I recently embarked on a large programming project that became the most frustrating, stressful thing I’ve done since I’ve been in business.
I won’t bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
With the deadline looming at the height of the crisis, I needed to call [...]
I used to have a really challenging job. It was stressful and demanding, high pressure and large responsibilities. I was really good at it too.

I’ve been lucky enough to have worked for a company that allowed (and even required) us to telecommute from home one or two days a week.
