Stress

[cjsmith]

Overwhelmed. Overwhelmed. Overwhelmed. Deer in headlights. Mind running in frantic little circles. Failing to do even the simplest useful thing.

I hate this.

Deep breath. Time to list what I've done right today:
- Remembered to bring a bunch of crap in to work (stuff that's been waiting to come in for days).
- Made sure to talk to architect about New Feature that landed on my plate last night.
- Went to bookstore and to library at lunch to look for reference book to help with New Feature. (Didn't find a copy at either place, though.)
- Even got LUNCH at lunch.
- Wrote list of things-we've-tested for meeting. Wasn't needed, but I wrote it & was ready.
- Found some old demo code that will help build New Feature.
- Figured out a workaround that fixes a key test application we need. (For days it has been crashing immediately upon start.)
- Failed to take ANYBODY'S head off. Didn't even bring an axe to work.

That may be about it.

Have you found a kind of exercise that's feet-friendly (that you don't loathe, I mean)?

Hahahahahahaha no. That's the worst thing about this foot stuff. I loathe swimming.

Thanks for the shoulder rub offer! I'm not sure whether I'm going to the same Thing you're attending, but if I am I'll see you there.
