I was going through a brief time of intense stress and I tried WWASD for a few weeks and it worked well. I revealed to Cathy my technique and periodically she will declare, "You're Alan Shoreing me!" (which is funny unto itself). <a href="http://blog.siliconholler.com/2006/12/11/homeschooling-seems-like-a-better-idea/" rel="nofollow">My recent meeting at the elementary school</a> made me so angry that if it wasn't for WWASD I may have ended up on the six o'clock news. I literally had to take pause, ask the question in my head, snear at the b*&^h, and response calmly with multisyllabic words. A mantra helps.

Today's the day I decided to cash it in for the day and stay home. Because of my job, I am never really "not working". But today I am putting myself on call and spending the day with the kid. Odd.

I gotta think people who don't have at least some amount of outrage at this time of year are deranged. I was serious about the throwing bottles in the last post, by the way. I think I'd go get all the empties and pile 'em out in the back and get the BB gun. Works for me when my boss is being a shithead, anyway. Who doesn’t have road rage at Christmas?

Very satisfying, as long as you wear safety glasses. Who doesn’t have road rage at Christmas? I gotta think people who don’t have at least some amount of outrage at this time of year are deranged.

Guess that'll teach me for trying to reread what I wrote...my lame-assed edits make it into the final product. Just thought the better of bringing the shithead boss into it, but who hasn't ever had one of those? I ask you. Heh.

I've always been fairly lucky with my bosses, which is good, because I've always had issues with 'authorities' and telling them things like 'bite me'.
