Stress

M

One thing I have unfortunately developed over the years is my sometimes terrible behaviour.

Just to name a few:

1) I am swearing like a trooper
2) I snap over sometimes over small things and not even that big a deal of set backs but I still can't handle set backs sometimes almost feel like Steve Balmer throwing a chair.
3) I am hardly ever in a good mood these days.
4) I feel like I am horribly stressed out from such long hours and weekends

The other day at work we had some terrible set backs. The one shipment of high pressure vessels was supposed to arrive but it was late by one entire week. That is a long freaking time in the energy industry.

And I was yelling at people it was not cool.

I don't like the direction I am going in.

My father getting ill has made me even worse and even less cooperative and less responsive.

Also I am swearing at a ridiculous level that seems almost inhuman.

There is sometimes so much pressure on me it is insane. If I don't get things back up and running on time the investors lose millions upon millions of dollars forget about Rands.

I have now got the nick name "Terminator" like Arnie from what I have heard from others around the plant.

I don't like the direction I am going in life.

I just want t retire now and go and have a peaceful stress free life :(

So much pressure makes me feel like I am turning into some kind of animal.

I just want to retire early or else these ridiculous levels of stress will drive me insane
 
Okay I can see why you are stressed out. Your work life is a mess and then in your personal life you have your father and his health problems.
Okay here is my take on your situation. Everything is basically falling apart all at once and you are losing control. You like order, you like a system. With work it's about the pieces falling into place at right time and place. With the shipment being late it's throwing your schedule off.
Then on top of that your father is ill.
At work I would get with the people involved in the shipment of the parts you need and figure out what is the delay and a solution for it. If it's still going to be delayed , I would make sure to cya (yourself and people you work with) make sure you have your paperwork in order. Have everything ready to go on your end. That will allow you to regain control of the situation on your end and by making sure you covered your backside and those who work with you it will give you credit with your fellow employees. Sure they will think your a hot head who blows his fuse but they will also see you as someone who has their back
Now for your father. My suggestion is get him checked out by health proffesionals and come up with a plan to get him back on track.
One final thing on your off days you have no job. You don't take phone calls, check emails. Let your off days be about you. Go for a drive, read a book, go fishing, sitting around the back yard , what ever it is just relax and unwind.

hey stinky... dude... i feel your pain!!!!

dont know exactly what to tell ..
as we all get more $$.. more responsibility... more pressure.
it will push you .. to your limits...
but.. you will finally know your limits.
here are a few things that might help....
1. you need a girl!!! someone to help depressurize your stress.. and fill your off-time with good vibes. to help offset the work vibes. well this is kind of double edge sword. :p
2. get a hobby... something to give your joy.. and focus your mind off work .. when you are off work.
3. get OUT. if the pressure is too much.. then you need to reduce it. step down out of the leadership role. get into a different career?
4. if you have the funds.. retire. i have been dreaming of this too. but i dont have the funds. if i did.. here is what i want... catamaran sailboat. check this out:

Lol thank you dan buddy :)

You make some very good points I think you are right actually... yes I am single and maybe I do need a girl :) But only a girl that will help calm me down and be very loving and sweet kind of thing :D

It's terrible living like this ... :(

My nick name is the "Terminator" thats what I have heard other people say it is a terrible nick name to have I thought they would say something nice not nasty :(

It's just been the last couple of months that have been bad. Just a little bit too much going on.

I work so many hours a day and even weekends! I feel like I never get a break!

Yes I think I am going to maybe try and see if I can get this uber ad taxify side business up and running fast as I wan to retire very early :D

Wow that cat looks beautiful!

I want to cconsider getting myself a yacht in the future :)

Thank you for the awesome response buddy! :D

I got a rare chance to see this work today as I briskly walked past but just managed to get a quick glance and photo then off again to read later.

Very special little poem or piece so I would be good to share it:

@Stinky Stinky Well if you explode over little details, you might regret it, sure I am stress of finding the solution of the correct way of bouncing my phone back to colors and shape, but know what? Become like a hard worker and work at your problems, write them all down, decided on what you really want to take in sound advice from your fellow co-workers, and also your fellow mates both offline and online. :D
