Does anyone else worry

[splash30]

about job, redunancy and their horses, or any other matter when you are sitting at work and have little to do?

I worry about my pony so much when im at school.... im ill at home now but worrying my pony will be too hot in his rug...

 

[karenjj]

I used to but having had it happen and survived I don't anymore, I managed ok when made redundant last time just doing any old job I could.

I worry, mostly because I'm self employed. If I lose my job I lose much more than a job...I lose 6 years of blood, sweat, tears. And yep, the horse would go too. And lost else besides. But to be honest, as much as I see that folk are being made redundant and cutting back, my industry doesn't seem too badly hurt. I'm still working and busier than I had been before. But in reality, I really should be much quieter.

i worry too- i worry about being a good enough teacher, i worry about having enough money to run my house, horse and car and i worry about my horse either when he is sound that hes growing too fast or when he's not that he will never come sound ( he is only 5 and shire x) and whether my mums cancer is progressing, yes i worry and to be honest alot over nothing!!!

Keep Smiling you all xxx

I worry often and mainly about money, having enough etc, yet I have two horses, a 'posh' car, big house, holidays to florida, so really have nothing to complain about

! Just need a good kick up the backside every now and again!

I worry more about loosing my rag at work telling them to stick it then thinking S**t now what lol I spend each day bitting my lip and every day is a bigger test on my tollerance but hey cant complain it pays the bills untill I am in a position to go solo
Its not the job as such its the ppl

I worry. Both me and OH are on small salaries, have recently bought a house so mortgage payments are hoooge (despite house beign tiny

) and I worry that if any of our bills go up I will have to give up my horse. OH was recently accused and suspended over something that didn't happen at work so I spent a week crying my eyes out thinking we'd have to sell the house, the car, Belle etc.

Now everything is ok at his work, but mine (Probation) are suffering big budget cuts and will be making staff redundant next year! Argh! If it's me I'm stuffed!

Phew, glad got that off my chest!

 

[Dubsie]

No, but then I don't (yet) have horsies.

I'm also the person to say 'what's the point of wasting energy worrying about what-ifs, I'll get on and do, and I'll cross that bridge when I come to it'

Plus I can never see the downside of anything, I always only seem to see the positives eg when a friend lost her job recently I assumed she'd be happy and said 'that's great, with your redundancy money you will have enough to set up on your own' (which she'd sometimes thought of doing when the job/company annoyed her) She didn't see it that way though, I am totally tactless!

I'm also an ideas person so can usually think of some way of digging myself out of a complete mess at the time. So if anyone needs inspiration to get out of the 'what if' deep dark hole do feel free to pm me for ideas!

OMG, its me you could be writing about. Im like a couple of others on this thread, we have two very good jobs, nice house, nice 4 x 4 and horsey transport, two horses, lovely daughter and our health. I still bloody worry about money though. I recently merged my own business with a much larger one, and tbh it was the right thing to do, I still worry about things. Oddly enough about being keeping the neds and how much they cost!

The laugh is my cup is usually half full, not half empty, must be the time of year.

 

[beckieswann]

I do worry, but I spoke to by YM and if there was a problem we'd come to some sort of agreement. I'm very lucky in that respect.

 

[Chestnutmare]

Oh god I worry if the sky is grey...i'm that kind of person, I worry all the time about Mins, if she's ever going to be OK again, is she suffering etc, I worry about money as I'm the only one bringing in a very very low wage in a job that I dont particularly like doing but I have to...still gotta pay for bills, pony, food etc and fuel my car is a sports car and drinks fuel so am thinking of selling that to get a cheap runaround...
oh such as life HUH!! for me it's all about money and surviving!

 

[Donkeymad]

I have never sat at work with little to do!!

 

[Spottyappy]

Rarely at my busy job, as no time, except whether I will hit my sales target and get a bonus!

I am very much a "live for the day" person.
Noone knows what is around the corner. I have been held up at gun point in a bank raid, and when you are looking down the wrong end of a shot gun, you suddenly realise life is too short- get on and live it.

Most people waste days of their lives worrying about things that,frankly, will never ever happen.

That isn't to say I don;t think about things like my own bad health,aging parents, my teenage daughter and related concerns plus if horse needs rug etc, but you makes the decision and if it is a mistake, live with it, learn from it and move forward.

Life isn't a rehersal!!
