Very related to the above, via wallwalker: 5 Popular Self-Help Tips That Actually Hurt Your Career. I can totally see how most of these happen, but the real kicker is the part about stress being caused by intelligence. Apart from the jobhunt, I had another bad case of this recently. I don't stress over my jobs - just get grumpy at times - but I had a real wigout when I was doing cash-in-hand work for my upstairs neighbour. I'd been busy and let it sit for a week after she'd paid me, and I had a brief HOW DOES I SELF-EMPLOYMENT meltdown before going upstairs to visit her with the job done, but she was super-nice to me and now keeps giving me food and stuff. ;_; (The niceness is also because we shovelled snow with them and the people on the middle floor didn't, so I think she started liking us partly out of civic spite.)

Then a week afterwards nakki came by and this happened, which was equal parts cute and disturbing!
