    I broke the cycle last week: took a day off, great.

    I sent in my invoice this morning, and wouldn't you know it, takings are 20% down. I'm going to have to have a word with my staff.

    What can I do to break the cycle?
    Go in one morning and shake everyone by the finger?

    it's cold and we're in winter months. if you have no girlfriend then invest in a games console (xbox, ps3 etc.) and Full HD LCD TV

    or

    download World of Warcraft and join a whole new world that wastes literally hrs from your life in the blink of an eye

    or

    goto nearest meat market bar, pick any girl, say hello, buy her a drink, repeat buyign of drinks until things become very fuzzy, suggest something to eat and/or coffee

    or

    goto http://www.lonelyplanet.com pick a country that looks nice, reasearch about it, give notice of "unavailablity" at work, book flight, see the world

    HTH
