new job

yo.
Well if you have noticed about my journal when I talk about myself and how I handle stress, it's always oddly. Or better yet, not up front. I rarely look upset, well at least I don't think I ever look upset. Sure every now and then I have allowed some emotions bubble up on my face but I like to think that I have a very even personality. So when I do get stressed out or upset, those emotions come out in other ways.

Not sleeping, much.

My new job (titled Paperchase Merchandiser) is like being a one person store owner. I am responsible for putting all the items out, processing all shipments and dumpstering and inventorying all product, 3 times. That last official person (I'm still not trying to speak back about her) was either a) gave up on organizing stuff as she was leaving or b) a 'chaos is order' sort of person. Everything is everywhere. I am working a bit uphill and it worries me. Right now my eta of having the stock rooms navagatable is mid August.

blah.
So I wake up early as I have been thinking about it and it's just no good. I'm drinking way more coffee type stuff (vanilla latte's) and eating out more then I would like. Also I started up my second job (Ann Taylor Loft) again as I work at a stock person. Easy work, but it's at the end of my day downtown. Yesterday I had to pay for parking as I didn't have enough time to go home and drop off the car.

fun stuff:
So I drive more now and I am listening to music. Since I don't have infinite funds to get new music all the time, I have decided to listen to audio books. Audio books annoy me. They take away the imagination side of reading fiction and so usually I avoid them. But then I thought, "I could listen to non-fiction" as this is all fact and the most they (the reader) could do is stress something I wouldn't.
So I got (through audible.com) Omnivores Dilemma, A Whole new Mind and An Edible History of Humanity.
Hopefully this wasn't a waste.
Can anyone recommend any other non-fiction works that I should listen to?

audio books, work, stress
