It's gotta be the adrenaline and shit. Man, most of the time I'm sort of in a daze but getting in a nasty aggressive argument really makes me feel really good. Like, I can focus better, I'm more forward emotionally, it's like getting into that fight broke me out of depression.

Let's hope that those happy joy joy feelings last while you're waiting in line at the unemployment office!

Eh, I've stayed at this job for too long. At least this will be an impetus for me to put more energy into finding something better.

I can see it now, on Tuesday (after the holiday) OP will make a new thread of "Can you file unemployment benefit if you fought with your boss?" :)

I've only ever done that once. Boss was a screamer, one day he screamed a little to loud and I went off on him, backed him against the wall with my nose half an inch from his screaming obscenity's at him. All I could think about was how long I'd spend in jail if I put him down. I chickened out and didn't touch him. Surprisingly, he didn't fire me. Felt pretty good, and he never raised his voice around me again.

I've only ever done that once at work, but not with a boss. We were in the field, luckily, and in a car with me in the driver seat. She called me an asshole, said I drove like a granny, and proceeded to bawl and wail.

Did you whip it out?

It doesn't count if you didn't whip it out.

Actually you really may not be that far off. It's possible that you have some sort of disorder. e.g. some of the adrenaline junkies actually are 'self-medicating' a depressive disorder.

I have some pretty nasty unipolar depression. A few years ago, I got pulled-over by the cops for a really trivial reason and gave him some flack for it. First time I had been stopped by the police in probably 15 years. I was all amped-up for the next two or even three hours, I felt really awesome. I felt totally hypomanic. In fact, just like you, it so impressed me how "well" I felt, the first time I felt like this in YEARS, that I actually had to tell somebody the next day about the experience.

Closest I've come to it is fist fighting a co-worker in the bosses office.

I don't know the scenario. If there are any regrets, suck it up and apologize.

Not happening. I think I'm going to keep it humming for a while, if just for the little rush I get from the conflict. That and it'll be energy and motivation to find a better job, which I've been too complacent about.

You know I've worked with my two bosses for so long and it's such a great relationship I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to work with someone you get into an actual fight with.

No kidding

I haven't worked with them long, but to scream at each other... what a weird situation.

He wanted you to make fries, when you already had the grill station?

It's clear you like dick, dick.

In my 20's I had a boss that kicked holes in walls, told me I was fired, I never lost my job.

I would copy my middle finger or leave a note on his desk about it.

When I left that company to go back to college, he lost his fucking mind.
