Ever Just Want to Roar at the Top of Your Lungs?

Manteno_Montenegro

And I mean HULK style, right at your desk. A noise that will carry down halls and corridors and completely across the office, either striking fear into those who hear it, or give them the signal that you are not, repeat, not to be messed with at this particular place and time.

How do you deal with your frustrations?

I dont; Ive been staring at my desk for almost the whole day. I cant do anymore details. Ive tried for 3 years to be the best draftsperson, project manager in my firm, missing only 2 days, and working steadily 60 hrs a week. All it gets me is more bullshit work the principles dont want, and further away from any real design work. This is my 4th architecture job and Im 32. Recently lic. I'm about 2 min away from telling them to fuck themselves, calling our clients and telling them I'll do it for 2/3rds the cost just to get the ball rolling. I swear this profesion means nothing unless your name is on the titlesheet.

OMG-M_M...You just read my mind...I was actually just searching the 'nect for how people "deal" with the frustrations at work. Lately, I have been wanting to scream at the top of my lungs...

I didn't end up with this screen name by accident.

Honestly, focus on your breathing for a few minutes. Block the stresses from your mind for a few minutes and just focus on the physical sensation of the breathing: inhale...rising chest...exhale...relaxing muscles...and the rhythm of it happening again and again and again.

It won't solve your problem, but might give you a moment of clarity to think of the best way to handle the problem.

Manteno, are'nt you the guy who puts strategic cuts in your t-shirt so if the occasion calls for it you can rip your shirt off Hulk style?

Not so fast, Steven, that's called panting! Breathe slooowly. Or rather slow at first, and more slowly as you start to relax.

I'd like to see if clamfans approach works out. Telling your Boss to F off sounds extremely enlightening

I've done it a couple times, but I only recommend that approach if you already have another job lined up in another field and/or another city.

Yeah I don't know if I could ever do that-F off a boss...probably not...I wouldn't want to burn any bridges. The way I see it I set career goals for myself. For instance, I KNOW I won't be at this firm for a very long time. But in the meantime I will try my best...and lots of breathing exercises...thanks lb

diabase ,

OMG I totally forgot about that! I guess life has been going well because I've not needed to do that in years. I mean, actually tear one. But I still pre-plan with the tiny cuts though!

Days like today I just want to show up at the office dressed like Saruman and put a curse on everybody, whether they deserve it or not.
