I rarely get stressed out by my work load. I've usually worked in an environment where many people look at the work load and quit, or just ignore it and do the work they want to, rather than the work that has to get done.

That doesn't stress me out. I want to know what has to be done, by when, then I'll figure out how to get it done.

But this afternoon I had series of emails and phone calls with people who were all very stressed out. That stresses me out.

Now I'm off to climb a 14er, forfeiting any time I could have been putting toward teaching high-schoolers on Sunday. I'm just not convinced that the 14 mile hike of climbing Long's Peak is the best place to prepare an attention-keeping presentation.
