I wasn't stressed.
I had a nice little change to the default value of a radio button in a Winforms application.
I started it from Visual Studio, checked it all worked, exited the app.
Made my change to the initialization of a window that gets launched from the 'menu' window that starts up when you run the app.
Now the app will not run from Visual Studio.
It is getting nowhere near the code I changed.
Now I'm stressed.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Sounds like a code rollback to me!

I presume that's because you work with Simon Travaglia?
Gasp! Are you the PFY?

Not really, there's little communication between the second and the seventh level.

Nope, Fukushima is not on the scrum-board.
If it needs be then we'd have to move with some other items though, as my time is limited by biological needs and reality

I made a list 4 years ago with the signs of stress on me, and put it on my board just in front of me. If I realize one of them I go out to the garden (park?) and walk around 2-4 times...That way stress never pile up...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

With web sites like the NHS one I can easily become stressed, who was the bright spark who thought grey text was a good idea. I looked at it and tried to work out why the entire page was disabled, F*** I wasn't stressed!

"stress awareness"
What bollox. Everybody knows what Stress is, as if anyones going to go "Stress? What's that then?"
And if they didn't already know what stress is, then they don't have enough brain capacity to be stressed in the first place.

Knowing "what stress is" and that you yourself are badly stressed are two different things: I worked for twenty odd years under a heck of a lot of stress (mostly self imposed) without realising until I was forced out of the situation (and work) by an accident.
It was only a few years later that I realized what I had been doing, and putting up with, and how likely it was to have killed me if I hadn't had the accident.
It's far too easy to get into a stressful pattern and assume it's perfectly normal...

By the sounds of it you don't know if your stressed until you leave?
I'm just going to ask my Boss for 6 months off to see if I'm stressed or not.

Working for a small IT firm I was not making much progress on a project using VB.NET so my boss who was once a programmer (VB6) decided to do some pair programming with me. We googled some code that had a try..catch block, the dude had no idea that the "Try" part was part of the code. He thought the author was saying i should try the code below. I stopped straight away and told him to go back to his office. Guess I should have asked what he thought the catch part was for. My advice to all owners of all small software development firms ; have some idea of what technologies and programming languages your employees are using to make all those products that bring in all that money for you.Dont emabarass yourself!

"Well, you can try this code, but the catch is that it swallows Exceptions."

I doubt his guess was going to be that intelligent. Remember to him Try...Catch...End Try were not part of the code.May be to him :
Try : Try the code below
Catch : ???
End Try : Give up
Can anyone suggest what he thought catch was for?

I have had to do that on a project where the test rig was dodgy. Try { blah, blah, balh!}
catch { Messagebox.Show(" Error State") ugly ugly code that gave a reasonable result!
the Try Catch everything is a way to get yourself out the firing line and some body else into it! so been there, done that, got the T-Shirt!

Boss: What's Exceptions? Answer: messages about errors. Boss: Well, just don't write errors in code and you don't need Exceptions, problem solved.

You're being a bit harsh, at least he was trying 
It's an OO world.

{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

Rosser: throw

The first rule of VB6 programmer is to start every function from ON ERROR RESUME NEXT. Program is always working, no bugs! Explain to your boss that try...catch does the same in VB .NET.
