How I can be this arrogant AND this stressed out?

Dec 07, 2003 22:36

My jaws hurt. I have been grinding my teeth for days. Work is hell right now. The sever stress has been weighing on me for a week. When I get stressed, I abuse food. I really need to start running again. I bet I have gained 7lbs in the last 7 days.

I have been gulping hot tea down like I have stock in Celestial Seasonings. It is my way of relieving stress and distracting me from food. It isn't working.

In the past I have always been able to tell the difference between "good stress" and "anxiety". Well, my "good stress" has peaked to the point now that I can no longer distinguish if work is really really bad, or if someone swapped out my Paxil with a placebo.

In between thinking about work, I have been working on my Crown Vic. All the power is wired through the firewall, but I don't have my auxillary battery yet. My laptop is mounted and my wig wags and remote start are installed. I got my center console in the mail friday and took an hour or so to put it in as well.

Things left to do:
1. Install 2m/440 NMO antenna
2. Install 2m/440 Ham Radio
3. Instal BC870XLT
4. Install Auxillary Battery
5. Install "Deep Cycle" conditioner
6. Install Battery Isolator (from Hellroaring Technologies)
7. Wire in user interface for BI. (2 meters, 2 switches, and a light)
8. Install PA/Siren/Radio Repeat
9. Install new drivers seat (with butt warmer)
10. Add Cruise Control.
11. Replace hubcap (AGAIN!)
12. Shim body parts back in place.
13. Spot weld the base of the A-frame
14. Acquire and install a new radio
15. Move the XM radio over from the Explorer
16. Win the lottery and add a supercharger w/ intercooler and some fat tires

The Explorer is becoming more and more empty. You could almost hear and echo in there now. Anyone need a well used 1994 Ford Explorer Sport with 230K? The transmission barely has 65K on it. Loaded BUT... Windshield is cracked, passenger's door needs to be skinned, and has 8 years of coffee stains. It runs well, but needs to be cleaned up ($1500).
