Join the club. Just kidding. But not really. The plain truth is that when times are tough, it's not uncommon to find yourself stressed out. And while it could be attributed to a number of causes, here are a few practical tips to help minimize stress on the job, from the job:
§ Pace yourself. Take some time to identify available resources to set realistic goals and deadlines. Be honest with yourself and remember…it's always better to underpromise and overachieve than it is to overpromise and underachieve.
§ Take breaks. Go for a walk around the block to get a breather from that stack of paperwork or long list of e-mails awaiting your attention. If you happen to work in the middle of a big city or other noisy place…headphones help.
§ Don't worry about how you will fit a big project into your workday. Instead plan on how you will get it done. One way to do this: work on it when you feel most energetic (coffee induced or not…that's up to you) and can be most productive.
§ Put people and situations into perspective. When you look at each situation as a matter of life and death you will spend more time stressing than producing…and that's just not healthy.
§ Take time to play. When you are not working, you shouldn't be working. It's fine to take work home if it needs to get done but don't lose sight of the fact that downtime is important and restorative.
So fear not! These stress-fightin' quick-tips will minimize your stress levels at work and help you become more productive.

''Take breaks'', ''put things into perspective'' and ''take time to play'' all have my votes, stressed or not.
In corporate job I used to go for walks with colleagues.
Now I work for myself and often like to write and stay alone so I can concentrate. I listen to loud happy music when I feel like I can't take it anymore and just start walking around the office/room or recently - twirling hoola hoop. Feel free to laugh, but it works.
Some clients reported they like to do headstand in their office?! They are on the other side of 40 though. Whatever works and is not life threatening is good.

Ice Cube Announces Album Release Date
Ice Cube is bringing back some West Coast flavor in 2014. The hip-hop icon has announced a release date for his 10th album Everythang's Corrupt.
The follow-up to 2010′s I Am the West will arrive on May 13, he revealed on Twitter.
"EVERYTHANGS CORRUPT street date: May 13, 2014," tweeted Cube.
On Halloween, he dropped a new song called "Sasquatch" and released a video for the Tom Morello-assisted title track in November 2012.
"It's not a heavily political record, but it does have statement songs and rhymes," Cube told The Huffington Post of the album. "I got a song called 'Dominate the Weak,' which is just showing you how a police state would look and feel. But hip-hop is in a different space right now when it comes to that. You don't want to overdo it when it comes to the political stuff."
In addition to music, he stars alongside Kevin Hart in the comedy Ride Along, hitting theaters on January 17.

NCIS Review: Farewell to Zivaby Douglas Wolfe at . Comments
Well, there you have it:
The Tony and Ziva moment so many have hoped for (or dreaded) has finally happened. They had their romance, albeit in a bittersweet way. The way they ended it seemed believable and sad, given the fact that this was Cote de Pablo's final episode with NCIS, at least for now. Fortunately, in "Past, Present, and Future," she was left alive in Israel, while Tony hopped a plane back to the U.S.
Like last week, the show was packed with detail - although this time, it seemed to flow a little more fluidly. Plus, we got to meet an interesting and ruthless new Secretary of the Navy named Sarah Porter. Her impatience and demand for action left little to the imagination: she didn't want Parsa found and tried in court. She wanted him dead. You have to love an unequivocal order like that:
SecNav Porter: Gentlemen, as you may know I'm not military. My background's business. And the first order of business the President has appointed me to address is preventing further attacks. The second is to bring swift justice to those committing them, by any means necessary. | permalink
Seems a little ironic and sad that we learned so much about Ziva at a time when we have to say goodbye to her. Once again, the writers have outdone themselves by painting a believable picture: Ziva is emotionally overwhelmed by the deaths of those she loves. In particular, as if killing her brother wasn't bad enough, she's learned that she shot him just before he was going to propose to her Israeli next door neighbor and childhood best friend Doctor Deena Bashan. Guilt city.
I don't think the writers could have made it any clearer that Tony had it bad for Ziva: dreaming about her, then day-dreaming about her and finally figuring out that she wasn't moving forward in her life, but back to her past (hence the name of the episode). You have to wonder if, when Gibbs finally got hold of him after he'd been traveling for a few months, Tony actually thought he fooled him when he lied about not finding Ziva. Somehow I doubt it.
Gibbs has always been hyper-aware, so when he told Tony to "do what you have to do," it's possible that he knew Tony had already found her. Even though in the previous breath he told him to respect the fact that she didn't want to be found. I think that maybe Gibbs was affording them both some privacy.
Another treat in this episode was learning more about FBI Agent Tobias Fornell. Up until now he's been presented as a kind of staid and dusty character who has been outwardly grumpy toward Gibbs. Watching him pile up on the pancakes and "extra extra bacon" kind of made you shudder in arterial empathy: hopefully he doesn't have such meals too often.
And then to get shot in the butt and see him being wheeled into the ambulance ass-up? Well, that just added insult to the embarrassment of his ignorance about Mendez. I like that he and Gibbs are friends, but there's something missing from that picture. Maybe their ex-wife Diane needs to make another appearance. She always seems to get both men riled up and antsy.
Did anyone really think Gibbs was going to shoot Fornell? As we suspected, he had him in his rifle sights but only for a moment. Lots of tension in the moments before Gibbs took the shot: Tobias wanders about, sees that there are no bodyguards on the roof, radios in to get it investigated, the car door opens and Mendez's phone rings, he says he has to answer it, his finger hovers over the "answer" button, Gibbs lines him up and, just before Mendez's finger hits the button, Gibbs shoots. I knew he would get him in time; I think we all did. Still, though, what a way to drag it out.
I think I lost track of the body count in this story arc over the two-part episode. Two bodyguards at the house where Gibbs killed Mendez, three assassins at Ziva's not-so-safe safe house, SecNav Clayton Jarvis (plus likely a whole bunch of others killed by the bomb at the concert hall), the man Mendez was visiting at the hospital (plus a whole bunch of others killed in that bomb blast), the assassins who tried to take out Gibbs in Iran.... I'm probably missing some. Anyway, there was lots of action over these two shows, which more than counterbalances the touching romance between Tony and Ziva.
Final thoughts:
- There was a lot to cover in this episode so it's no surprise that we didn't get to see McGee's new squeeze Delilah.
- Parsa and his gang of merry men are still out there. The NCIS team have their work cut out for them this season.
- Deputy Director Jerome Craig stepped out of the NCIS office once Director Vance came back. We don't know if he'll make another appearance this season, but I hope he does. He's a curious character.
- There was lots of great dialogue in this show as you'll see in this episode's NCIS quotes. There were so many lines it was impossible to capture them all, though - the writing for this episode was that good.
- That was an amazing bitter-sweet ending: with Tony creating his own Ziva-inspired list of "I wills" list while on the lonely flight back to the U.S., while Gibbs takes a phone call from Ziva.
Now it's your turn. What did you think? Were you happy with the way the romance between Ziva and Tony played out? Did the ending and Ziva's exit make sense to you?

the show needs her it is going down hill fast pay her the same as the men
I think both of the so-called farewell to Ziva episodes were sorely lacking. Yes, GG had a short time to rewrite them, but that was his fault-he should have had a backup script written when Cote hadn't resigned by the time the season finale aired. And I am really tired of the negative things being posted about Cote, especially those blaming her for these poorly written episodes and trying to make it look like her departure was about money or ego. She said it was personal and shouldn't have to disclose the exact nature of the personal issue. I can bet that if one of her male coworkers left the way she did, there wouldn't be as much of a negative backlash (mostly by the same posters over and over again that obviously didn't like Cote in the first place). These episodes were promoted as a farewell to Ziva, but Cote was barely on screen. It couldn't have been about money, since in Season 9 there were many episodes that had Jamie Lee Curtis (too many IMO) featured far more prominently and she had to be more expensive to pay than Cote! I felt these episodes could have been done much better (and should have show a goodbye with all the other characters, not just Tony), especially since her reason for staying in Israel made no sense-Ziva had already dealt with her past as a killer and changed way back in Season 7. To me, these episodes were a slap in the face to Cote, and most likely will not watch anymore until TPTB realize their mistake and get her back!
I want Ziva back on NCIS and maybe get together with Tony and have this the romance they deserve. may be get married and have fumily
What I got out of it is Ziva made a big rethink when the doctor whined about no one mourning murders. Ziva, honey, your dear sweet brother was a vicious murder who enjoyed it. Why don't you and doc join the Manson girls.
The lack of logic in the whole thing was Jump the Shark Territory. And how come the man who was prosecuting Gibbs show up in a truck to rescue him. But what bugged me the most is she could slobber all over Tony but not take two seconds to say good bye to any of the people three episodes ago she called "my family." If I was the new SecNav I would make mean old prosecutor go through every thing 2 or 3 more times to see if she wasn't a plant.
I was left pretty much unsatisfied. As talented as the NCIS writers are, there is simply a limit to what you can do in two episodes. I just hope that is the only time they are ever challenged again with such time constraints. It's the best show ever but this had to be one of its lowest points. Now, back to the business of leaving everyone else in their dust!
This remind me of that 70 show when Topher Grace got so sick of the show he stop showing up and would only do part with certain people sound like Cote did the same
ziva debe tener su propia serie,se lo merece.si jala gente.
no tiene reemplazo en ncis,la serie llego a su tope y han aparecido buenas series ya basta de ncis.
y que no sean ridiculos de querer ponerle otro amor a tony,ya ese molde se rompio.
capitulo final solo vi cansancio y agotamiento.
I'm glad that Tony and Ziva got it together (Brief Encounter anyone?) in a bittersweet way. However all the reasons given do not add up. There were apparently time constraints involved and may have added to the pressure of getting an episode together in time.
My main problem is Ziva's shooting of her brother. As a Mossad agent she was duty bound to protect her country from a rogue agent which Israelis do and have done since their birth. Remember he was responsible for Kate's execution for what appeared to be no particular good reason. Of course she would grieve deeply but what choice did she have and she did seem to come to terms with it.
As for her so called doctor friend,surely they would have had their showdown years before, as someone has said, at Ari's funeral. I have got the sneaking suspicion that it was orignally going to be just a single episode but got extended to embrace the outgoing Pablo hence the apparent disjointed storyline.
However despite all the quibbles under the circumstances not the worst I've seen
This was better than last week that didn't take much. Granted it was lady minute. It the tiva wrapped up was weak and was over hyped. The writing still seems to lack focus and creativity? I've felt the show was winding down to for the last few seasons. There is nowhere else for the story lines to go witness by the stale choppy scripts. Love the show love the cast but I think it he series is winding down which after 11 years isn't surprising .
I don't think the viewership will decrease at all. NCIS has proven over nad over why it's one of the top rated shows on TV........Great but sad start to the season...... The door was left open for Ziva to return and I do believe at some point.....and it may not be this season......that she will return........ I was laughing at Fornell being shot in the butt.........Gibbs looked as if he was about to cry when Ziva called him........

Evergreen Park SD 124 teachers reject board's 'final' contract offer
BY STEVE METSCH email@example.com September 25, 2012 5:48PM
Updated: October 27, 2012 6:21AM
One day after setting a strike date for next week, teachers in Evergreen Park School District 124 took a formal vote Tuesday and overwhelmingly rejected what the school board is calling its final contract offer.
After a Monday night negotiating session ended with no progress, the Evergreen Park Federation of Teachers met Tuesday to consider the board's offer, with members voting 147 to 1 to reject it, union officials said.
"It was no surprise to any of us," said Dave Comerford, a spokesman for the union. "But the board wanted that clarification. Now they have no doubt the membership will not accept their final offer."
It's a final offer that union negotiator Tony Demma said is "not what we're looking for."
Earlier Tuesday, the union put out a statement giving their side of Monday's negotiating session.
In the statement, the union said "the board seems to want to play games, and focus on negotiation tactics."
The board made a new demand to tie teacher bonuses to student test scores "that had never been discussed before," the statement said.
And the union claimed a $16 million district financial surplus "had been earmarked for mysterious, unnamed projects."
Supt. Robert Machak declined to discuss Tuesday's vote. But he said projects the union referred to are anything but mysterious.
"The capital projects are in the long range planning that was in place before me," he said. "At Central Junior High, we have 85-year-old pipes that need replacing."
He said an architectural firm hired by the board had recommended upgrading all the science labs in the district and adding classrooms to replace mobile units, among other projects.
"If we did everything they recommend, it will cost $55 million," Machak said.
District officials and union representatives plan to return to the bargaining table at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Machak said.
The earliest that teachers could've walked out is Friday, but on Monday they set next Tuesday as their strike date.
The school board has offered a four-year contract while the union seeks a three-year deal.
The board is offering pay raises based on the Consumer Price Index, while he teachers want raises of at least 3 percent each year. They oppose the plan to award bonuses based on test scores.

True Pharma Innovation Lies in Quality — not Quantity — of Approvals, say FDA analysts
By Jill Wechsler | Published: August 6, 2013
We're already embroiled in the annual speculation game about whether FDA approvals this year will keep pace with last year's near-record of 39 new molecular entities (NMEs) brought to market. The tally is closely watched as a sign of the state of biopharmaceutical innovation and the health of the pharmaceutical industry and biomedical research enterprise.

Imagine Twitter at $140 Per Share
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I would love to be the first person to slap Twitter (TWTR) with $140 price target. That number seems fitting, doesn't it? But sadly, that's not likely to happen any time soon. Not from me or from any of the 30 brokers who cover the social media giant.
Twitter shares closed Tuesday at $31.85, falling close to 18%. The stock, which traded as high as $74 in December, went public at $26 last November. But since Twitter peaked, shares have plummeted close to 60%, and are down 50% year to date. Tuesday's punishment was out of the ordinary. But that doesn't mean investors should rush in to buy.
The catalyst for Tuesday's decline was Twitter unlocking its shares that were prohibited from being sold until six months after Twitter's initial public offering. According to The Wall Street Journal, there were potential 400 million shares that could be sold.
I don't want to get too technical with IPO rules and lock-up expiration, but as part of early standard start-up procedures, companies will typically issue millions of shares to (among others) employees, venture capitalists and mezzanine investors. As a way to prevent shares from flooding the market since these early shareholders will want to cash out, a ban on selling, or lock-up period was created.In this case, Twitter had only averaged a little over 13 million shares traded per day. Tuesday more than 90 million shares exchanged hands, more than 7 times its normal volume. Clearly, the early buyers couldn't wait to cash out. The pressing question now is to what extent can Twitter rebound from a day like this. And how much of an opportunity is there for new investors.
