NERD 
RAGE 
How to not lose your cool when it gets to be 
too much 
Doug Tate 
University of Central Arkansas 
Student Staff Training 
August 6th, 2014
Overview 
Expectations vs. Reality 
The Worst Night Ever 
Beating the Boss Level
Expectations 
One of the most 
rewarding experiences 
you’ll have. 
Your community is 
going to thrive. 
You are going to be 
great. 
But sometimes…
Expectations 
One of the most 
rewarding experiences 
you’ll have. 
Your community is 
going to thrive. 
You are going to be 
great. 
But sometimes…
There will be times where 
nothing seems to go right. 
Duty’s Law: 
“The duty phone always rings 
the latest the night before 
you have to be up the 
earliest.” 
But, you have to stay calm 
when things go wrong, trust 
me… 
Reality
“Screamers, Boards, 
& Tiles” 
The Tale of Doug’s Worst 
Night on Duty
The night in question…
The aftermath…
What did I do wrong?
Don’t pull a Doug, (circa 2010) 
Life is going to get stressful. This job IS stressful. 
Let’s look at some ways to deal with that stress.
Rest! 
I know, I know… 
We need sleep to function 
No one likes a grumpy-gus
Lighten your Load 
ResLifers tend to be 
HIGHLY involved 
Take a step back and be 
objective 
Class, RA, Social, 
Organizations
Get out of the Hall! 
How often do you escape 
“job mode”? 
Community is 
important… 
so is your sanity
Exercise 
Biggest stress reliever 
Feel better, work better 
Plus, encourages other 
strategies
Recharge your batteries 
Know how you energize 
Schedule time to recharge 
Be aware of fellow staff
Just Say No! 
You aren’t a superhero 
It’s okay to ask someone to 
come to you later, most of 
the time 
Refer. Use your fellow staff.
