At my old corporate job, I was involved in some of the sales activity and there were times when I got really stressed and had to remind myself "It's not like we're selling pace makers here!" - as a way to lighten the mood and the perceived seriousness of what I was involved in doing...
To me, it is life and death. I absolutely cannot afford to be laid off or fired from this job. My entire life right now is hinging on my ability to succeed and stay employed. It's the only income I have and I am moving into a new apartment (not my choice -- I have to move). So this is very serious for me.
