Have A Bad Day

There is no avoiding those occasional works days when we feel like balloons in a porcupine factory, when employees let us down or The Man abrasively leans on us from above. When both happens, it's a poop sandwich.
Bad work days often start off with an unrelated event, such as a flat tire, some booger-eating moron on the freeway or maybe a spat with the spouse over something silly.
Bad-news days for others sometimes make exciting days for journalists. For example, we aggressively chase stories about people whose days are made bad by getting shot, running away from Category 5 hurricanes, driving off a bridge or seeing their business burn down.
We take no pleasure in these tragedies, but it is our job to cover them, and we have an obligation to feed the hungry beast better known as readers. Good news, such as someone getting a kidney or winning the lottery, also helps make for good newsroom days.
No news is the basic recipe for our bad days. Inaccuracies or getting scooped on stories also are fixins for bad days.
Everyone has bad days. It is how we handle them that defines our character.
However, there are some who don't handle their bad days so well.
Here are some examples:

Maybe just watching that will help turn your lemon day into a lemonade day.
Have a nice day.
