"Squirrelthink" is my new made-up word for today. I do it so well.
Have you ever seen a squirrel trying to cross a busy street? "Oh noes, a car! Run over here ... agghhh a human walking a big dog, let's run over there ... oh no, another car!! Can't let 'em see me sweat, that's bad, so let's just strike a pose and look all cool ... what, another car!! And ... a cat!! Run over here now ... "
Under enough stress and conflicting demands I turn into some kind of overcompensating masochist, I swear. "Stress? Let's add some more, that'll work. Kinda float on top if it, that's the thing. Oh, and look all chill. People like that. Okay that's enough stress, I'm going to bed now. Ugh now I'm being unproductive. I suck."
Squirrelthink. It's like being "Type A" but without self-confidence.
