So I'm sitting at work and have a splitting headache. It doesn't seem like any amount of coffee is helping. I'm a Systems Analyst and have a great deal of contact with end users. Unfortunately, it's like a parade of stupid today and my patience is just shot.
I'm tempted to just GTFO but I've got work to do.
Please help!

I don't really have any "immediate" advice, sorry.
This is part of growing up and persevering forward through whatever is going on, no matter how unpleasant.
This is called being an adult. And it's sometimes not easy at all.

I've been an adult long enough. Can't I just take a break and be a kid again even for a day?

I was going to try to post something inspirational... but now I have to resolve a fight here at work. Between someone I supervise and a client. It's like dealing with two children-- one's unreasonably demanding, the other's excessively emotional.
It's actually pretty hard to find a truly grown-up person in life. I think I've met maybe 10 or less of them so far. |

Please help! I find that music helps. I'm having a real Monday of a Friday. I've got a mix of Finnish and Swedish Goth-Rock on, at the maximum volume I can set it before it starts freaking out my neighbors.
Oh, and AdvilGäó for those really ugly headaches.
Tomorrow, I will go to the target range. No, not fantasizing about popping my end-users. It's a zen thing... Proper target shooting requires being completely in the moment, total focus, and exclusion of distracting extraneous thoughts. It's an act of meditation-in-motion. A hundred rounds or so clears my mind wonderfully. |

as above, I either throw on bubble gum pop to calm down, like lady gaga, or ke$ha, basicly mindless dribble that I can hum too.
If I need to vent, i'll get some harder stuff, like Saliva, P.O.D., etc.
if I really want to chill i'll toss on some classical.
Insirational stuff, once when I used to work for geek squad I did not want to do anything, but I tossed on 'Below the Astroids' which is my fav eve song, and one winged angle, and yea that was fixed real fast. Nothing gets me moving like thinking i'm about to kick Sepheroth in the teeth. |

Being an adult is easy, being in your 20's or living like it, is hard.
Anyway, drink less coffee? I used to drink like 5 grande's a day, had lots of headaches. Possible eye strain headaches? Get your eyes checked. Adjust your diet and/or exercise regularly, maybe too many toxins in the system. The body can endure tremendous stress without suffering headaches, so find an adjustment. I had like one headache last year. |

Use a timer and have it count down on your desk. Then play a game. See how long you can make each activity last - without impacting your job or company. Time yourself. Rinse repeat. Soon your shift will be over and you will have survived.

If you are in a situation where you can listen to stuff while working check out The EVE Reader.
Helps pass the time and allows you to take those "few minutes mental break" to just tune out everything else.

My daughter is now cursing your very existence. 
I haven't laughed this hard in... Well, a week , at least. Going to inflict the Trolololololo Guy on some cow-orkers tomorrow. You may read about it in the news.

60% of all people in the western civilization are happy, the rest doesn't have enough money for drugs and booze.

Coffee usually makes headaches worse. That's one of the reasons I don't drink the damn stuff.
Also, you should look into wearing skirts/dresses. They can be much more comfortable than pants. |

So today, I came in to work a little early and got a bunch of stuff done. Now I have nothing to do until something breaks or people can't sort out the difference between Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.
So, I decided to mess with my boss.
I told him to give me a raise and he told me he would give me 2 goats.
Since then I have discovered that goats sell for ~$155.00/head AND have gotten my other co-workers to send him emails and IMs saying, "If he gets goats I WANT GOATS!"
This is what happens when System Analysts have too much time on their hands.
I'm going to find more people to mess with.

How about a utility kilt? One of my friends was all hyped-up and enthusiastic about these for a while. He predicted that they'd become the standard wear for active things like hiking, fishing, home repair jobs. "I never want to wear pants again!" |

Utili-kilts are for wannabes.
Get a proper kilt, sewn by a razor-tongued little old Scottish granny. You can do formal, semi-formal, casual, or even athletic, all in the same garmet.
If you're not Scots or Irish, you can always wear the Black Watch tartan - which looks pretty sharp. |
