Do you ever get that fright then instant relief when you realize you don't have work tomorrow?
Yeah. I sometimes get anxiety all day over having work in the evening. But to be fair, anxiety is just my general state, so not just related to work. I hate myself for getting stressed over pretty much fucking everything, but I guess that's life.

I'm similar, I just have developed rather solid coping mechanisms. Hang in there, baby. You can do it!
But seriously, find something, anything that can alleviate that stress. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that you're stressed and claw and scrape at anything that can take even a smidge of that off of you. Sometimes sleep isn't an option. :T

That's what alcohol is for. It both makes you forget any work and then have a great excuse to call in sick next day.

Working hard is nothing to make fun of, but pay attention to yourself!
So if you get stressed out just from (the thought of) work, you might need to take a step back and look at all the options.
Hang in there!
One of my favorite quotes is "work never stops by working"

I'm an animal of stress and I do my best to keep myself content and under control for the most part. The worst of it is passive aggressive comments that may offend my co-workers and then I have to deal with that damage control. Not worth.
But I've got a good bunch of people around me in a stable enough, functional kitchen.

Whats that saying ? If you find a job you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life
If you are not happy - do something else. I understand its harder said then done. But it's something to strive for

I can already tell you it's not enterily true :P I have a job I love and I work harder than I ever did. And I mean it still feels like work. It is very satisfying when things go in the right direction though.
I would also be careful in turning your passion into your job – once you start getting money for your passion it will not be the same joy you used to feel. It'll be completely different kind of satisfaction. Not saying it's worse or better. It's just different. Just ask yourself if you want to feel different about it :)
Sounds like I'm talking to you specifically but in reality I was just sharing my experience with whoever thought about these kind of things.

Good point, I agree totally
Life isnt just black&white and there are no definite truths. And same applies to my comment
I personally finished a degree in engineering. I like fixing cars and tinkering around them. But I cant stand working on them professionally. Working on clients car always feels forced and just ruins my day.. Same goes for photography - Its a hobby of mine for many many years. But when I get hired to do professional photography for money - its no enjoyment again. And Im still looking for a way that I can make my hobbies and stuff I love into something that can be of profit to me but not limit my "creative" persona in the way.
But I know guys who just love fixing cars no matter who owns them and I know photographers who have opened their own studios and are happy as can be when hired to do professional photoshoots.. Its all relative to the person

Absolutely agree! By the way, maybe you want your passion to stay a passion and there's no reason to force it? It's totally fine. Or maybe you need to find new way of enjoying it. Hard to tell. As we already estabilished, it's very subjective!

Actually I do improv mostly :) I work on my stand-up material recently too though. My plan is to be excellent in improv, stand-up and writing sketches.
You have a nice improv theatre in Austria as far as I know. One of my favorite improvisers, Jacob Banigan, lives there! If you'll have a chance, watch his solo show Game of Death! What is GM? :) And comedy skills are something you can learn! For example I was very shy and anxious when I started improv.
Funny thing is, I thought I got 2 messages from the same person and responded only to the last one. And I was like 'Why do they say it's cool in both messages? Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter!' xD

Thats pretty cool
What kind of comedy do you do ?
Friends always tell me I like to talk a lot and I that I get too much into details for some topics, so I should go and lecture at Uni.. I actually have thought about trying that out as a guest lecturer while working daily job..

By the way, I get too much into details as well :D If you like teaching other people it is a great experience! Especially when they come to you and say they've learned a lot and enjoyed time spent with you.

When I studied I contemplated going to student theatre. But I remember that we were warned that the head actor there was a bit crazy and overenthusiastic and took all the acting a bit too far and it usually got in the way of studies so somehow I just dropped the idea..
But Ive been interested in entertainment for a while now. I love standup and I think I might try to write some material (as Im already into writing). Maybe start out with some youtube videos with movie or game reviews. Or what Ive wanted the most as I am automotive industry already - do some vehicle reviews.. But time will tell what will happen :D
Btw, you should redirect the question part about GM and Austria to TheCthuluKid :D

And I was wondering why I got 2 messages fromt he same person, lol :P Thanks for the heads up!
The best advice I was given about starting in stand-up: sign up to open mic, and then write a material :P Once you have no choice, you'll do it. It really worked for me :)
I think vehilce reviews might work too! There are a lot of people who are into cars and I think you might grab their attention :)

Forget about how many games you have, and just pick one.
I learnt too much time was wasted buying games, collecting games, idling games, and then complaining I don't have time to play them or not knowing what to play.
You actually have a lot of time to play games ;-)

Basically all my thoughts are now work and I hate it, please save me.
Poll please.
(Also, I've got some Final Fantasy giveaways going on right now but I'm not going to link them because they're already public and doing that's frowned upon or something.)
