Stress reactions
Since Howard quit Novell our lives have been much less stressed. One disadvantage of this is that when I do get stressed, all of my coping mechanisms involve spending money to make the stress go away. Today I was shaky/stressed and I really wanted to not have to think about food preparation. Unfortunately buying pizza or fast food are not solutions I can afford to apply to that type of problem right now. Instead I spent money on boil-it-yourself tortelloni at the grocery store. Not expensive, but not on our usual menu either.
Fortunately this evening I was able to take some time to figure out a spreadsheet program and the label making program. Now the thought of creating labels no longer makes me want to hide in bed with a book. This is good.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous entry with helpful information about bulk mailing and label making. Many of your tips got put to good use during tonight’s hike up the learning curve.
