Creative ideas

I saw this news item (below) and it got me thinking that, short of putting a bad customer's photo or one of your boss on the head of a pinata and smashing the crap out of it, what is your best way to relieve stress? Creativity welcomed.

MADRID (Reuters) - A Spanish hotel chain is running a competition for stressed executives to let off steam in a fashion usually reserved for rock stars -- by smashing hotel rooms. NH Hoteles will allow 30 people chosen by a team of psychologists to help demolish the interior of the 11-year old NH Alcala hotel in central Madrid as part of its refurbishment, it said. The chosen 30, armed with mallet and hardhat, can destroy any part of the 146-room building, NH said, from bringing down walls to smashing windows. The demolition will take place on July 3.

That is sooo \"Keith Moon\"

former drummer of the Who, set the standard for trashing hotel rooms. The most creative way I decompressed some years ago: a friend has an auto recycling biz, had a mobile crusher come to his facility once a month, so I took a forced air furnace that I had changed out (which gave me a lot of grief for a long time)and put it in the crusher. It was the ultimate Zen move!

mmmmmmm Beeeeeerrr.

As Ben Franklin said " Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy ".

I try to be as happy as I can

Sailing does it for me, I love being out on the water.

You'll bet a bang out of this idea...

My personal best and most effective way of stress relief:

Disposing of scrap and excess explosives (and perhaps visulizing the boss at the same time).

Nothing else that I've ever done meausures up to how effective that was.

I no longer work there... but I still have the blasters license and can still buy stuff to... dispose of.

stress relief

A 12 gauge loaded with OO buck, a vivid imagination and a watermelon......(and a safe place to do it and safe gun handing always)....just amazing how the stress just seems to go out the end of the barrel along with the buckshot!!
Serioulsy, though, just being out in nature, alone in the woods, just melts away all the stress and tension this sometimes crazy world dishes out. I have a special place near camp that is better than any cathedral or chapel I've ever been in. It is truly a place to be alone with God and nature.
