they said we'd hear back about whether we got the job "early next week" and it's already 4:30 on tuesday.... getting that "thing is supposed to happen very soon but you don't know when" stress now
...also @connie's stream was supposed to start half an hour ago and we haven't heard from them at all so we're worried about them too now even though it's probably nothing

@connie Is there going to be a stream today? I haven't seen anything about it and you usually post something in advance.

as noted in the aside there though, Sony's collaborative formats seem to do well for themselves pretty reliably. The CD-DA (aka audio CD), CD-ROM, and CD-R were unmitigated successes, the DVD and DVD-ROM were similarly massive successes

Historically, Sony's major solo formats seem to have alternated successful and failure--Umatic was a success, at least in the market it was intended for, then beta was a failure, then 3.5" floppy disks were a huge success, then memory stick flopped horribly, then blu-ray managed to somehow beat out hd-dvd
(Sony was involved with the creation of the CD and DVD formats but i'm not counting them because sony didn't do them alone, Philips and Panasonic did a lot of the engineering and marketing)

Thoughts on dealing with crises
And the thing you tell everyone is that it's okay for them all to have their own emotional reactions to how this will affect them—that's normal and healthy, and it's not "selfish"
But
When you need emotional support, generally speaking, you should lean on the people who are in a circle that's further from the centre of the crisis, not one that's closer
And I feel like this sort of philosophy can be applied to other kinds of crises as well
Thoughts on dealing with crises
One of the things they taught me in school was how to counsel people to provide emotional support to each other during medical crises
Imagine a series of concentric circles; the people who are most affected by the crisis are at the centre—say it's a person who just found out they have cancer
Their partner might be next "closest," their immediate family or very close friends next, but of course who is "next" in being close to this person will vary
