Vanguard00 Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I hate my job. I hate that through the choices I've made I'm now temporarily trapped in this job. I hate that, as if somehow knowing that I'm trapped, my job and personal life have taken such a fcuking down turn that I don't know what to do with myself. It's worse now than it's ever been in the entire 6+ years I've been here. I hate that there's too good a chance of finding the bodies to take care of some of the people who are seriously contributing to this current state of crankiness. I hate that I can't punch my boss' nose out the backside of his head. I hate that I'm this pissed this early in the day/week/month/year/life. Even ice cream and Bailey's ain't gonna fix this one any time soon, and I hate that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that psionic barrier between generations that drives humans to want to feed the younger generation to a pit of rabies infested tigers high on crystal-methamphetamines.

Old Man Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Re: The cranky thread To the bald man in the gym: WTF is it with you and the leg press? Today I watched you spend ten minutes just piling plates onto the sled. Sixteen plates is an impressive amount of weight--too bad you only let it down like four inches before you press it back up. What is that supposed to accomplish? But how you cheat on the leg press is your business. No, what bothers me most is that after you've put 700 pounds on the machine, preventing anyone else from using it, you walk away and do other things. You left all that crap on the sled for 45 minutes and in that time you did, what, three sets of your pathetic four-inch leg press? I fantasize that one day you will actually attempt to bend your knees and do a real leg press with that much weight, only to have it pin you in the machine. Your pleas for help will amuse me greatly. But don't worry, I'll pull all that weight off you and get you out of there. In 45 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I got cheated on my paycheck. I was supposed to get extra cash for working with extra students, and payroll didn't give me the cash. I had to go to my boss to help me clear it. Good thing the boss was able to help; I was two seconds away from walking. Deny me a raise or a promotion, that's your prerogative. But cheat me on my pay, which I earned, that's an ass-whuppin' offense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a LOT of crankiness on the boards lately. *shrugs* Well, there's crankiness you need to vent, and crankiness you're better off not sharing. Right now, I'm more tired than anything. I cancelled all my appointments yesterday and slept the day away. I'll probably do that today too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: The cranky thread We've had scheduling problems at work all week, and it's only Tuesday! And I've had to make do with 3 or 4 hours of sleep every night because of my chronic insomnia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I've always cured insomnia with physical exertion. 45 minutes of running in the searing heat, and/or three sets of 400-pound leg presses, will greatly encourage alpha brain waves. In fact, I find that I quickly develop the opposite problem and need to resort to early caffeine in order to function at the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I've been working out hard all week. On Saturday, I had a 3-hour workout: an hour of Krav Maga, and a 2-hour Chinese Boxing seminar immediately after that. I still wasn't able to sleep until 5 a.m. or so.

Old Man Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Okay, well, I don't know then. The only other thing that really makes me sleepy is trying to stay awake. My rule is that if I haven't fallen asleep in 30 minutes I'm just wasting time and I might as well get up and read a book or post to the NGD or something.

Spectrum Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I've been feeling the same way myself this week, not so much stressed but agitated for some reason. I've been wanting to recreate a certain scene from Episode III (the one when Anakin pays a visit to the Jedi temple with a batallion of clone troopers) and I find myself asking "Where's a lightsaber when you need one?" But I think mall security frowns on stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even been ignoring my coworkers and being hostile to people on the train. That's funny, I just wrote "too much stress" in the random thread. I don't act out as you do, but feeling angry and stressed myself, though to some degree I always do. There's too much at work and too many things I want to get done at home but too many frustrations in getting things done, more with the latter. Blah blah blah...

Samaritan Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I'm really demotivated at work. I mean, as in I do the minimum required to keep my job. There was a time that I took pride in what I do, but it just seems like I've busted my ass for four years, and have nothing to show for it (especially the latest thing of getting a pay grade increase, but no pay raise). Part of me is angry that I dont' have enough saved up that I could just take time off of work and complete my MBA in a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run into a couple people who seemed to develop anger issues when they got SERIOUSLY into working out, As far as I know they weren't using steroids, but could the massive workouts release extra testosterone? has your diet changed?
