Just a question to make sure I'm not a loon, I'm having the afternoon from hell and really feel like I am going to lose the plot!!!!!!!!!!!!! I havent felt like this for ages, please tell me its normal

 

Mos' def normal man. Usually if I'm feeling frustrated at work I'll go out for lunch or a coffee break.

 

Dude, your not the only one. I know wxactly how ya feel. I feel the same way at least once or twice a month because I work with complete morons.
Hang in there.

 

I work at an ISP support desk, and the amount of morons/old people/immigrants with NO command of English that ring and expect Computing 101 is both mind boggling and soul destroying.

In fact I feel the urge to commit heinous damage to things around me about every thirty minutes.

 

hehe, i was just thinking EXACTLY the same, i laughed out loud when i read that lol

 

Yes and no. I keep Transformers at my desk to have fun with and relieve stress. And I think about the important things, like playing with my dog and cats and the sushi picnic my girlfriend and I had last night on an island in the Mississippi.  

 

I've gotten angry... not sure I've gotten HULK SMASH angry.. maybe a punch in the wall once, but you quickly learn the financial ramifications of that.

I learned from these boards that people call up because their comp "isn't working" ... and it turns out they never turned it on  

 

It happened once. IE wasn't displaying the page properly (This happens every time), and none of my fixes were working. I picked up my favourite marker and threw it on the floor. It smashed open and I felt bad.

 

I wish the people at our ISP support desk were not half retarted nothing is ever the fault of their service its always the customers computer. I work a tech job for a local computer shop and the amount of stupid people that call/come in will boggle your mind.

 

Never gotten to the smash something stage. I get pissed off from time to time, but nothing really worth getting that worked up over. Life is too short.

 

Yes, and in return I got my picture at the security desk and was not allowed back in that customer's building.

 

All the dam time but I can usually find something(someone) to take my anger out on. 

 

It's been a few years. But I had a boss for a while that was dumb as a post and had an office right next to mine. On one of his particularly bad idea days a coffee cup got smashed against the brick wall between our offices.

But that's been a long time ago. I feel muuuuuuuuch better now.

 

It doesn't take much for my blood to boil... some days I just don't feel like being messed with.

 

I work with clients all day and there are many, MANY times in the day that I need to go for a walk around to clear my head.

Coming here (to TFW) helps to.

 

I dont, it gives absolutely nothing by doing this to the inmates as I found it easier to deal with them to calm them down first and talk with a calm voice. but hey that does not always work but most part it does.

 

I stopped feeling after Optimus died.
More power to you.

 

Yes. When someone throws my transformers into a drawer.

 

Ahhhh, the feeling has passed, I got so p#ssed off I went to TRU and had a walk around and bought some M&M's   didnt smash anything though
