Was working on a major project recently and had the opportunity to put stress in perspective. One of my parents had a stroke the week I needed to be working on the release. Nothing is more fucked up in the modern workplace than how people will perceive such unfortunate events as "convenient". Like you made it up to avoid the stresses of work. Fuck work. Most the stress is contrived due to some BS deadline created by someone trying to meet the deadline placed on them ultimately to make sure it fits in a given financial quarter.
