I have worked in only two companies in six years, and in general the atmosphere was rarely too stressful. Occasionally, it did get very chaotic, but truthfully, I enjoyed it and was very comfortable working in such a livewire situation.

When I felt overwhelmed with work, a situation that naturally occurred periodically I would plan relaxation into my weekends. I find that exercise, walks and bike rides, as well as some good reading all served to re-charge me and allow me to handle the upcoming work days successfully.
