tantrum biofeedback

screaming at somebody's perceived lazy incompetence through a computer screen: "you are EXTREMELY fucking annoying! EXTREMELY FUCKING ANNOYING!" does not accomplish anything but raising my own heart rate & agitation level, and the levels of nearby dogs. pounding a fist on a desk yelling "IDIOT!" also compounds the stress. it seems this can be reversed by walking down the hall, spiked beverages, and/or herbal remedies.

phil recommends the chill pill, which isn't a physical object so much as a mental exercise.

I find giving the computer the bird while serenely chanting "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you" is quite cathartic. siddhartha would undoubtedly agree
