Stress.

A joyful word, eh?

The stress of passive candidate networking. The stress of making positive contact with a future client. The stress of balancing being SuperRecruiter, SuperSpouse and SuperParent … all without having to lose your temper, always stay cheerful, and ensure your teeth don’t get reduced to a fine state of ground powder.

What to do?

Well! First off, if you’re a web worker, I came across this super article over at Web Worker Daily. Consider the following:

Does this sound familiar? You’re at a gathering and someone mentions that they’ll contact you at your office. You explain that you work from home, and they say something like, “You’re so lucky you can work from home. Must be so relaxing to be able to work in your pajamas and set your own hours!” True, but if only they knew that on some days, relaxing isn’t a word in your vocabulary. Stressed, tired, cranky, overwhelmed and irritable are more appropriate.

Most of us wouldn’t give up our web-working lifestyles for anything. But make no mistake, stress-free it is not. Not unless you’re a web worker who works 20 hours a week with tons of money in the bank and a maid and/or nanny on staff. For the rest of us, we typically work longer hours and while our stress is different than those who are cubicle-bound, it is no less dangerous if left unchecked.
