But now I'm in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, working with kiddos with autism and their families, helping with assessments, doing program development, analyzing data, writing reports, and supervising behavior therapists. Stress was probably a 7 for the first 7 months, but more due to being overworked and having nearly twice the caseload I do now, with half of it 40 miles away. Now that I have a reasonable caseload and rarely have to drive more than 15 miles from home, and often get to work from home, it's about a 3.<br /><br />And for good customer service-- I benefit in no way from saying this, but Running Warehouse is amazing. Phone or email the response is so fast. Good return policy. Free shipping and returns. Fast return processing.

I'm starting to think the trade off is not worth it. I wouldn't mind a stress level that was higher if I could leave behind all the idiots.<br /><br />Also, I've been wanting to buy the Yonanas thing, but then it's just ONE more kitchen appliance that we have.

Oh, not the first week, or even the second. Those feel like sneaky vacation time... and I'm still optimistic that more work is right around the corner. But by the third week I'm convinced something is horribly wrong, I've made some hideous unknown error and the universe is punishing me by withholding work. I start living on Craigslist and considering all sorts of deadly dull minimum wage tortures.<br /><br />The other thing that stresses me out is some weird grammar thing that I can't find a rule about because my knowledge of the parts of speech is so lame I don't know what to call it to research the right way to write it.

Obviously during the semester I am slammed with emails, papers, exams, pointless meetings, etc. But more generally, there is pressure to publish, sit on committees, advise, etc, and since we have no supervisor it's sort of up to us to figure everything out. So, it's stressful knowing that some day I may or may not get tenure based on what I'm doing now. Not sure if that makes sense to people outside my profession or not, but I will say that not having a boss is just as stressful as having one.

The trade-off is that it's not exactly glamorous, and people meeting me for the first time assume I'm an idiot. ("Oh, you nanny! That's... nice." Etc.)<br /><br />I will say that I used to teach and every day was AT LEAST a 9. If I made it through a day without crying on the floor of the faculty bathroom during my planning period, I'd be high-fiving myself on the way home. But my school was an utterly dysfunctional, underfunded, over-red-taped Title I nightmare. <br /><br />Ahh my chest actually constricted just writing that, just from the memories.

We also have opening later this week. I'd say my stress level is at a high 7 with bouts of 8 thrown in to spice it up. I get nervous/stressed anyway so right now I have broken out in stress rashes. It sucks. If I didn't have to work last weekend (or this weekend) I would barricade the door to my apt and not come out... at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-40914993839367830222013-08-27T20:48:26.902-04:002013-08-27T20:48:26.902-04:00Have you tried putting chocolate sauce and nuts on...Have you tried putting chocolate sauce and nuts on the yonanas?

Generally a 3 or so, unless I'm facilitating a conference (read: public speaking for 8 hours a day in front of my boss)...then it's like a 6 or 7. Oh, and I am a consultant for the Dept of Defense. DoD doesn't do ANYTHING quickly, so that's probably why it isn't so stressful ;)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-42051639032664136792013-08-27T20:47:44.724-04:002013-08-27T20:47:44.724-04:00Hahaha job?
