Speed it up a notch...

So, in the next two weeks...

The United States will select its president for the next four years, and by extension its de facto political paradigm for the foreseeable future.

Boston will go crazy as the Red Sox enter the world series for the first time in eighteen years.

Our not-so-merry band of players will push through fraught rehearsals and bring Macbeth to the stage.

My project at work will deliver its final code release.

I'll start losing my wife to business travel four days a week.

engaging afterburners

I will be twitchy, I will be bloodshot, and if I've still got anything left after November 7th small animals will flee from me. Bring it on.

Yeah, stress looms on the horizon. If it makes you feel anybetter, [livejournal.com profile] antoniseb is away for 6 months. Four days isn't that bad.

Burdocks. Chocolate. Name the time.

When things get crazy, just let me know.

I'll be right there gibbering with you. I don't have the work project or the loss of wife, but I do have two None of the Above performances (plus new material to learn), and 3-4 days a week of computer rollouts. I took last week off, but other than that I've been on full burn since september....

Maybe we should have a 'no-stress allowed' get together for all the people with our affliction... but chances are we're unlikely to find a day people could make it because we all have so many things happening.

Now I'll have REM stuck in my head all day. You are evil I say, evil!

Sounds like you'll be bored. I have timewasters if you need 'em.

Why stress over either of these? There's nothing to be done in either case. You want to take the world on your shoulders, of course you can build stress levels past the breaking point.

Just four words here: "Bring on the gaming."

I'd start with Knights of the Old Republic.
