It's fair to say we all have good and bad day's at work. Even good weeks and bad weeks.
Most of the time I (Mr) just chalk it upto experience and get on with it, after 30 year's of working non stop you get thick skinned.
However it gets too much and a bad day for one can be bad for rest of family.
I am like a bear with toothache tonight and snapping for no reason.
We have been to the gym, and I should have relaxed by now.
So I have taken to the one place I can really relax, de stress and unwind.
The bath, for me a long soak is like a session with a therapist.
And really helps me chill.
So after the bath I will no longer be a bear with toothache. I will be a cuddly koala bear.
What's yours?? |

I have a quite emotive and stressful job at times and work for a dickhead employer so I know where you're coming from. A swim, jacuzzi and good hard shag usually cheer me up and clear my head. Writing stuff down also helps me too. Sometimes I get that stressed I can't sleep. On reflection I probably need a new job reading that out loud to myself  |

I work for myself and I'm a cunt for time keeping!.
I'm sacking myself tomorrow if I'm late again!.
I never honestly get stressed,I just try to remember it's all bollocks in the end  |

I have a particular playlist I go and run with, then when I get back i have another I sit and lose myself in. Then I read, even if I don't initially feel like it.
Failing that, a punchbag can be a really useful thing if you have a particularly stressful job.. Mine got moused while being stored so now I dance it out til I get round to a replacement. |

The kids are my job 24/7 and it's a stress I don't get away from very often.
I used to eat chocolate to relax, but then I had waaaay too much of it.
Have now replaced chocolate with Fab.
The best, low calorie form of escapism.
Exercise and a long bath works too but Fab gives me that chance to walk out the door and leave it all behind for a couple of hours. It's made a mind blowing difference to my life. I feel human again! Occasionally. |

Ditto. After being a customer service advisor for BT no job gets me stressed any more. There's something soothing about no longer getting death threats or being screamed at. |

In a previous job, due to my colleagues being considerably wiser than myself and departing one after each other, the job ended up rather stressful. This continued until I did some reading and realised that a few changes needed to be made. The first was that I stopped taking work home and decided that the office door was to be the boundry between my life and work. Most people didn't understand, as they were used to me arriving in the mornings with various bits of work completed, so the next change was the job.
Since that job I have maintained that boundry, thought this doesn't mean that I don't put any extra hours in, just that those hours only take place in the office. This is now second nature and any stress generated by work stays the otherside of that door and doesn't affect my life.

The job i'm doing at the moment does get rather stressful. 12 hour shifts and you never know what the next call might be.
But, i leave work stress at work. Once i've left work. I don't take it with me.
