I mean when you can't go out and smack people who irritate you. Like everyone with the title "boss." And you don't have a secretary to annoy with coke can stacking habits. Why, oh why, can't we beat the stupidity out of customers? Yes, when it's hot enough in a place to make you break out into a sweat in under 60 seconds, it's generally safe to assume there is not A/C available.

*beats head on desk*

I swear, if the StudMuffin doesn't get here soon, I'm going to join him in looneyland.
 
You can always stack customers in coke cans, sexy..... of course it cuts down on repeat business.
 
Things I do/use to deal with stress.

~Medetation
~Writing
~Listening to music
~Reading
~Go for a walk (especially wooded areas as apposed to city streets)
 
I usually walk or write. However if there is someone that is angry and trying to piss me off I just turn the tables and be as kind and sweet as can be. See, that just bothers them more and then I can walk away and laugh to myself. *smiles*

Ooooh, and long hot bubble baths. That always relaxes me.

BUT, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, once the cans are loaded send them out for recycling. Otherwise you will end up with clones of the buttheads.


yes, retail sucks.
 
I'm for anything that cuts down on repeat business. And if one of you Wallyhell CSMs are reading this, I didn't do it. I wasn't even there!
 
Geeze KM, now you've got me missing Sheila and her "anal retentive" buttons.

Its a VERY bad thing when Expertise gets bored.

You can't??? Oops guess I need a new approach :(

I hear chocolate helps.

I have a punching/kickboxing bag. I imagine the annoying person's face/body and let loose. Very therapeutic. Plus it keeps my arms and legs in great shape.
 
Ooo!Ooo!Oooo!

I almost forgot!

Recreational sex!
 
*sigh* I even had to put on panties yesterday. Today and tomorrow too. Probably Monday and Tuesday as well.
 
The most stressful job I ever had was working the camera counter in a drug store, if some rude butt-fuck really got under my skin, there was always a big case of HI-DRY's in the back room you could put your fist through, and return to the sales floor refreshed.

Is there a store room in your office where you can mount a speed-bag?

If not, you could go to the Lit board and insult somebody. Just a thought.
 
My methods of dealing with stress:

  • Sex
  • Excercise (running or weight lifting)
  • Meditation
  • Sex
  • Smoke a cigar
  • Sex
  • Reading
  • Listening to or composing music
  • Sex
  • Sex
  • Taking a vacation from work

Oh yes... and... SEX!
 
I've found going over to the pistol range with my 9mm and a picture of whoever is really agrivating me to use as a target works wonders for my mood.

Yea, those are pretty much mine too. If you leave out all the ones that don't start with s-e-x....
 
Stress, what's stress? well my best way is to walk in the woods or by the water some where. The rippling of water relaxes the soul and clears my mind. Oh a quick stress reliever for me is just Smiling and laughing out loud.
It realy drives you co-workers Nuts. Lol
And don't forget the cuddling of a loved one, that's my favorit.
 
When I was doing Kung Fu, I'd go out in the back and beat up the bag. Now, I ride my exercycle, walk with Manu on the beach, and pet my kitty Aiko.

Right now, there's a whole score of tiny 6-week-old feral kittens living in my back yard - 5 little black ones (all with blue eyes!), 1 charcoal gray one (with pretty blue eyes too), two white ones (one with a deformed foot, it's so sad!), a little marbled one (who's afraid of me), and a big puffball striped gray one that looke older than the others. When I'm feeling stressed, I go out on my back porch and they all come running to see me. The sight of those silly clumsy bodies making their way toward me cheers me up instantly. One of the black ones likes to bite my toes. They all like to hide behind my legs and swat at each other. Sometimes they'll crawl up on my knees and jump down. It's great fun.

Go postal and shoot someone??

Yes. I'm leaning heavily toward that myself. There are a few people that at least need their asses kicked!
 
Drink, Party, Be somebody's slut in the evening, feel good when you wake up, and hate yourself in the afternoon....repeat
