Stress on
Monday, 24 March, 2008
I consulted the Stress-O-Meter today to see whether I'm just deluded or whether there is a valid reason for the way I feel. If you set the time frame as the past 12 months (which is the way I think you're supposed to do the test [at least that's the way I did it when it was first introduced to me]), I score 278. The webpage says,
Psychologists regard 300 points as being the breaking point for the average person. Eighty per cent of people with scores of over 300 and 53 per cent with scores between 150 and 300 are likely to suffer some form of stress-related illness.
Guess I'm not deluded then ...

I just wanted to be (one of?) the first to comment on the new site. It looks great! And also, sorry that you’re so stressed. :/
Oh. I wanted to be the first. Kablooey. I hope Calvin and Hobbes bring a smile to your face!
looking good; way to capture the old feel, but add functionality!
Thanks Dave!
‘Tis what I want the blog to be. Might redesign later ...
I got 170 for the last 4 months…
I will have a proper look at the site tonight but it all seems perfect except for some kind of ugly scrollbars in the right column for ‘current’ and ‘comment’. Not sure of a solution for that considering the content though.
Is it bad (or surprising) that I got about 293 for the last year?
Aaarggh! Bec, you ought to be in worse shape than me!!!
Hellloooooo
just testing this out and saying a big yay for the commenting!
I’m not going to do this stress test quite yet, cos I’m feeling stressed..maybe when I’m not hehe. having said that, your lives are probably way more stressful than mine. hehe.
Gmail thought an appropriate ad to accompany your email about the blog was this: “Quality Bidets Australia - http://www.lusan.com.au - End frustration & enjoy comfort! Discover our range of bidets today.”
I think it is because you said it was “sitting over” here, but I’m not sure.
I got 44.
It is missing a lot of small factors though, such as “close friends deciding to break off contact” and “sharehousing” and “being a lawyer”
