That made me smile. I used to go into a stall in the women's restroom at work and just breathe deeply to exhale the negativity as needed. My last office had windows in all of the offices... to the rest of the office! Even the partners were living in fishbowls. There was no escape except in the bathrooms, unless you could afford the time to leave the entire building for a while. I did treat myself with retail therapy too many times. Now that I have finally dug myself out of that abyss of debt, I use naps and hot baths. They're free and amazingly soothing, with none of the negative side effects of buyer's remorse. Somehow, after a great nap or bath - and letting my mind off the problem at hand - the solution more often than not magically presents itself to me. I love that! Thanks for another great post, James. “Heck, lock yourself in a cupboard if you can’t get away from work”. That made me smile.

Whenever I'm feeling down after a rude customer, getting a nice, polite one who leaves the place happy is a really big boost. That makes a lot of sense.

After a really bad day I was driving home and noticed two women on the side of the road with a flat tire. I simply stopped and changed the tire for them, which was a lot quicker for them than waiting for AAA. After that, the problems of the day melted away.
