Busy day, busy life, busy in every which way
I love to be busy and work. Call me wierd, but I tend to be the happiest when I am slightly stressed out with a little to much work and my mind is focused. Of course stress helps one thing clearer (at least in its true sense... these days humans tend to manipulate the word alot to mean things that it isn't), thus thinking clearer helps one to remain focused.
Back in the days of the caveman, stress was a survival function. If for example, the caveman was jumped by a saber-tooth tiger, stress would kick in. It is fight or flight. Sudden split second thinking is needed. Thus stress shuts down non-essential drives (digestion, sex drive), increases blood flow and oxygen intake through the lungs, which in turn pumps more oxygen to the brain and helps you think better.
Physiologically, the hypothalamus gland responses to the attack by sending a signal to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland then sends down to adrenal gland to pump the blood with adrenaline. Which set off the whole heart/lung shebang which I have already mentioned.
You know, I learnt this in my Physiology class at university many eons ago. I hated the subject, but I adored my professor Dr. Toop. She was an absolute gem to have as a professor and I wish I had more interest in that subject, but at the time my interest in the biological sciences had wained completely and I was only doing it for the credit points and cutting up the toads.
I don't remember anything else from this class except this (and oddly how the Tyroid Gland operates).
Bah Humbug. Theoretical Sciences are much better. Physics rules. I just hated the fact my University dropped the entire major before I could undertake it. If I was able to do it, I properly would be more into science today then more current passion/job.
But anyway, stress biologically only is a function used for one of two answers "fight or flight" (In this case I choose to fight the workload... tee hee hee). The way it has been manipulated in todays society (oh lordy me, my boyfriend forgot my birthday, I am stressed... that darn person stole my carpark, I am stressed) is really rather said and shows one of the pits that exist in modern society. People have taken a natural survival function and turned it into some type of chronic disease. Typical bloody humans.
But apart from that, I really did enjoy digging my teeth into todays workload. The entire project is coming along nicely. Plus todays tasks properly are the most repetitive I will have to worry about, thus I have all new exciting and wonderful non-repetitive things to look forward to.
Nothing stressful about that.
