Occasionally, the wife will overhear me talking with another GI about past experiences. Later she will say, “You never told me you were there…that happened…whatever.”
We found out you are stressed at work....so you won't be stressed you're fired.

Isn't it funny how so much stuff gets squashed down until someone else opens that door in conversation?
A buddy of mine is a retired USAF MG.
We talk a lot on our drives down to Immokalee. The conversations bring up a lot of memories.

Loser response.
Go back and watch the original video. It ain't about life stress. It's about being stressed at work.
If work stresses you out that bad, you're making poor decisions and your work output is so low you're not worth paying.
You've driven so far off in the weeds, your catalytic converter is on fire.
Too much feminism bullshit indoctrination.
Do you know why women should be at home making sammiches? Cuz their brain automatically goes to... I wonder what kind of sammich Suzy is making? Is Suzy wearing house shoes or pumps? Do they match the purse she had at brunch the other day? The weather that day was kinda overcast and the purse wasn't appropriate. That weather girls forecast was totally off. I hope she says that we'll have snow for Christmas. I gotta pick up some wrapping paper with snow flakes on it just in case. I hope they still have some left over for the day after Christmas sale.
If you are stressed because of the task you are being paid for then you are hurting the company. If you can't leave your problems in the parking lot you are hurting the company.

I don’t want my kids to feel like I have grinding my way through life, but I’m not sure they will be capable without the 2-3 decades of character building work without big success. I’m really happy my boys are both doing combative martial arts, and getting regularly beat on by more advanced students.
The hardest part of my job is the stress. I do not bring that stress home. In fact, most people could not withstand it and would run out of the office in 10 minutes, never to return. It's my superpower. And kind of a science experiment. How bad can it actually get?
I have had good luck and bad luck.
This economy sucks ass. House insurance went up by almost a grand. Property taxes went up about 300. Health insurance is plain damn crazy. And in our industry, thanks to lack of faith in the Potato, work has slowed down considerably. And we have not had pay increases in over a year.
So, when the smartass inevitably opens his foul-smelling orifice and says, "get a better job" all I can do is laugh it off. This is already a good job, considering my experience and skill set.
I absolutely do NOT relay to the bosses (I have two, the co-owners of the company) the stress I feel or grievances I may have. They could find someone to replace me. It's a job and though there is a gargantuan load of stress, not having a job and losing the roof over your head is also stressful.

You know.. looking back at it, I have to agree with you. It didn't come across as lighthearted of a poke as I intended and I apologize for that. I've since edited the post to be less of a jackass.
Being pleasant under stress, and staying organized is why I have my job, instead of one of my colleagues getting it.
No need to apologize.
You weren't being a jackass, you were stating your opinion based on what you remembered from the OP.
Also we need to start clarifying between "Good Stress" and "Bad Stress"
I get work stress all the time because I'm trying to do wild shit, meet deadlines. When I pull of a miracle. Its damn rewarding. That reward doesn't come without the stress.
Bad Stress is the ahole who ties up my servers, doesn't listen, lectures me on how to do my job (I'm the boss), complains constantly and is a literal workplace poison, who I cannot fire. That dude needs to get hit with the fist of an angry god.
Speaking of which--slight tangent: When I was younger I hated the Jack Welch "Yank and Rank" from management. But I heard him talk about it and as a (middle aged) older guy, it makes much more sense. What is my performance feedback right now? I don't need to wait for my review. All this BS and corporate speak. I told my above guy "You aren't performing to my expectations" and he lost his ever loving mind (he's older) as if no one has ever told him he's done a bad job. I'm the most brilliant MF'r around here (just ask me!) and I know when I'm doing a bad job and I've done bad work in the past. It happens. Fix it or GTFO. Sadly our employment polcies require an act of God to remove someone. Current status: Ascending to godhood. This guy needs canning.
