I work at a bookstore. A ****ty bookstore, i'll admit. We are closing in jan in fact. Today a lady with her kids came in. her little toddler started pulling books off the shelves, and running around, while she was on her cell phone.
I had been there for eight hours, working hard (for a change. I was actually working). I was exhausted, and was pissed about the new mess i had to clean up. I went up to the pile and said "ma'm!". implying that she should restrain her child, or at least be attentive.
my coworker comes along to pick up the books, letting me get back to closing down one of the registers. The mother comes storming up and rips into me.
"i've been coming here for years, blah blah blah, the service is terrible, blah blah blah, you are all incompetent, blah blah blah."
she went on to describe how the staff and i are all idiots, dont know anything about books and are never helpful.
i'm a full time student, with a part time job at a bookstore thats closing. i read two books a week.
i was so mad, i was shaking for twenty min (adrenaline i'm guessing). I rarely get angry, but i was livid today.
I came home and had a home brew. RDWAHAHB. After just one i am feeling a lot better. The point of staying angry has washed away. I feel serine and am anticipating my new batch recently bottled with excitement.
The moral of this rant, is that beer, and homebrew specifically cure almost any angst and frustration.
