For crap...I say

Apr 26, 2006 15:52

Today has been a relatively horrid day. I had to discipline one of my direct reports who wasn't doing his work. I hate being the heavy. I had many meetings and got called into others. I ended up in a 15 minute meeting that went an hour ( Read more... )

What time are you thinking? I need to hit a bicycle shop in rainier valley after work, but I should be free after 6:30 or so.

I was thinking around 7-7:30 pm.

Probably Murphy's pub on 45th, as I've never been there and they are in walking distance of my home

I'm jealous; I gotta work tonight.

I'm leaving work now; I'll hit Murphy's some time around 7:30, probably. I don't think I've been there before either.

Perhaps it just me and my neuroses, but it would seem to me that about the worst thing one could do when they are fighting back the urge to vent some primal rage would be to lower ones inhibitions by going out drinking... how I'm alone in this revelation is one of the many things I don't understand about the enfatuation with alcohol our society seems to hold dear.

By all means, if it's tradition, go nuts man. Me, I'd rather go scream into the night like like a bull T-Rex, try and disassemble the nearest dumpster headlong with a 2x4, and steal a few passionate kisses when I was done. Why numb your angst with false tinted glasses rather than express what you're actually feeling lucidly and without risk of hurting others in that rare moment of drunken oblivion gone wrong?

I'm still rather in control of my inhibitions when I drink, which is rare, by the by (maybe 3 times a year). The key is to break the cycle, I'm angry, and as long as I have my focus on the angry, it feeds itself. If I can force myself to lose my focus and instead focus on friends and happy stuff, I can then just offload the remaining tension.

Of course I read this at midnight :( This ought to teach me to check before I leave work from now on!

Don't feel too bad about having to be a manager; I'm sure you handled it with consideration and aplomb. Also, I'm fairly certain I'm taking advantage of the kindness of my own manager at work (read: I don't do jack shit).
