I don't like C# either, I'm more into VB or languages without all the {{{}}} and ;;;;;
But since there are a lot of translaters out there to convert VB into C#, we don't have to worry. In my case, I guess I just have to code in VB and once done, let an engine translate it to me into C#. Never tried Xamarin though, so no proof that will work well but it seems doable.
It also seems that Xamarin uses the MSIL code, that same code VB is turned into just like C#. If this is true, VB can easily be implemented as well in Xamarin. To be continued...
Lead, follow or get out of the way!

Agreed about the {{{}}} if the indenting is off (or forgotten), it is a pain to find the subtle problems.
I really do prefer:
sub ...
if ...
for...
...
next
end if
end sub
But I sometimes admit the C# can look a little cleaner in it's language like the for loop
C#'s switch seems messy, but VB's select feels more flexible.
Trade off's I suppose.
Dabbling in D (not .NET). really liking this lang, even if it still uses {{{}}};;

I'm not stressing, but apparently I should be... Am I not working hard enough? Is something wrong with me? AAARGHHHH!!!

Ah, that's better. Balance has been restored!

That's a really difficult one: The Empire had all the lovely toys, but couldn't shoot straight to save their own lives. But the republic had a wimpy idiot as the hero...
Should have made R2D2 the hero and killed off Luke in the second scene when thw escape pod landed on his head!

With less than 5 months to go to retirement, it's hard to be stressed, except about the fact I have to show up at all!
As long as I'm getting paid I think I can handle that!
There's no drive to start any new major project, just keep things ticking and make sure I'm prepared to do a nice clean handover. Much of my time is spent documenting the crap out of everything. boring, maybe, but stressful - not so much!

Actually one of my most stressfull periods at work was when there wasn't any (work that is)!
I wasn't afraid of losing my job and I wasn't afraid we'd go out of business, but just that feeling of not adding value and being bored was killing me. That's when I decided to go look for another job.
Of course I'm still young and at the beginning of my career, so I don't like to be standing still right now.

I can't say I enjoy being bored. Like you, I love to be engaged. But I've learned to deal with it. I'm more active on CP and I jump at the chance a new problem.
I've worked here 12 years (OMG) and I'll be leaving a huge legacy of code and solutions. This "business" is very complex and while a solid programmer will "get the code", the reasons "why" will make a weak person run for the hills. I'm trying to document the why (not user requirements) in a way that will help a programmer take over. Between fixing the odd bug, making the odd tweak, helping with some analysis and having a laugh on here, life's not too bad!
... and I'm counting the days!

I've spent the bulk of the last three days trying to test my code against a sandboxed web service I suspect if still in dev. Surprise validation errors, exception messages that tell me nothing, and having to deal with, and 'bring online' a new support person each day, have totally rewritten what I used to think stress was.

I always wanted to push to Prod an exception message that says something like "Move along, there is nothing to see here. These are not the errors you are looking for."

Hahaha, that would be great. Pretend it slipped out; fell through the cracks.
What makes this worse is that there is some info the exception message - a little four char error code thingy that seems as meaningless to their devs as it is to me.

Once, in some C code which took a param array, probably after a coffee deficiency, I set a returned error string "Unexpected number of errors."
We laughed and laughed.
