How to be Miserable
Miser-Ability ; one’s ability to make oneself miserable is something I have long wanted to write a book about. My wife thinks its a great idea… my working title is called “How to be a totally miserable co-worker”. My follow up will be “how to be a totally miserable teenager.  Â
On Monday a dear friend sent me this link to a clever video illustating 5 ways to be miserable. Click here to view.
And if you need more than 5 will here are twenty more!
1. Use “I” as often as possible.
2. Always be sensitive to slights.
3. Be jealous and envious.
4. Think only about yourself.
5. Talk only about yourself.
6. Trust no one.
7. Never forget criticism.
8. Always expect to be appreciated.

11. Always look for faults in others.

This is wonderful. I work with a non-profit organization, and believe me, the 80/20 rule applies and then this wonderful bit of wisdom comes along. To many times people won’t help, but boy, are they there for the glory! That is most frustrating thing for me. Do you have any ideas how to cope (and kick them in the B-Hind to motivate them and get rid of the “green monsters” ? Thanks Kirk…may use this one on my blog sometime.
