After SepPEK trip, (BJ15d even worse) was a high-stress period, even though a vacation. The preceding months also have many stressors. This bpost is a profiling+review. See also ##G3frustrations travell`2Chn

1. boy screen time and study attitude .. a dissatisfaction blackhole
2. epaJob: OKR project .. Genepai
3. aging parents
4. epaJob: compliance breaches [R.Teo, pre-clearance,] was a serious threat to my job security
5. [$] night heat and mosquito over 2023
6. epaJob: frequent BlueCoat strikes
7. [$] Edyw was the biggest storm/burst@bubble in recent months since start of school term .. luckily, the wonder pill…
8. meimei math difficulties as shown in the exams
9. Bj15d: [$] smemo + git blogg .. inadequate note-taking facilities. I had to use phone 🙁
10. [$=money can help]

If we don’t leave our comfort zone i.e. Sgp, we hit fewer bursts/storms/derailers.

Warning: Am growing more attached and dependent on my comfortable epaJob, so any derailers on the job tend to feel more painful than before.

I have put aside my recreational reading.
