I got my first dose of work-related stress at the new job today. Yowza. It was like the SFN monster was standing at the control panel turning up a dial.

I know in the past my intestines were always a good measure of stress load, but NOTHING as quick and immediate as this. I'm really going to have to work on figuring out a way to deal with better. The good news is that they're all used to people doing weird things to deal with it. The owner himself does two things..

1. Takes a baseball and just paces back and forth in the grassy area in the back occasionally tossing it in the air

2. Goes into our "ping-pong room" and hits a ping-pong ball against the wall.

It seems like all the women just eat chocolate.
