I'm not always quick thinking and often find myself thinking about what I *should* have said after I get off the phone with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-stressful-part-of-your-job/page/2#post-1692341 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:12:02 +0000 Happygal 1692341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't have much to complain about! My teaching job is great. For my freelance/consultant work, the biggest challenge are the constant tight deadlines and finding a good balance of working at home--sometimes it's hard to turn things off with a home office right down the hall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-stressful-part-of-your-job/page/2#post-1690601 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:08:15 +0000 Meridian 1690601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: Yes, I'm a wedding planner! Wow, I can't imagine being a wedding planner + police dispatcher... that would be SO stressful. My brides keep me on my toes as it is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-stressful-part-of-your-job#post-1690473 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 09:01:00 +0000 alohaorchid 1690473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the deadlines I have. I don't think I have ever had a flexible one and sometimes I have to turn things around ridiculously fast. It's also pretty common to have more things thrown in with the same deadline and each task is as important as the other one. Some days (most days lately) I leave here with intense pain in my shoulders just from the stress.</p> <p>I've been a contractor for the past 3 years and I have loved it but now I'm starting to feel the stress of not knowing where my next contract will be. I'm thinking it's time to look for something permanent.</p> <p>ETA: My boss right now is a total nightmare too, which doesn't help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-stressful-part-of-your-job#post-1690462 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 08:57:46 +0000 Alivoo01 1690462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have to present or discuss something with C-level execs.

She goes in spurts and will be fine one day, and a complete terror the next. She's extremely stuck in her ways and has such a strange personality.
