I hate work so much. One of my jobs is accounts payable. Except I don't actually write checks. I just get invoices approved and sent off to the person who does. But then I'm still required to give vendors updates on their checks, that I don't write. And the person who writes them doesn't give me updates.

It is so damn stressful and makes me feel like I'm constantly behind.

@BigFatFae One of the most helpful things my therapist ever said on the subject of stress at work:

"The psychological definition of stress is the failure to objectify responsibility."

Basically, any time we're feeling stressed, it's usually because we're trying to take responsibility for things we can't control. By acknowledging that we can't control those things, we realize that pressure on us doesn't change anything.

At that point, it's just about finding an escalation route.
