    @Mim did you see when I posted this earlier
    Moon Animate Make-Up is a crowdsourced group animation project to re-animate an episode of Sailor Moon shot-by-shot in each artist's personal style. From October 2013 to July 2014, over two hundred and fifty animators contributed at least one shot each to assemble a full length parody episode of Sailor Moon.

    you didn't get mad when your faulty design sent a flaming ball of fire into a crowd of people

    you have transcended anger

    Why would I have gotten mad at that? That was awesome.

    In those kinds of situations I have learned to recognize, and enjoy, that tiny fleeting moment of "holy shit that was awesome" that you get right before the "oh fuck I hope that didn't maim anybody" comes rushing in

    As anyone who has worked in a call center, retail, or any other customer-facing job knows, the secret to dealing with anger is channeling it into passive-aggressiveness.

    One of my co-workers used to walk away with her hands up in the air going "NOPE. NOPE. NO. NO." and into the back room.

    "let me check in the back room" was "I'm going to go stew in back before i say something that gets me fired" for me in some cases

    right now there is not much reason to get either but the PS4 has a much stronger showing. Unless you like the kinect base dance games (which are very good if you like that genre).

    The only time I've gotten genuinely angry in recent memory was in China. I was in the factory and I was exhausted and sick with a fever that ibuprofen was only kind of keeping under control. My boss was going over the tasks I needed to accomplish but had no realistic hope of getting done. I had none of the equipment necessary. And I know she was just doing her job and trying to be helpful, but she asked me for the 100th time what I needed to start working.

    "A computer monitor, any kind at least 13", a [general type of] camera 5MP, a power supply for both..."

    I got halfway through the list and she told me that this was all too general. I wasn't being specific enough. I wasn't getting what I need because I'm never specific enough. This came off of yesterday's lecture of how I wasn't getting what I need because I gave a list of things to get that included part numbers and they didn't have all the stuff so, chinese culture, they got none of it and avoided talking to me about it.

    Then, right in the middle of this conversation, it was time for a shift change. A loudspeaker about 3 ft from my head crackles and earsplitting chinese comes screeching out of it because china. I try to continue talking to my boss but I can't even shout over this noise. And when you're already super frustrated, being forced to scream is not cathartic, it makes it even harder to control yourself. I turned, walked away, and punched an industrial machine and hurt my hand really really badly.

    Luckily it was really crowded and the announcement was still going to no one heard or saw. Couldn't type with my left hand for a day or so.

    the best shitty mall job I had was selling womens shoes at the Bon. because their stocking and storage systems were so disorganized it was normal and expected to spend 75% of your time in the storage caves even if you weren't slacking. The only interactions with customers was "do you have this in size X and color Y? I'll go check for you!"

    I mean, I know it's strange and when I explain the situation to people I always get that "She's dickmatized to be doing something as dumb as this."

    The situation was basically I liked Sarks for a long time, we were FWBs for awhile and I liked him and wanted a relationship but we realized that we wanted very different futures. It was strange to set a time limit on the relationship, but to me it would've been worse to not have had him as my boyfriend. So I took this really unconventional chance. I'm happier for it and knowing it wasn't going to last forever allowed me to maximize what time I had with him.

    Working in a bookstore was pretty chill. The only issue was the early days of the Oprah's Book Club where it didn't occur to anyone that Oprah might cause some books to be moved. So we'd get angry people demanding what the latest books on her list was. But given that the worst people were when Song of Solomon was on the list, I considered my vengeance already delivered. But other then that it was generally pretty chill.
