This is an hilarious perspective in this day and age. I'm surprised forum regulators haven't shut it down. Free speech seems to be invalidated when the perspective isn't popular.
Choices, choices, perspective, perspective, situation, situation. It's SO COMPLICATED.
How do you deal with stress...

Getting back on track, always be aware of the problematic irritation's in life and work. Once a job you're at is starting to bother you, find out what it is and see if there's a way to mitigate it. Lighter work assignment, a little extra time off, alternative duty.
Making money and getting the bills paid is always an important priority. But the last thing you need is a couple of irritating ticks to set off a costly reaction and cause all your plans to come crumbling down.
Which is pretty much why I don't see job-hopping or taking a paycut as a negative thing any more. If one needs a little more time to themselves, then let them take it. A small drop in pay for the sake of breathing a bit easier is better than holding a sign or working a heater oven.Last edited: May 12, 2017

There are times I wonder why I do not live in the Country of my birth anymore? Well, things have changed, changing and the future is pretty interesting if you work on the risks and problems you can see coming. I have certain health issues that will take me out and I feel that whatever the future holds it's not for me. So I can be a little bit unpopular if I want to. But not too much. The Internet of things have become pretty moderated since the snowflakes got old enough to bang on the keyboard and go to college not too many years ago. /sarcasm.
If for some reason you were a bad boy in your family growing up decades ago, a simple shunning by the family or even a church takes care of you, the problem. If you are wise, you will work around it and continue on. Today's society, if that satellite TV is to go by has gotten very... hedonistic and it really makes me cloudy inside. It's a shame. -
Are company drivers expected to "plan" for traffic? In other words, if you are late for a pick up can you legitimately blame traffic and be excused? I can see this as one of the stressful triggers for a new driver.

Yes. You should build in an extra 30 minutes for possible traffic.
