Don't vent to anyone at work. They don't care and they have their own issues. If you vent to the company snitch - the one who tells the boss everything - you could be making a big mistake. And if you vent to someone who wants your job, you could give them the ammunition they need to get it. Just keep your mouth closed and if things are that bad, come home and vent to your cat. Or set aside time to speak privately with your boss, keeping in the back of your mind that you should probably start looking for another job.
I used to suffer badly with PTSD and this helped enormously. It was often too much to face 'breaking the day down hour by hour' but quarters, I could do. They work better around your life pattern - even if you're at work, there's a clean line between the quarters and especially in PTSD or Anxiety which relies on adrenaline... You're rarely ever feeling quite as bad as you did 4 hours ago. Obviously sometimes the adrenaline came back that day, but drawing a line around each quarter really helped move on from it x

Only works for Gmail. Use +anything, replace anything by the name of the company you're giving tot address to , ie yourname+pepsi@gmail.com to easily see who leaked your address and to create filters.
good advice! Apparently Yahoo can handle disposable addresses too, but you have to enable them in settings and enter each keyword ahead of time.

I don't understand this one. Can somebody explain for me? I am not the most versed in email hacks.
If I understand correctly, when you enter your email address in an online form, if you add +(number) before the @ in your OWN email, you will still get the email sent to your address but it will now have a "label". So it both registers as a new email for the website (for free trial purposes, etc) and also so you can see if they sell your email address to another company (if you use different numbers for each different website)

It also allows you to track if your submitted email has been sold on to other companies. Though I'd use 01 instead of 1 so you can use the trick 99 times. Just keep a text document on your desktop with the list of email addresses ####+01@email.com = Bestbuy.com .... ####+02@email.com = pinterest.com etc. Another variant is to just use the company name so for sears, you'd use your email address with +sears before the @ symbol. Companies who sell-on your email are easily then IDed as ones to not buy from.
Yeah except that half the websites out there use shitty regex and their website will tell you it's an invalid email. This has been SO infuriating for me and SO frequent that a lot of times I don't even bother trying anymore. It's bullshit because it's an amazing feature of Gmail.
Laughing hard because totally heard that in Moe's voice

Even better would be b.ob@gmail(dot)com. You can have multiple email addresses on Gmail, if you seperate the letters in the email address with dots, and it will still send the email to it. Example - bob@gmail = b.ob@gmail = bo.b@gmail = b.o.b@gmail
A huge caveat IMO: Scammers can simply remove the "+xxx" and have your personal address so I suggest creating a disposable.
Works on my Exchange email. I had been creating aliases, will use this sometimes too.
I have an email account just for this reason. Get the discount or whatever, and eventually change the designation to spam.
Just note this is gmail-specific and may not work with other email providers.
Can be anything after the plus, you can also use it to filter 'sent to bob+1@gmaildotcom'
Pro tip: if feeling lazy, don't provide your email as "lastname@gmail.com" (replace "lastname" with your actual name). Someone will have that address and may end up getting emails you wouldn't want them to see. Source: I have such a gmail address. It's amazing what kind of confidential information I get.
Yup. I have "firstnamelastname@gmail.com", and apparently there are a lot of people (especially in the UK) with my same name, who think they have my email address. It's usually a case of entering the email without adding on the "13" or "1985" or whatever on to the end of it. I've received confirmation of credit card #s, military orders, money transfer info, and other really personal stuff.

Nope, try periods. so if your email is - redpencil, you could have red.pencil, re.dpencil, r.edpencil... and they will all go to your original (redpencil) email
not true, my gmail has a dot in it; I do not receive emails without the dot, or with misplaced dots

This should not work, computers translate into binary number, there is no way that name = name+1 name = 01101110 01100001 01101101 01100101 name+1 = 01101110 01100001 01101101 01100101 00101011 00110001 name in hexa =6e616d65 name+1 in hexa =6e616d652b31 If it does work... Security flaw !!!! imagine someone opening a new email and adding +1 because want they wanted was unavailable, it's the first account that would receive your emails.
The bit before the @ is the username and this can have whatever format the provider wants to use. It can even be case sensitive. Google have obviously chosen to make + mean a suffix to be ignored. Other characters also have special meaning in email addresses and I remember we used to use % to send an email via a different route, though this is likely to be rejected now as it was used for spamming. It actually looks like a really useful thing to do, as you can add a suffix that indicates who you gave the address to and when it ends up in a list of hacked accounts you know who it was that has been compromised.

Yup. Say it and forget it; write it and regret it. I would also only vent to the people who smoked weed on their lunch break and such. Mutually assured destruction.
They didn't. They shared it on Twitter. Bored Panda then copied it and pasted it to make money from it.
