  I simply shrug it off.
  Jogging after work really helps me lay off steam. I always feel better afterwards.
  Nobody at work has ever seen lose my temper. I manage anger really well.
  When I do not like the way a co-worker talks to me, I usually try not to make an
  issue out of it.
  I always say what’s on my mind when I am upset with someone. It’s always better.
  When my job is getting to me, I really try not to take it out on my family.
