Does screaming at the top of my lungs and throwing pillows around the room count as a "ritual"??

What happened, why are you pissed today?

I sleep it off...

Eh, I'm a violent person when I'm pissed I go to the cage and let it out on other people and get myself beat up cause all my guy friends are twice my size.

Cleaning always works for me... I find it re-establishes some sense of control

lol Martini I think it do. I wish I could do it now. For the now, I'm just locking myself in the office and contemplating leaving the office early before I say something that I'll regret later.

To answer, a stupid colleague from another freaking department lost or in his words "misplaced" a very important disk that have the materials that I along with graphic designer on my team were working on for a client. We were in the editing room and stepped out for the lunch and the idiot came in without permission, knowing we had the room booked for the entire day. He removed the disk and now he doesn't know what he did it with. I have backups but they don't have all the work that we've done since this morning. We came to the office at 6 this morning to try to finish it up and now if he can't find that disk... just thinking about it, pisses me of more.

OOOH, Myst - that sucks! I so hope you can find the disk without having to redo all that work! I would be majorly pissed, too, if I were you! I admire your ability to control yourself, I would have lost it!

I am sending a plea to the powers of the universe that you find that disk - and crossing my fingers, too!!!

you and me both. My deadline in Monday and we were hoping to be finished by today. If he can't find it, I think I'm just going to go home and try to finish there, because I can't be in the office with him still here otherwise.

I drink it off. Is that bad?

lol no, do you have one to share? Rum and Coke is my drink of choice

Just wondering...why would he take it in the first place??

I think if you can't find it, you should go home and scream and throw pillows around, then work your ass off to complete it, and finally, take BlueSarah's wonderful suggestion and go out and have a few drinks!

When I'm pissed I call someone and b*tch about it and that usually makes me feel better

Oh Myst you can have all the rum in the world! I had one bad night when I was 15 and I can't drink it anymore.

blue - don't you hate how 1 night can ruin something for you? I havent had a whiskey sour in years because of one night...

I really do Haus! And you'd think enough time has passed where I could try it again...but nooooooooooope. Not gonna happen. I'll stick to my vodka!

I know what you mean! I've tried whiskey sours again, NOPE, no way. Ah well...

When mojito's got super popular, I tried one. NOPE. Not gonna happen!

lol damn blue what type of rum did you have? 100 percent overproof? Appleton? I can't touch whiskey though, just like I can't do beer. I tried it once and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted.

Martini, that's what I asked him. He said he needed to edit something and swears up and down he put it down on the desk and it wasn't there or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm working out of my office now from the backup and the other person on my team is working on his copies. Might as well try to get some work done for the time being.

I come on here and take it out on the liberals. JK!!!

I have pizza ... I usually try to eat healthy ... but when I am pissed I get comfort food ... I think I need some tonight ... have had hell of a day ... ughh

blue, I completely understand the aversion to rum! One night Bacardi and I stopped getting along... I've actually been able to tolerate Havana Club rum now, but I'm not sure if you can get that in the States. Cuban rum is great... it doesn't taste or smell anything like traditional brands.

At this point I'm just too scared to try it!

I was scared too, but I vacationed in Varadero Cuba last winter and rum was basically all they had. The pina coladas ended up drawing me in I still can't go near Bacardi though.

Eat a lot (works since I can't seem to gain weight as if I really tried), or sleep. Showers work well too!

I clean..like spring clean.

I never noticed until my husband told me that I should get mad more often. ha!

If its some that really pissed me off I have a stash calm me down.

i clean too, but never realize i'm doing it until i'm practically throwing dishes in the dishwasher! ha!

as for the drinking, i can relate, i had TOO much raspberry vodka once, NEVER again will i drink the stuff. blegh!

The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.

Funnily enough, I've had puh-lenty of bad tequila nights, and I can still drink the stuff!

I like to clean, too, or I get something completely selfish, like a mani/pedi/massage/overpriced fashion item. Myst - maybe you crave ramen because it has a lot of salt and salt is said to help lift depression?

I never thought of that dm8bri. I guess that could be it.

Kickboxing class or yoga.
