LingerrLongerr gets it.

I learned something a while ago. "There is no greater pleasure than giving pleasure".

Play with the dogs. Frisbees and ropes are fun.

If I have shit that needs done I do it.

If the wife isn't working I hang out with her.

If she is working I get online and shoot Europeans in the face.

I bath myself in virtual prepubescent blood. Spawn killing some whiny 10 year old until he leaves the session in GTA 5 does wonders for my mood.

Tell random women on internet dating sites I'm watching some Netflix. They know what it means to come over to watch Netflix at 10pm on a weekday.

I have noticed a correlation between grief incurred at work, and grief caused to others in games... at least in my case.

Come home, work out, get on arfcom, browse midwestguntrader.com and armslist.com for deals, get freaky with the lady. Pretty much my daily routine anyway. I only shoot on Saturday and Sunday.

Drink.

I do that after a good day too. It's pretty universal.

I take off my hat in the truck, roll up my sleeves, uncuff my pants, and turn off my phone... just for a while.

Then I get out, walk in the house and I'm pretty much tackled by three small boys screaming Daddy and wanting a hug.

When I get done with that, I get a kiss from my wife.

And that's all there is to it.

At this point, whenever you see me in the same discussion you are in... you may safely assume that I am talking past you and not at you.

I live up in the frozen north.

When I get home during this time of year it's pitch black out and the temp is usually in the single digits or at best low teens. So, outdoor activities are pretty much out. I get maybe four hours per day during the work week that are my own before I have to go back to the stress ridden hell that is my job in a windowless cubicle where my bosses are all joyless burned out cover their ass women. So, when I get home I drink, because it helps me relax quickly to maximize what little time I have before I need to get up and drive through hellish rush hour traffic to repeat the same soul sucking routine over and over again. I make fair money and I do get really good benefits, but some days I wish I had done something more blue collar. However, my wife expects me to bring home the bacon so I soldier on through the life draining bullshit.

Go to the gym, like after every other work day. But living on a family farm, it's not like I ever really have a lousy day.

When its warm outside: motorcycle ride, dirtbike, working on one of them, take the dog for a nice long hike.

Cold weather: cut down a tree, chop some firewood, take the dog for a nice long hike.

All jokes aside, that sounds pretty damn awesome and I envy you good sir.

Normally I just switch from work to off work mode, but yesterday was different. Several people I work with locally and in other offices were told they were being laid off. My responsibilities will be greater in the near future, not to mention these peoples lives just got tossed in the air. I crawled into a bottle last night and put a do not disturb sign on the cork. Things will level out in a week or two.

Wallow in the shittyness, contemplating the pointlessness of every goddamned thing. Brood until my wife gets home then toss on the smiling mask.

It use to be make a nice meal and have a few beers. Now I am trying to watch what I eat. If it's decent out, going for a walk or hike with the girlfriend is really nice.

Before I retired, I'd go see my horse. He'd come running to me nickering and it made everything right.

I miss him.

It's simple really.
Leave work at work and home at home.

When I punch out from work I have 20 min to chill and enjoy the Rays of sunshine. When I get home I empty the DW, vacuum, basic house stuff. When the better half gets home I pick on her and we talk little about work. We enjoy each other and watch the few shows we watch and that's about it.

Nothing changes on a good day or bad day.

The shit that made it a bad day are over with. Let it go and kick it's ass tomorrow. It will still be there.

If you don't have an SO call you parents or another family memeber. It's good to talk to anyone.

Enjoy life man.

Don't get self employed.

Not only does work come home with me, I do more of it when I get home.

In the summer it's a damn mad house for me. Work most of the day, go look at jobs, come home and write estimates.

To the OP though, if I have an especially tough day, call it quits when shit is wrapped up, come home, and slide it into the wife....makes life a lot better.

I never get off work I live where I work, on a ranch. How I blow off steam is try to find something to kill (very hard as I killed off all but three pigs) or go shooting at the range or go find some animals to chase around and pretend like I am hunting them.

Basically this. Every day, regardless of working that day or not.
