To infinity and beyond!

I am going to try to depart from my usual "witty" one-liner journal entries, and actually put a little of me "out there" so to speak. In order to do this, you must suffer through the banality of my life tongue

I am a software programmer that currently works for a manufacturing company. Over the time that I have been there (its been 7 months) I have been given more and more responsibility. I do not have a defined job description, and of late have been more or less placed in charge of our order processing, to ensure that accurate sales figures make it to the accountants. On top of this I do basic IT manager stuff, and I write customizations to the financial software that we use.

I am not sure how I feel about being a "manager." I have never been very good at relying on other people to get things done right. It is something of an adjustment for me. Add this to the fact that I have a 40 minute commute now (whereas for the better part of the last 5 years I have lived within about 5 minutes of work) and I am having to digest alot more stress.

It is adding some pressure to my daily life. I go a long way out of my way to keep my stress level low, because I don't have a great deal of tolerance for stress, and it wrecks my health pretty quickly. I can deal with short-term pressure situations well, but anything sustained leads to suffering.

I need to learn to relax some. I have some hobbies that help (painting figurines), but I really need to learn some meditation techniques or something.

So, this leads to ask you: What is it that you do to deal with stress? Do you handle pressure well, or do you collapse into a basket case?

All lives have deadening banality; all have mind shattering excitement. They only take different forms and show themselves at different times. (I think I've more of the former. smile )

I take off one day each month to rest and to do whatever floats into mind. One day isn't enough to interrupt my work, but it is enough to prepare me for more. I learned an interesting relaxation technique last month: try to clear you mind of conscious thought and count your breaths up to ten. If thoughts slip in and you find yourself thinking of something, start again. It will take several tries, but by ten I feel much calmer. Have a restful weekend.
