Welcome to the American labor market...if you think this has a happy ending, than you haven't been paying attention.

What's the difference between an American and a Russian? When the American dreads coming to work, he will fake a headache to stay home; when the Russian dreads coming to work, he will really have a headache. Sounds like you have the perfect excuse to stay home when you're too stressed.

while stress does cause issues and weaken the immune system making it easier to get sick, I don't hink it makes you sick. high blood pressure, risk of aneurysm and heart disease it does as well. my step father had a brain aneurysm a number of years ago do to massive stresses of work and pre existing family traits
