Stress Management (Chapter 10)

Okay, i have this class - Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management. OB is short. And part of OB in week 1 was to read 4 chapters - a total of some 150 pages (give or take 10 pages). Words are not that big, and not THAT many pictures. To make things worse, its such a boring book. The author seems very knowledgable but he seems to speak with that "boring-one-toned-lecturer-who-could-use-some-sugar-to-talk-a-little-more-vibrant" voice.
This brings me back to the title of this post - stress management. This book has done a lot of damage to my stress levels, and one page, you can use points to value an activity (stressor) and accumalate points to see the level at which will affect your health. The death of a spouse is valued at 100 points (the highest in print), and a vacation is 13 points (this causes loss of time etc, so you are stressed to catch up etc.). I value this book at 80 points...if i reach a 150 within this year, i have a 50% chance of coronary heart diseases.

Than comes the second point - handling stress. You can tackle stress by overcoming the problem, avoiding it, escaping and reducing. I decide to reduce this 80 points by VENTING it on this blog and escaping by going out for drinks tonight. Anyone interested in helping me reduce this 80 points further? i call this Scala-therapy
