Actually, my stress level is probably closer to 1.....
I have just graciously been granted an extra 5 years to study for my upgrade.
If I ever go for tea and biscuits, what can they do to me? Take my upgrade away, not give me bonus, or take away my annual increase.....already been done, so nothing to lose!
In fact the worst thing they can do is fire me and I think they would be doing me a favour
