Last Tuesday I hid in the 3rd floor stall for 18 minutes and it saved my whole week
I'm not proud of it but last Tuesday was a dumpster fire from 8am on. My boss moved our project deadline up two days, my kid's school called about a forgotten lunchbox, and I spilled coffee on the one decent shirt I own before 9. By lunch I was so wound up I walked to the third floor bathroom, the one nobody uses, and just sat in the stall for 18 minutes doing nothing. No phone, no scrolling, just breathing and staring at the tile. It sounds dumb but that little break reset my whole head and I got through the rest of the day without snapping at anyone. I've done it twice since then, 10 minutes max, and honestly it's the cheapest thing that works for me. The thing is I feel weird telling anyone at work about it, like they'll think I'm hiding. Does anyone else have a spot they go to when the day gets too loud, or am I just the weird stall guy now?
