Years ago it used to be a joint or a few shots of my favorite stiff alcoholic beverage.

I think to myself that I really prefer not having creditors call me and that my wife and puggle are counting on me to have a place to live. That pretty much does it.

I just had my Sirius radio turned back on, so, listening to Howard Stern on the way in usually helps lighten the mood.

I take a shower, get dressed and go to work. I am not sure what there is to get pumped up about.

I think what OP means is how do you get ready and motivated to go to work. Could be wrong though. In that case, listen some Queen anthems on the way in.

I tell myself "it's just 8 hours and then I am free again!" That usually does the trick.
