El Stresso de Mayo

I Feel A Little Bit Like This

I Feel A Little Bit Like This

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I want two things: A piñata hung up in front of me, and a bat in my hands. It would have to be strong piñata, one that wouldn’t break with only a couple strikes; it will take more than a couple to get rid of the stress. I don’t care what’s in the piñata, it wouldn’t be for me. I just want to be the guy to break it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an aggressive guy. I don’t anger easily. But for some reason, little things are driving me crazy. It’s similar to being poked in the arm when you’re stricken with a fever. Every little poke, or prod, drives me crazy. I want to scream, “Get away from me!” or “Leave me alone!” or just plainly: “Aaaahh!”

Maybe it’s the malaria pills. I have been told they make you go a little crazy. Or maybe it’s the fact that the 101st Airborne Division is driving me nuts with all their rules and changes. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it means nothing to them. It could be the super slow (if it works at all) internet I pay $70 a month for, or the phone lines that cut out every time I try to talk to Stephanie. It could be that my work computer freezes on me every five minutes, or one of the countless other things I’ve complained about in previous posts. It could be any of those things, maybe it’s all of them put together, or maybe I’m realizing I can only make the best out of every situation for so long…sooner or later you realize how dumb the situation really is.

I don’t like feeling like this. I’m much better as a happy-go-lucky guy with a constant smile on my face and I know in a few days I will, once again, be one. I’ve been stressed out before and it always goes away. Until then, I just need to relax alone, take a couple breaths, and tell myself over and over and over again: two more months, two more months, two more months…

    Maybe you need to take it out on a copy/fax machine like in office space.

    It’s definitely gotta be the 101st Airborne Division.

    Geronimo nothing.

    So, a few weeks ago at church the pastor was talking about stress. He said there was a guy at his past church that had been through a lot in his life, but now goes around stating “To blessed to be stressed” I wanted to run to work and write that on my screen saver at work so I could remember to say it too myself over and over again while working. Problem is, the screen saver never comes on cause I am working on the computer all the time. Oh well, say that a few time over and over and see if it helps.
