If I'm home after 10pm and bored, it'll drop to,say, 6.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i levelled out to a lukewarm 10 about 2 weeks ago. i am in that common mode of thinking that i really should be doing something else with my life, but know not what.

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

16 - 17, alls for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

― Pete, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can think of lots of reasons I shouldn't be happy but I am nonetheless. 15.

― Tom, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

-10. (Branford Marsalis lampooning Kurt Cobain - "I ain't shit and I hate everybody!"

― dave q, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

10=Cousins still ill, Unas still Una (which isnt all bad), but I suppose I'm good at being pleasant anyway so maybe 12 or 13 might be more like it.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

somewhere between 5 and 8.

― Dare, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

13.

― kevin enas, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

9: less happy than I've been for a while but not at the end of my tether. Like DG, more aimless and confused than anything else.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About a 7. Something to do with no job, no money, almost no credit, injured wrist, having gained kilos and no end in sight. But I'm still pretty happy and I'm practising bowling in my hallway with a ball of scrunched up paper so I can join the local cricket team! Fun!

― toraneko, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what an interesting exercise.

Over all = 10 The last year, averaged out = 12 or 13 this week = 2

― Samantha, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today it's about 15. I don't know why, maybe because I have the day off and it appears to be a perfect So Cal day today. I'm a happy little idiot on a board called ILX.

Usually it's 8 or 9.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It *is* a great day around here, isn't it? Crisp, cold, clear, but the sun is out and you can see the snow-capped mountains without much smog around. See, this is the way to have winter -- no nasty snow nearby, but within sight nonetheless. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Around 7, plummetting to 1/2 at times, then rocketing up to 15 or so occasionally, but not much. Life is a rollercoaster, gah.

― alix, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If any of you have read "An Invisible Sign of My Own" by Aimee Bender - there is this great interaction between the main character and her math teacher who wears a wax number on a string around his neck every day. She starts finding these wax numbers in various places around the town--but yes on a scale of 1-20 right now I am bursting.through.21! happy people are obnoxious, tho, so I am sulking so people will like me.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe my 18 was a little high...I would say 16, as it gives me more room to go forward.

― jel, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But, Ned, I see the snowcapped mountains and I immediately want to head up the Angeles Crest highway and frolic in the snow with Leonard Cohen on Mt. Baldy. So there's where we differ. Still, I'm loving everything about Southern CA today. ,.,

― Arthur, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I don't know if I'm Leonard's type anyway.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am really very happy, maybe around 15 or 16. Thing is, a lot of my sunniness comes from anticipation, from having (or finding) things to look forward to, and from my deep-seated hope that things I may be *unhappy* with can be changed.

― Pyth, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd probably rate my happiness at a 12 at the moment. As with most people, it changes quite regularly depending on external forces but being ever optimistic, even when I'm really low I don't stay that way for very long.

― Penny Lane, Wednesday, 30 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since I moved to Paris = a solid 8, with hopes to moving up to 12. I'm too worried about my squalid shack falling on my face, you see _ there are cracks in the walls.

― Will, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this evening I'm down to a 10 or 11.

― jel, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Right now, 4 with a -16 anger factor, because these STUPID work PCs can't shake off these STUPID viruses. And then I'm gonna go home and clean my sleeping quarters (ick poo on the level of the Aegean Stables, apologies for misspelling). Soon, though, I will be having a b-day din-din w/ friends (what, you think I sup with folks I hate?), and then tomorrow = Beantown for some RAWK music! (I'll have to make sure my slacks are pressed.) Forecast: lows in the 12-15 range with a possible joy factor of 10; wee!

― David Raposa, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'd go with twelve overall.

though the dips and climbs are generally pretty steep and fairly regular.

― nancy b., Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

14.0021

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

10 = Things are fine but I woke up with a horrible headache that won't go away.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

last year at this time, 7.1

this year, 13.2

next, 18.5

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

This year has been hovering around 5 so far. The last couple of weeks have got a bit more manic though, even getting as high as 12 at odd moments!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm saying right now about 2. earlier I was about 4. I expect at the end of the week, saturday, I'll be at about 8.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

19. I just tried to find a keytar on Ebay, and they're all too expensive for me.

― kirsten (kirsten), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

oh I thought it hanle y's scale was out of 10.

out of 20, figures revised: 3, 5, 15.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

14.2029 as it's now time for dinner.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

12 all considered

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

10 before i ate the goat cheese

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

8 before i ate the goat cheese and started to listen to prince's second album

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine has just dropped a point because I have to go to a class now. 17.

― kirsten (kirsten), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, 18.

― kirsten (kirsten), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I meander around the teens.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

8 or 9

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I meander around the teens.

there are laws against this in some states

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

More or less like a mad, gibbering bug-eyed Ed "Big Daddy" Roth goblin (only in my case it would be Cthulhu Fink) power-shifting his way down the straightaway in the Finkmobile all tentacles flying, but cursing at a truculent transmission that won't shift into 5th.

Ummm... Does that make it a 16 then?

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

usually 12-15, w/ a 20, I think, last night.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

10 maybe still. I am a real tightfist with the marks though. 20 would have to involve gold helicopters or something.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I figure 20 is the point where I'd lose my soul and turn into Teppus, so I just want to skim the back end of 19 and leave it at that.

(There are laws against that, too.)

5, but I've hauled myself up from about a 2 or a 3 over the last few days. Next week I'm looking to be a comfortable 8 or 9.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 1 March 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

6-9. I aim for 10.

14 now, as there is a weird smell of parafin coming from outside, and I'm a little disappointed by the Planet X TPB I got yesterday.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

If we were all mechanists, determinists, or fatalists, we would rate out lives as either 1 or 20, since they would be logically equivalent.

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Around a 10. Winter 2002 and 2003 were around 2 and 3 I'd say. I think this year will be a 15.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

9 i guess

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 1 March 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, a solid 17 or 18, I think. I am almost disgustingly well-adjusted at the moment.

6, Lynskey? Good God. Get over here pronto, there's a St Emilion with your name on it.

― Matt (Matt), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm happy. I hope you're happy, too.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

It plummeted down an hour ago and then during my work break I saw a poster for a band that said "progressive brutal metal...can you say MOSH?" that skyrocketed me upward. I'm gonna say 14. 18 when I'm reading H-Dog columns off the Onion archives.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

You will probably die anyway, so go ahead and eat them.

Today is apparently the most depressing day of the year, ILE. Make with your marks out of 20 and prove by science whether this is true.

I am very chipper indeed at the moment. A 15 or 16 at least. A few things could be better but I'm not letting them bother me.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 January 2005 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

― why must we cut onions? (Lynskey), Monday, 24 January 2005 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

17, 18. I'm sending two writing-related packages out this week and emailing a couple short stories, my best friends are visiting this weekend before I go with them to New Orleans, my girlfriend's in the interview process for a job she'd love, I'm working on a recipe for black bean cassoulet, the new Beck album is fun, and I really like the Islay single-malt I picked up. All I'm short is a lottery ticket and a blowjob from triplets.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll go with 15. i have much to be thankful for. but frustrations remain, however trivial ultimately.

About 4 or 5 right now.

But the good news is, I've finally identified what is wrong, and what needs to change. I've been chasing the wrong thing the whole time.

Another Person is not going to make me happy. I need to identify my goals, then achieve them, and then that will make *me* happy. And once I'm happy, then I have a better chance of making things work with Another Person.

― Masonic Boom-Boom (kate), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

14? I haven't been that great, lately, but I just had an implausibly great weekend - best friend came up from Cambridge and we spent three days being total dorks and playing go and card games and missing our respective lectures. Hopefully current mood will stick.

x-post :(, kate. good policy though.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd say 10. I'm balancing precariously. It could go either way.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

11?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

15, i think? most things are going pretty well, although there's a few things that are minorly irritating/stressful (work, living arrangements, etc) that could be sorted out 'in a perfect world'

i was crabby this morning, but thought 'if this is the most depressed i'm going to be all year, this year is going to rock'

Mood inexplicably about 14 when it should be lower, hmm. If I could stand to go outside without immediately freezing, and if my mouth stopped hurting, it'd be at least 16.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 24 January 2005 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

18, I'd guess. Got my health, my family, some personal things are looking really good, pursuing some new writing leads, trips to look forward to, some great music already heard this year -- yay! Ain't ever going to be 20 for a long while thanks to the state of the world, though.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 January 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Off the cuff, I would say 14.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 24 January 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

In general at the moment: 16-17 (impending wedding and lovedupness, money not *desperate* for once, doing fun stuff with friends a lot, West Wing DVDs to watch, house tidy, work and study going fairly smoothly etc)

Right this minute: 9 (tired, hungry, bored, anxious, guilt-ridden, fat, achey. Something in that 'worst day of the year' stuff after all?)

about 16 or 17. sorta waiting for a couple of necessary pieces to fall into place and then it'll be more like a 19. i'm feeling very optimistic and very practical = a winning combination, i think.

― cathy berberian (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 24 January 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Gone down a point to 6. High point was lunch which brought me right up to 12. Then back to work and getting unhappy via pissed off and now properly grumpy. Not reached debilitating misery, though.

I'm around 16.

Nice show/hail storm today. Wrote an essay in a couple of hours, it'll do. I got plans. Though right now I'm about to play FIFA 2005 all evening, this will push superficial happiness to 17, but actual happiness down to 15.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 24 January 2005 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

About 10, which is good for me.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 24 January 2005 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

12 i suppose.

though it could change to 4 in a second.

All I'm short is a lottery ticket and a blowjob from triplets.

Right.on.

17, I'm about to have my first time off work in a looooong time.

― Ash (ashbyman), Monday, 24 January 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

9, i think.

Tep, done and done.

― Ash (ashbyman), Monday, 24 January 2005 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Veering wildly between about 16 and 6 at the moment, depending on whether I am being all grinny-Cheshire-cat-like about domestic bliss and my new-found inner peace, or whether I remember that I am hideously over-worked and my parents don't like me. Sitting at home in my pyjamas with a glass of South African Pinotage, and some peace while my other half prepares for his work tomorrow, it pans out slightly on the right side of 10 overall, I think.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 24 January 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

January 24 summary of ratings:

Woke up at a solid 10 -- way too numb for anything else. Throughout the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon reached up to a good 17 - 18, partly because of some good coffee I had on the drive over to work and partly because of how happy the music of The Minor Thirds' newest CD was making me. On the drive over to school, a steep descent to 5, mostly because of THE FUCKING STUPID DRIVERS ARGH FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING MORONS. After settling in at school and starting in on lessons, a good 15. The drive back home? A crashing into the 5 zone again. Once home? 19, baby -- there's no place like home.

On average? About 12. Not bad for a Monday.

― Samantha Baker (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 05:17 (twenty-one years ago)

About 3 or 4

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

8 or 9, i guess. bit of an uptick from how low i was last week. plus, i went back on meds this weekend, so hopefully this will improve things.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 06:29 (twenty-one years ago)

started off today as 14 (getting good sleep is enough to put me in a good mood these days), slipped to about 5 when i realized i had to miss a social engagement thanks to work (plus work-related fatigue, coupled with hearing about the subway fire business), stayed so for most of the night until i talked to some friends and am now back to about 12 or so. still a bit frustrated and feeling slightly aimless but otherwise life is hunky dory.

― joseph (joseph), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I have enough money to go to the pub tonight and the council tax people are no longer going to take me to court. Rock that up to a 17.

Stevem, I'm hearing you - big progress on a year ago as well. There is absolutely nothing wrong in my life that I couldn't sort out myself given a little determined effort.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

about 4 with chances towards 5?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 10:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Down .24 coz of worrying about flu pandemic's after watching the news last night. Note to self, don't watch the news.

right at the moment 15 or so. yesterday was probably 3 at the least.

Wait, 1 to 20? Like the usual 1-to-10 scale isn't accurate enough for this highly scientific measurement?

― libcrypt, Thursday, 29 November 2007 12:06 (eighteen years ago)

probably around 15 for the next few weeks while I finish out a contract that is making me a bit miserable, although all other aspects of my life are splendid. THEN 20+ while I'm traipsing around Vietnam and Cambodia for a month, then after that probably drop back but only to 18 as I'm starting my dream job.

12? Maybe? I added on a point for the fact I'm going to drink loads of free booze tonight and then took it off again for having the sort of life where this is exciting

― DJ Mencap, Thursday, 29 November 2007 12:30 (eighteen years ago)

being too tough on yourself there mencap! sounds like good cause for a point at least.

― darraghmac, Thursday, 29 November 2007 12:42 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't even factor Spurs v Aalborg into this crucial issue either :/

― DJ Mencap, Thursday, 29 November 2007 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

Prolly about an 11 to 13. Maybe as high as 14. I've begun studying for my bar exam in late February, so there's a constant, day-to-day grindo, but, otherwise, things ain't TOO bad. I would like some more time with the wife and the dog, but it's Thursday and the weekend looms.

So, by Saturday night, maybe a 16 or so.

February 29, 2008 - like, 70 million. Day after bar exam. 86 days of study to go.

― B.L.A.M., Thursday, 29 November 2007 15:30 (eighteen years ago)

Still at the same company as when I posted WAY WAY WAY upthread.

Am currently at 3.

High tens, of a relaxed sort.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 29 November 2007 15:38 (eighteen years ago)

when ned says "high tens" i just think of high fives x 2. which is all good, obviously.

― darraghmac, Thursday, 29 November 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

15 and rising

― hstencil, Thursday, 29 November 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah - 15...

As long as I remember to count my blessings, rather than think about the unattainable.

― Bob Six, Thursday, 29 November 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

Bob, you hit the nail on the nose.

It is ENTIRELY about focusing on the positive as opposed to constantly thinking about what you don't have or what is going wrong.

There's always going to be something wrong or not going as well as it could be. But that's life - you deal with it.

― B.L.A.M., Thursday, 29 November 2007 17:15 (eighteen years ago)

Let's call it a 12; will be a solid 14 once I finish the class that is making me crazy.

I'll go with an 12 today, feel better than I have in months.

― Kate, Thursday, 29 November 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

what's up, matt dc?

about 13 now, will go up by a few points over the next week though!

a cautious 12 from me here

― Just got offed, Thursday, 29 November 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

― Noodle Vague, Thursday, 29 November 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

― remy bean, Thursday, 29 November 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

maybe 5 or 6 out of 20, up about 4 points from this time last year

― wanko ergo sum, Thursday, 29 November 2007 19:39 (eighteen years ago)

Morrissey stopped being relevant some time around 1987. Life's easier you know Noodle when you accept he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
