Anger Management
I have been contemplating for a while now, how to best keep me from getting "down" about all the b*llsh*t that happens at work and from others. It is difficult as I tend to get quite angry when my feelings are hurt. For me, the anger turns inside and the reality is that I harm myself physically and emotionally by keeping the anger and rage inside me.
Yet, expressing that anger and/or rage is not fruitful either. If I yell and holler, that is perceived badly and often times is not actually spoken towards the people I am angry at. The end result of expressing my anger and/or rage is to simply hurt other people's feelings, which is also not healthy for me emotionally or physically, for then I worry about that.
The best I can come up with is to a) try to view work as less of a "family" affair, where we are all "looking out" for each other, and b) focus much more adamantly on doing "my own thing" as opposed to trying to be a team player who works hard for the benefit of the group.
My U, as much as I would like it to be, *IS NOT* a family. There are many people in my area that are short-sighted and often unpleasant to interact with, and I should really diminish my time spent with them. Also, some in my area also have some ideas that are rather paranoid and delusional, and since it is beyond my ability to fix their paranoia and molly-coddle them into seeing a more accurate reality, it is best for me to detach myself from a sizable amount of the interaction I have with them.
In focusing more on doing "my own thing" I believe I will feel more accomplished in my own goals and aspirations in life. I am planning to make myself scarce by not being in my normal work areas other than when absolutely necessary. Instead, I will hide away from the hindrances (the people who try to smother me with their own issues and work in a variety of different campus nooks and crannies where I can sit and work with my laptop at will... without the negative people hindering my own life and progress towards happiness.
Let us hope it goes well. Wish me luck.

I think in the educational fields, it's sometimes hard to work at work.
Sometimes it is necessary to remove ourselves from the negative energy of other people. Don't let them ruin your day.
Good luck on the alternative work areas. Too many people get their jollies from hurting or aggravating others. Sometimes they are so short sighted they do not even see it. Dopes
Good luck.
Sounds like you have a good plan!
You never give up, Pipe. You just keep pushing forward.
It helps me.
Thanks.
Recently I chanced upon Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.
Yes, away from the negativity.
But keep a link to the gossip loop. That is important sometimes.
