I have spent the last 24 hours so stressed that I can feel it in my scalp, which is a very weird way to be aware of one’s own body. I worry sometimes that part of why I like working in the startup end of tech is that it gives me an excuse to care too much about my job as a place to route my ambient anxiety, which would be weird in other contexts and is unhealthy in this one. Tech shouldn’t be an identity job (identity jobs like teaching and nursing arguably shouldn’t be identity jobs) but it is, at least for me and I think for a lot of people, and it is probably not good for me.
