if you're in brooklyn that comes with the territory, are you starting a club

I was, but then a solid day's yardwork and a few beers fixed that.

I was, but I asked for a few days off of work - and preceded to make sure all I did on that off time was play video games, play guitar/bass, and watch TV. Had some nice veg-out time. A great way for me to recharge

Stressed, yes- stressed out, I don't think so, no. Not fully, anyway.

Had 5 jobs this year, up at 0645 on a Sunday morning posting on talkbass, can't sleep, want to start smoking again, car goes off the road this week.

Yeah, I am stressed.

UnsungZeros · #7 09-26-2010, 01:20 AM

Yes. I'm a grad student.

Uggh, to the point of alcohol and recreational drugs.

As a computer science/engineering undergrad, I've three exams on Tuesday, then three again on Wednesday and I've little no to idea regarding four of the six subjects.

I've to finish three large assignments up until Friday.

I've got band rehearsals for a big forthcoming gig every day of the week from tomorrow onwards.

And I'm wasting my time on TB.

I can safely say I'm stressed out

Taking the IB
Playing for the school football team
Student League of Nations coming up
Student Council
Band #1 - Virtuoso guitarist rips off Soilwork and slags off Sabbath (I'm only really still in it 'cus they're my friends)
Band #2 - Bluesy pop style stuff somewhere between BRMC and the very poppy Oasis stuff
Band #3 - Blues trio, not got going yet
Band #4 - Grade band, no idea yet

So I'm pretty busy, but stressed out? Not yet...

DrSmaggs · #11 09-26-2010, 03:20 AM

Yes, and it's messing up my sleep. I'm considering seeking a doctor about it, as I keep waking up in various parts of the house with no memory of walking there.

Time to set up some aluminum cans or another noise maker to wake me up when I stumble about the house

5StringBlues · #12 09-26-2010, 03:26 AM

I can't answer under all this pressure!

whenever I am stressed out I "take it out on the Missus" if you catch my meaning...She doesn't seem to mind (

), and Imma get happy.

I'm pretty stressed right now. I have a broken heel which doesn't allow me to work and make money (for 2 weeks now), my 1 year old daughter has a broken right wrist and broken right leg (2 separate incidences), my wife is having some kind of problem with her inner ear, and my son turns 3 in 2 weeks. Childrens Services came to visit our house to see why my daughter has had 2 broken bones in 1 month. It's been crazy here lately but we're hanging on. My wife broke down 2 days ago and bawled for like 2 hours straight. I really couldn't do anything but sit there and be there. Kind of sucks to have to pay the bills without being able to.

I'm busy as hell, slowly becoming a hermit, don't get enough sleep, don't have money for rent (or textbooks), can't find a job because a) the economy sucks and b)part-time work for a full-time student is nearly impossible to find right now...

But stressing over it is counter productive. I'll just stay busy until things get better.

I don't know, man...it seems that life is a party for everyone around me. But I guess there is that saying, "Life is what you make of it"...

MJ5150 · #17 09-26-2010, 09:34 AM

Just the usual each weekend for my football teams. Other than that, nope.

I'm sort of in the same boat, except I have been a hermit for years now.

I have a full time, extremely demanding (physically and mentally) job and I'm trying to be a part time student. If I continue to be a student (it'll probably take another 8 years going at this rate) I'll have to get a full time night job in a totally different field and totally rearrange my entire life (and really be non existent to the outside world) because 80% of the classes I need to take are not available at night. So once I get to that point, I don't know what I'll do.

I'm wondering if I'm just wasting my time.
sometimes I just want to take a job making copies...

I go through period of stress..

For a couple months, I'll be completely stress free and blissfully unaware of any possible negative thing. Then for afew months I'll constantly be on edge.

Right now I'm in the "on edge" period.

Pilgrim · #20 09-26-2010, 03:09 PM

No problem. Work full time, teach online, serve on one advisory board and one homeowners' board, keep five cars running, do home repairs, and play bass in a surf hobby band.

Doesn't everyone do this stuff?

However, I do have trouble finding time to restore my '58 Fiat Spyder. Maybe I can go on strike for a 30-hour day so I can have a bit more time to do stuff.
