Not Just Another Day At The Office Comments

Good thing you wrote this down, some other people would find less productive ways of venting that might end in a cop visiting your home, (not that I know of such things) fortunately I have never had any conflict with a co worker where the extreme was this kind of blow up, but its been either grocery stores, retail or offices, however when I have been a mover with my Dad things can get hairy if things are not done proper, there's been some words of war throwing, that have led to a no mans land of silence. So I get it to some extend. Good thing to articulate this way, hope everything is patched up, its good to end things on a good note.

Holy Sh*t! Probably a good thing you weren't door to door nuclear missile salesmen. (Or circumcision surgeons...what with cutting it an inch short and all) It may not be the same as a stiff drink or a shrink visit, but writing can not only release some of that tension but also give the writer some insight and perspective.
