Stressful Situations

I'm outraged, I'm furious, I've lost it...yes, you may hear splintered wood settling in the background, I have destroyed my office. A light breeze coming through, window's smashed etc. You get the jist...

Work for the past few months has been nothing but stress, there have been victories here and there, but on the whole, things are just pushing me over the limit.....I am starring in my very own Steven Seagal movie, I call it "Boiling Point" and then the sequel "Beyond Boiling Point!" - which just happened today!

After getting an email at 11pm "We need to move forward, our company can't afford to stay as it is right now. Show me what you have to offer this company, I don't care what and how you are going to do it, but give me results please!" - I feel as though something called pressure is pushing so far up my ass that when it spits, its coming out of my mouth...

It doesn't help when all that responsibility is on my shoulders...and I am not getting paid enough to go through that kind of shit...

I am not having fun, I have been given unachievable challenges that are making me feel I am inadequate in the field of achieving - although nothing is unachievable, closing 4 blocks of advertising in 2 days is quite unachievable and I just feel I'm not pushing myself hard enough either or taking my job seriously....

Is this the right mentality?

But maybe it IS time to strike out and really show what I'm made of....

Maybe I should stop whinging and get cracking,,.

The stress that work brings is the only thing I like about unemployment, cuz there is no stress as such, unless you include being turned away because you have no experience and no one wants to give you any and you REALLY want a job.

Originating from the sandy shores of Sydney, Australia, Aiden is not your regular beach-bum, he is also an advertiser, all round freelance writer, radio presenter and karaoke singer.

I've been in the Advertising industry for 8 years and counting. I took my first step into the field at the ripe, impressionable age of 18. I was recruited as a copywriter, writing slogans for numerous companies including Qantas and Nestle, and jingles for some not so proud products such as "Polly Pocket", "My Little Pony" and "Buzz Ball - the freshest handball game in the playground!" (Is "freshest" even a word!?)

After months of brain-numbing childrens products and getting reprimanded for not being 'hip enough for the below 4 market'; I started work in radio - not exactly my thing, but I did learn how to do voice-acting and after hours of listening to radio pop songs, I have taken my karaoke skills to phenomenal levels - "Karaoke - Even your ugliest child can be a superstar!"

Anyway, a few script editting gigs later, I now write commercials for television, specialising in T&A and Athletics/Health products (inherent contradiction!).

Sounds a bit too much like a CV - maybe I should mention my good looks and irresistible charm (narcissistic? never). I like to travel, I constantly seek new things to do, in love with the beach, always game for adventure, have a knack for automatic weapons, martial arts is excellent, Bruce Lee is my hero, and Starbucks - what can I do without you!
