How I wish I had stock in that tea! With what I drink of it, I'd be a comfortable gal indeed!

As I'm getting older, I'm getting better at the "don't go borrowing trouble" thing and not worrying about things until they come to pass. I used to work well under pressure - you sort of have to in IT or you burn out fast. I think that's what I finally did though - I burned out and just couldn't "take it" any more. Of course the 12am phone calls about computers being broken were a definite contributor. Now, it's ready when it's ready and it's serviced when it's serviced (within reason of course) and I don't get a lot of panic calls anymore.
I'm 41 next month and my blood pressure is in range when I go to the doctor (in fact it's finally normal. I've been low most of my life) but I bet there are days it's high thanks to the stress of the day.
