As a university teacher, I think I have moments in every lesson when I am really high on enjoyment - in the zone - and moments of acute temporary anxiety about whether it is going well and if the lesson plan got the timings right. Equipment failures are also a classroom menace, as are students chatting. Finally, there's the need to self-censor and the paradox that I am more likely to overstep a boundary of bad language or partisanship when I am super relaxed than when I am more cagey, but I also teach far better when I am super relaxed but in that danger zone of potential inappropriateness.
Office jobs I have done were mostly tedious and sometimes stressful to the point of wanting to walk out and drive home, which I did with one job and almost for a second. How did people cope before they could sneak a few minutes on the web, even if only to get the cricket scores?
