What do you do to stay calm and proactive when you're stressed as fuck at work?

rub one out while swearing

@PonySlaystation thanks for your wise suggestion

Use @NoMad's robotic arm as a helping hand

@PonySlaystation wait... Were you following your own advice when you posted this? https://devrant.com/rants/9072807/...

@electrineer looool

It helps to adjust just how much you care, in the end of the day the most important thing to take care of is yourself. If you’re in this in the long haul and don’t want to be too stressed it’s key to find that balance where you can still deliver, without caring too much, and also push back sometimes on deadlines.

Writing random job applications.

I don't.

@horus that's what I'm thinking of doing for the next year, even if the urge to send everyone to hell is quite tempting

@fambelic That's the neat part. You don't.

I'm sadly happy to see that I'm not the only one frustrated here.

@fambelic The platform is literally called dev"Rant".

@electrineer possibly

@PonySlaystation definitely

As long as they trust that I'm working to fix it asap and I can tell myself that it's going to take as long as it needs to, it's fine.

If I can't work because I am being continuously told how important it is to fix this thing until it is fixed, I switch jobs and it's also fine.
