Life is very stressful. Every corner you round brings one more thing to wear you out, seems like. If it’s not that your computer won’t be shipped because you can’t understand the foreigner leaving a completely unintelligible message for you to call back with some code, or the scrapbook you ordered on ebay that was of course, in mint brand new condition, smells like it was “minted” in a cigarette factory…..or the person who refuses to verify that flowers have been delivered because your name is not on the account (even though your address, email and phone number are all your’s)……or the people who got a FREE OFFER online are upset because you haven’t shipped it out in a day……or that Juno insistantly refers to everything as if you already have the internet, which is the whole reason you’re trying to USE it in the first place, to GET internet……or the fact that you constantly feel like falling over in your chair dead asleep even though you got over 12 hours last night…….
Any men reading this: do not underestimate the power of carrying a baby. When a woman’s body is carrying a baby, it is as if she is working two extra hours per day. I work 9-10 hours a day, but it’s really as if I was working 11-12.
