Rewarding yourself

[Elios]

How many of you, after doing something productive, or helpful, reward yourself? Now i'm not talking about helping some lady cross the street, and she gives you a shiny nickel, that's someone else rewarding you. What i mean is, after completing something, such as a homework assignment, project, or whatever, you get yourself a little gift, or do something that you like to do.

Today, i spent the day wandering up and down Main St looking for a job and filling out a bunch of applications. My last stop was "The Irishman", a nice little restaurant down the street from my house, I filled out the application, and conversed with the hostess for a little while, and i felt pretty proud of myself about really looking hard to find a job today, so i bought some Guinness BBQ wings.

I try to reward myself with something equal to the amount of work that i did. (except that one time when i bought a sword after doing Jury Duty...). It keeps me from procrastinating if i know i'm going to get/do something i like.

TL:DR Elios is eating BBQ wings. Shit was so paid in cash.

I'm trying!

God damn economy, or whatever!

I always try to do something useful... It makes me feel useful... lol

No, really, but I always reward myself with candies and chocolates...and I know I should not, but I love to eat them...and I do the same like you, I give to myself as much reward as I think I earned...

With the way our economy is at the time, there's no way you can get a job easily. Not trying to bring you down, but what with the recession and whatnot, I doubt that you'll get a job.

Good luck on getting that job though!

I go and relax after working hard. It's the best reward.

The only way I know how to reward myself, after working or doing something useful for someone else is by hopping into my nice fuzzy bed and napping for a bit.

When I graduate, I'm buying myself a katana and a Shoge.

I don't understand why the links to Wikipedia...Like, none here knows what a Katana or a Shoge are?

Anyway...

Good luck getting a job to the OP.... It will be hard but don't give up, you'll find something soon :)

You'd be amazed. I just linked to em just in case. It's not too much work to throw in a reference to something like that, so why not? It also makes your post appear more intelligent.

I didnt know what a shoge was ;o

And I buy myself junk food, like a slurpee or doughnuts.

I understand your pain, dude--I was laid off in February. Looks like I may be going back to school though.

Rewarding myself was important when I still had my job, because a lot of times I had to put up with a lot of shit. One time I bought myself a spa package. I didn't know the spa existed until I had to run inside to get out of the rain. Most of the time if I reward myself, it's small things, like going out to a restaurant, buying some food I like, like ice cream, a bubble bath, or a new video game.

Now, I generally need to keep some sort of reward system to keep my sanity. When I got my acceptance letter, I went out to a restaurant. That sort of thing.

Well, before buy one send me a PM...My grandfather was a japanese craftsman, an he thought me the art of make swords...I have all his stuff saved and I would make Katanas and knives when I have spare time...I'm not saying I can make you one, because I only make them with special steel brought from India and it's pretty expensive to pay them (Also, I'm so fucking lazy that to make a single Katana I would need 2 months) However, I can always give you advice before buying anything with a nice shape and steel ;)

And i thought i was the only one...

After a hard days work, I usualy come home and play x box for a minimum of 45 minutes, and eat,

and every time i finish a song, i get drunk :d

[sjh09055]

Yeah i either play video games, read manga, or allow myself a chocolate bar/smothie

This, I will do. Though I plan on having my katana hand-made the old fashioned way. With lots of folding and time. Perfection takes patience after all.

My grandfather would make them old school... Hand made and all that shit... We went once to India and we bought almost 100 kilos!!! (220 lbs) He never used it all, I still have some of that steel here.. I'll take a picture to his workshop and all his stuff later...

You should totally spend some time on making a high quality sword that has NG engraved on the base of the blade. I'd buy it.
