The Cure For a Frustrating Day

If I wasn't allowed 'me time' I'd have killed someone by now. lol

The crew at work notice when he's being particularly stingy with 'me time' but they don't quite know why I'm in such a bad mood. But they all get very ants for me to take another trip. :rolleyes:
 
Gym. Hard.
Long hot shower.
Corona.
Read A Confederacy of Dunces.
Naked Gun movies ("I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?")
 
sometimes a long drive through the country.

others it is a glass of wine, sitting in the studio, listening to music. maybe a book or writing in my journal.

a very hot shower, sex and sleep also work wonders.
 
Flavorful wine.

Would definitely dig into the Jeeves Omnibus if I had a copy. Wodehouse was my favorite author when I was in high school and I still love the stories.

Sometimes picking up a piece of wood and making it into something useful and beautiful.

Sometimes a long drive or a good jog.

"I feel the need...the need for speed!"
 
My current lifestyle:

Applesauce.
Unchallenging nature documentary.
Ambien.

"she goes to work scent-marking her subordinates."

a perfect vodka martini, with lemon twist

2 or 3 advil PM (my tolerance is too high for them to make me sleepy, but they sure do ease the tension!--highly recommend if you have no access to satin's quaaludes ;))

music i can dance to, but won't

a phone conversation with a horny man who's fucked me before

Scooter curled up with me


...and yes, all at once. :)
 
It all depends on the day... and the frustration... the tension and the build up.

Business usually produces a very annoying, irritated, anxious stress. The type of stress that sits in the pit of my stomach and weighs heavily on my mind.

Most of the time, it's no problem. It's just what I have to do. Sometimes, things just pile up and pile on and it just gets the better of me (as much as I hate admitting it and giving in to it).

There are some things and some days that there's just no hiding from. Like having a contract get pulled and having to call in 4, 5, or 10 hard working, dedicated people (who are usually just trying to provide for their families) and telling them that the well has dried up.

I can deal with losing the business. I lose sleep (as well as sanity) over the failure to provide enough business to keep people working (and providing for their families).

It's not easy to sleep on those nights and there's little I can do to recover from a day like that. No matter what I do there's always that thought in the back of my mind and it is... all in my head.

I need to find a way to get my brain working (and focused on something else) and even then, it's only a temporary reprieve.

I have complicated relationships (friendships) with many women in my life (my closest friends are all women). Many of them are complete opposites of me. I mean we disagree on everything and when 'outsiders' see the way we get along, they often ask (or at least wonder) why we're there... together... when we so obviously hate each other.

It's actually quite the opposite. I'd go insane if it wasn't for these friendships.

After a particularly bad day, I seek out the companionship and friendship of someone who challenges me.

Whiskey can help, but as a rule I don't drink alone. Movies, also, can be useful but you've gotta get the right type. Just looking at my shelf, I'm talking about Iron Man, Hellboy, Airplane, Little Miss Sunshine, nothing that would depress anybody.
 
I don't watch movies when I'm depressed. I watch The Soup or a terrible reality show.

Here's a quote from one:

Prostition-whore!

Ok, that's a tiny quote, but I don't remember the rest. You have to flip a table too.
 
Work. I tend to just work more. Probably not healthy, but I'm not all that good at winding down. It's smarter for me to not get wound up in the first place, because I take forever to spool down.

And The Princess Bride is an incredibly awesome movie. Just sayin'.
