I'm positively shaky.
I'm not sure I'm as polite as I should be at work at times like these. :(

are you shakey because of your blood sugar level or something else?

Stress.
I had to work at the office today, coupled with high levels of urgency and high degree of difficulty. Unfortunately all those worked against actually being efficient and productive. I just ended up really shaky, and even dissociating a bit.
If I have something that needs to be done quickly and well, I'm better off doing it away from the stimulation of the office. :(

Hang in there...it will get better! I'm sending "fun happy work" vibes your way. (Doesn't "funny happy work" sound like something that might be written on English on a T-shirt in Japan? You know how they often like really weird English phrases?)
Maybe you should make a Tshirt for yourself that says "loving work happy lady" and wear it all day. See what kind of comments you get.
take it easy!
good luck with everything!

In addition to usually being pretty good at what I do.
I heard a story once that when NASA was trying to get to the moon, they hired a whole floor of people whose job it was to say all the reasons it was impossible to make it to the moon. Then the engineers would overcome the objections.
I think that's my expertise. Being alert to the possibilities of disaster. So that we can figure out ways to avert them.
Who says being a pessimist can't pay?

But since I'm sure that many places of business would benefit from having an imaginative pessimist around, the quality could probably be adapted to fit other occupations. :)
