So I have to do this absolutely ridiculous assignment for a class in school where I analyze the stressors in my life. This is what I came up with:


So SEN, what stresses you out? Pointless users who only contribute to the null forum? I want to hear.

1. Bills.
2. Deadlines at work that have to be met no matter what.
3. A general lack of free time.

What Devlin said. Except 1, and it's schoolwork instead of regular work. A ton of it.

Seriously? Apple stresses you out?

It's becoming cool to hate Apple, but they're a very good company. Their user interfaces are superb (though I personally prefer the Microsoft Metro GUI of WP7 and the flexibility of W7 over their products) and their hardware is unparalleled (the iPhone 4 has no real competitors to this day - though others have sped ahead in the processor arena because the last one was released a year ago, the screen is still the best there is, the camera is better than most except in dedicated cameraphones, the battery life is unparalleled on smartphones of its caliber, etc). Stop getting stressed out that people like a good company.

1. Humanity.
   

All others possible are encapsulated as subsets thereof.

Entropy ;_;

Class, graduation, loans, money, family in general, noise, people twitching, talking, popping bubble gum, the past, the future. Pretty much anything. I really want to go hide in the mountains, far away from internet or phone or anything, for like two months. I'd be so happy.

Can I come too?

• No free-time.
  
• Fear of losing job due to ball-hogs at MS (I know this fear is irrational, but w/e).
  
• Bills.
  
• Must be prepared for college financially.
  
• My car might break down any time.

In order of most relevant to least.

NOTE: Not in order from greatest to least; simply in order that I thought of them.

1. Calculus II¹
   
2. Parents
   
3. Drivers
   
4. Women²
   
5. Not sufficiently trolling Null

¹I've accepted I'll be taking it again. I need a C or better for Chemistry, and the way it's taught here, in combination with my general lack of cooperation with homework, makes it kinda impossible.

²They make no logical sense. At all. Half of the time I feel like I'm being trolled, the other half I know I am.

1. Feeling like a walking flaw
2. Failing expectations I have for myself. Almost constant.

Seems like everything just falls under 2. Couldn't give a shit about anything else (?)

More specifically.

1. Messing up in anything ever. I'm learning to bypass this fear.
2. Remembering things I have done wrong. To the point where I will cringe and spazz (physically)
3. Feeling totally abnormal/freakish/oddball
4. The fear of doing bad on a test (as opposed to getting a bad test back)
5. Not meeting up to my music lesson quota (speaking of which brb)/any other quota

• Everyone
  
• Everyone
  
• Everyone
  
• Everyone
  
• Everyone
  

Seriously, I am like the go-to-guy to solve everyone's problems everyday. It is usually at the last minute too!

- Not playing my precious cod <3
- Staying in cramped spaces like a cubicle
- Work
- Need and want of many making me Work
- People as RIVE stated quite well
- Coming up with interesting things to say to my irl friends
- Being a social outcast
- Constant fear of death
- Fear of being scammed

Is this long enough

1. People who refuse to think for themselves.
2. Schools' inability to discern what's actually important.
3. Those who repeatedly make poor decisions.
4. Allegiances to or fanaticism for almost anything.
5. The sorry state of our society and the culture we engender.

Faz, you need to take a chill pill. SD should not be the #1 worry in your life. Or, if it truly is, then you've got one fucking awesome life dude. Stop coming to SEN and go enjoy it man.


As for my worries:

That about sums it up.

1. general personal failings
2. financial debt
3. health
4. the concept of love

SD is pretty irrelevant, actually. It's more people who actually have the power to do a lot of good in this world and are too blind to see it.

No.

That's a rather fancy way of saying "lol, y u mad though?"

I am generally quite relaxed. I do feel light frustration from time to time in my life, but I'm unsure what the reasons are. It might be the problem of the human condition or something...

Ever since I read that tiny book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work I haven't had stress...
