i don't know why but im really depressed right now. maybe it's the winter here in michigan that's got me down ? i mean im happily married, we just had a baby. but on the down side ive been out of work for along time and it really sucks because i cannot find anything. i love x-mas and new years but for some reason im not as excited this year so far.

does anybody else get down and out in the winter months ? :(

I love the winter. The soft white snow just laying on the ground covering any imperfections on the ground. The occasional snowman, and the roar of a snowmobile. =]

Agreed. Winters here are long, and despite it getting so cold, I prefer it over summer. I find myself spending more time with friends indoors & outdoors, and the air feels cleaner.

But not right now, though. Right now it's this slush crap that comes before the actual snow, and my pants are wet. :crazy:

Yeah, I prefer the winter as well, but then again I'm an odd one like that and usually feel rather bummed in the heat of the summer. Hopefully everything will freeze stiff here soon, though. The roads are disgusting and my coat gets dirty if I even look at my car - just about any weather beats precipitation at 0?C.

Work gives a bit of meaning to life. Like you make a bigger difference in the world. When you don't work, you're more prone to sickness, depression, yadda ya...

When you don't work, you're bored. And usually you won't be happy when you're bored. Makes sense I guess.

So get out there and hunt down that job. Anything it better than nothing. It's healthy for you. :)

I don't really care for winter all that much cause it's no longer that special to me. I work full time and only get one day off for Christmas, not like when I was in school and I got a few weeks or a month. Winter now to me means that I get dripped on by cold water and snow when I work on cars.

Could be SAD?

It's quite common

might be that and lack of working getting me down too.

I would say you have SAD. YOur job situation along with the current ecinomical climate, does not help matters.

Just try to think possitive and keep yourself as busy as possible with job hunting and chores.

I suffer SAD and it gets worse because this time of year is very quiet at work, so i have more time to think, so i have to find things to keep myself occupied, otherwise i will become sad and unhappy for really, no good reason.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
