Yikes...

It seems the little task I got handed yesterday is a live one. There's a problem with a product that must get out the door by the end of the month, and I got tagged as the available "expert." I guess there was a reason they stepped on the gas a bit with the hiring process!

It's exciting, of course... I like being in the thick of things, and I like challenges. As for stress... I think my real stress these days comes from trying to keep the rest of my life on the rails. I'm not used to having such a large chunk of every weekday completely occupied by work. The reduction in stress from having a steady income is the flip side, of course: I got a bit tired of diving further and further into debt.

So which trains are in danger of running off the rails?

Although I think your job is more challenging than mine, I can emphasise on the "adjusting to the 9 to 5 schedule" thing. Before if I didn't do something... I would do it tomorow. Or the day after, no rush right? Now with so much less free time, I can't do that anymore.

If only there was a way to have the free time of unemployment and the income of work...
