Meditation, or something like yoga or tai chi.
And all the stuff Jeff and Ollie mentioned.
I need to get on that too 
Next person that pisses you off just beat their fuckin ass. Then punch yourself in the face and say it was self defense.
Fight Club’d 
but for realskies, when an employee pisses me off:
Screw the cigs, it’s all about the ganja.
Ain’t no amount of stress a nice, phat bonghit can’t take care of.
If that doesn’t work, fire someone. 
I fired a teenage dog worker last year. Super cute, I’m sure she was a “popular” girl also. Too bad she was an idiot. In 3 weeks she couldn’t figure out a choke chain collar. I fired the crap out of this homecoming court girl. It was justified, but I might have taken a little pleasure in canning this poor girl who will have everything else in life handed to her. (minor victory for geeks and freaks). stress relieved. The look on her face told me that nobody had ever done that to her before. We get lots of kids every year to walk dogs.
^I had to fire a guy right in the middle of a job one time. He was by far the worst crew member I’ve had in the last 10 years.
In reality, though, firing someone is pretty stressful… I much prefer the bonghit alternative, when it comes to stress relief.
Yea, even when it’s justified it’s stressful. When you have to do it for $ or lack of work it’s even worse.
Master debater… 
What an appropriate topic. I found the ultimate way to relieve work stress…get laid off!
Yup, I haven’t been around because just that happened to me on Friday. Can’t say I’m that bummed since I was looking to leave anyway and I wasn’t that big a fan of a my boss but you’d still prefer to do it on your own terms. I’m alright since I do have some money saved up for a while…being a cheapwad and not getting internet or a cell phone DOES have it’s perks. (And yet, I just bought a PS3 yesterday since I figured I’d be playing more video games with more time off…leave it to me to start splurging AFTER I get canned).
Strangely, I’m not sure I like accounting and I have a feeling I’d be getting in a rut with a new accounting job unless the co-workers are just awesome (which is how it WAS at my old job until lots of sweet people left and a bunch of jerky people joined…it’s amazing how a workplace really is all about the workers and not the job itself). And yet my other interests are sports, video games and music…all three being industries which are brutal to get into, especially with someone with no experience working in any. It’s easy to say “get a job doing something you love” but eventually you’ve gotta pay the bills. Right now I’m in that one-week period where I’m not even going to THINK about work for a week straight…kind of like a mental cleansing to wash myself of all of the previous job. It feels good.
And yes…relieving work stress?..Puff Puff Puff for your sanity.
^ yeah…my girlfriend got laid off two weeks ago, and that’s really just created more stress for her and on us…but we’ll get through it. I wouldn’t recommend not working as a way to relieve stress unless you, like Steve-o, buy yourself a PSTrey. I wish I could just take a week and dedicate it solely to playing video games and puffing, but I wouldn’t like the notion of not having a job to go back to after. Anyway, good luck with the hunt man.
No kidding. This is dilemma I find myself facing every single day. Take a big risk and do something I love, or be safe and do something I’m not that wild about. So yeah, I don’t know how to help you guys with your work stress, but this school shit is giving me a run for my money. Especially since it’s summer time, Phish is coming soon, and I don’t give two shits about boolean logic or Ernest Hemingway. I love to read, but man do I hate Hemingway. Anyway, hopefully this too shall pass.
That’s probably my favorite thing I have learned from my dad to date: you can’t do anything more than what you can do in a day.
had a much better day at work today.
nothing special. I think just reading all of your posts helped I think.
^Now all you need is a bonghit and you’re day goes from better to GREAT!
^every post in this thread by dooj has “bonghit” in it. i think if i googled “bonghit” i’d get dooj’s address and telephone # 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 
Relaxed… Nope, not yet. It looks the same in writing though. I’ll be in D/S thread, but visiting TYThoughts.
BONGHIT!!!
(I love the way it looks as one word… and it should be one word!!)
So true, I would dislike my job much more without my Co-Workers…We have lots of fun during the day…And they are some good people to vent frustrations to since they understand the best…
LOL. I know…I wouldn’t recommend it either. In fact, my stomach was in knots for a few days after it happened which is always a sign of stress for me. But the week off has been relaxing I’m just mentally putting what happened out of my head and I’ll be getting heavy into the job searching next week. Just a week off is all I’m allowing myself.
Uhg,… 
Thank god today is over.
