Stress Status: In Remittance

A couple of days ago I wrote about a fatal condition that I was suffering from. While it is true that I suffered from stress this weekend, through to the beginning of the work week, I am pleased to report that I have fully recovered. I no longer have stress.

While it wasn’t directly mentioned, the stress was primarily driven by work. This is not something that I normally allow myself to stress out about, but this is not always something in my control. When I left work on Friday it was nearly 9:30 p.m., and I had far from an empty plate at work. For the most part I was still able to enjoy my weekend, but there was the looming thought of work overhead.

I am pleased to report that I completed all of my non-low priority work items before the close of business yesterday. Unfortunately a late, and long, conference call kept me from home until the late evening (and put more high-priority work items in my lap for Tuesday). But I, again, bounced back and completed all work items on Tuesday, including a seemingly endless barrage of meetings and conference calls.

But again, just as I was going to leave at a reasonable time, another high priority item came in and kept me at work for another four hours. Pleasantly, I was able to complete this task and clear my plate for tomorrow. (Bonus: I was originally meant to travel tomorrow but now I do not have to!)

Despite a run of long work days I am quite happy and stress free. It has meant that I didn’t get to wash my running stuff, and won’t be able to run tomorrow, but things are looking up for running on Thursday, in addition to seeing a movie and preparing my arm for some Wii tennis on Friday.
