What is the meaning of stressed out? I really prefer to call it streched out, to be honest. Stressed is a word everyone uses too much, but I think few really understand (me included). Now stretched out, that I understand. Stretched thin, to the brink, past the comfort zone...time is of the essance and you haven't enough to be calm and successful at the same time--that i understand. so what does this mean exactly? well here's my example: I have alot to do at the moment, but honestly--it's doable. 5 interviews in one week? doable. create a resume out of thin air? doable. salvage a 100 dollar rebate that went arwry? doable. two tests next week? doable. two lab projects looming on the fast approaching horizon? doable. squeeze in a softball game and time to buy shorts for it? doable. buy a birthday present for my mom? doable.

but is it comfortable? heavens, NO.

and i'm so HUNGRY!
