(+) Yeah! (+)

It's taxing creativity-wise being an aspiring writer, but it's not stressing by any means.

Friends,

I am 61 and retired.
I go to the University, and take Spanish. grades do not matter.

Its fun being around the young kids.

my job is to take naps.. watch TV, play video games.

Its not stressful at all, its boring.

wish we all could retire. most people are about 20-25 years away from the earliest option. the money will be gone in that time.

Accuracy is important in pharmacy, so it's a little stressful.

But I'm not being crushed under stress and starting/ending every day with a mixture of rage and depression like I was at CVS, so I'm really not stressed at all in comparison.

Some days yes, many days no. Mostly depends on the time of year.

Im at a conference this week, and most of the rest of folks are on spring break so its pretty quiet.

CVS is absolutely the fucking worst

At work I need to be of solid mind to consolidate packages to pallets so I don't scan something into the wrong store, nowadays we have same store number but different store id which is a bit of a problem as we'
re in peak season and everyone's in rush mode. When I'm not doing that the most I have keep an eye on is when I'm break pack picking to make sure I put the correct amount of product into the bag/box so that the count back is correct. You get 2 tries when you do this fail both and you get locked up and have to call inventory to come over and yell at you, thankfully I
ve learned that the gun has a bit of a cheat in it that lets you see the number of product in the row so if I'm feeling lazy or a tired I can just scan the row, see how much is there from the gun, take what I need, subtract the total and move on. I know they know I do this yet nobody's confronted me on it, probably because whenever I do it I usually count the unopened boxes as well as what's in the open boxes to make sure the number in the row lines up with the number on the gun, if the numbers are off depending on my mood I may just ignore it or I'll purposely let myself get locked up on it if I feel there's a concern that needs to be addressed like say the gun saying there's 2000 picks of the product there when there's only 1 cs of 50 in the row, even if the count is enough for me to get through my current order if I leave something like that there it's just gonna cause problems for me in a later order so I let myself get locked up and watch inventory get frustrated at whichever picker didn't replenish correctly or something.

When we aren't in peak season I love it, I finish my work early and basically just bum around the warehouse cleaning up stuff til they either get rid of me with VTO time or put me on some kind of time waster. During those times I basically let the manchild in me out mentally. This dustmop? It's my sword, this broom, my staff, this duster? My grappling hook, this mentality? My shining beacon of eternal chastity!

My last job, yes.

My new job, not yet.

Drone pilot is mostly pretty non stressful. Push button, watch drone.

Until you're close to air traffic, then it's very stressful.

I work at a power plant. Summer time thunderstorms are stressful and ice storms with high winds in the winter. And when the plant trips? The shit hits the fan and its extremely high stress. But when things are running normal it can be a real Homer Simpson kick back job.

Mine is like an 11/10 almost nonstop for the last few months. Its terrible on my health and relationships and I am breaking. Trying to find something else.

I never understood how bad stress can be but definitely get it now.
