work stress 

no communication from boss except for a silent change to a deadline, meeting in 90 min

why do i feel like i'm being cornered

work stress 

oh right, because talking over a voice call is considerably more stressful for me than over email, and i'm more likely to say yes to everything

work stress 

the only way i can combat this is by being prepared for everything i can expect him to say. why does contract work have to be mind games like this.

work stress 

the trick is to do these preparations without becoming so nervous before the voice call that the preparation is useless
