I have come very close to smashing my computer with my fists because I paid for this wireless network service, & it's not working. I know destroying the computer would make things worse, & I'd have no computer. I really need help before I lose it. Would it drive you crazy if every 2 minutes, your paid wireless internet service disconnects?

Take several deep breaths and consider leaving your computer and calling the wireless provider tomorrow morning to come out a fix the problem. Also check your router, but don't throw it.

What helps me, a 6' French and Irish, wild Taurean woman with 5 planets and a rising sign in Fire...is to remind myself tension is weakness. I can sometimes remind myself to let go everywhere, every single place when I am holding on too tightly, raging or about to, but not always. The true desire to become a gentler, kinder, more loving person who doesn't only know when to stop when she sees the terror and disgust in other peoples' faces.
The computer is a slightly harder issue as I have often been heard to say that 2"x4" 's should be standard issue w/ 'em. And damn well mean it.
Keep reminding oneself of the EXPENSE of giving vent to one's spleen, (and I'm not just talking about $$$'s here, either.
Anger is a blindness. Ask yourself where you are being blind and weak (remembering I'm the woman who has bite marks in her flute from "in the beginning, trying to learn...":D :D :D ).
Anger is NOT always wrong, just most of the time. The most truly important thing is to get to the point where you acknowledge before any and every outburst that you are making the correct choice, and therefore in control of yourself.
Have you considered blowing up your ISP, or simply held the staff there at gunpoint until they fix the damn problem and give you more speed, more reliability and more power, right now because you need it, you deserve and you f*cking paid for it, dammit?

Yes, it would drive me crazy and would probably cuss the robot or the Indian (because they hired them) who was on the other line. Don't attack your computer, it's not the computer's fault. Here's some info that might help you with the computer. It could be something IN the computer that can be causing the problem. Give more info about what the wireless network service is. Like is it a router, flash driver, etc?

Sometimes my wireless Internet does that. I get so angry that I have to get up and walk away from the computer because of what I might do to it. Call your Internet provider and ask if they can give you some help with your Internet access. I have thought about getting rid of the wireless just to make my life more pleasant. I hope the situation gets better for you. I know exactly where you are coming from. Try to just walk away for a few minutes and it may help you with you temper and definitely check with your Internet carrier to get the issues with your access figured out.

That happened to me about a month ago. I was real moody until I got the problem fixed (which took 2 weeks!). I bought a new computer and switched providers. A big nightmare I thought-and just plain frustrating! But I got through it and everything works great!!! I agree if you smash your computer you'll have bigger problems. Keep talking to your internet provider. If they can't help then switch to another service.

Well, for an insta-fix, shove a steel rod into your right eye close to your nose, and make a few up and down motions. If lobotomy's not your style, I'm afraid there's no real insta-fix for temper problems.
But yeah, I'd be pissed. Instead of killing your poor innocent computer, you should think about calling the help line and taking out your frustration on the first human to pick up. They might be innocent too, but they get paid to deal with the consequences when that product doesn't work like it should.

Yeah, I also hit my computer of $600 when my internet connection disconnects it is a big hassle and besides it is slowly. I also have my bad temper. By the way it is a laptop, so when I hit it i would hit the screen and it would go back or hit the keyword.

Don't cry, I know how you feel. That really sucks. Is there anyone you can call about it. It may just need a few adjustments. Yes it would drive me crazy too if that happened. I hope someone fixes it soon.

With temper in general I always have to find some kind of humor or understanding, on what's making me mad. In this case you have to understand what's causing this, then you can work on a solution, destroying something is never a solution, selling something, maybe
