Ha, perhaps I'm a bad influence as well! I'm definitely like you most of the time. I'm usually the guy in my office who's like, "People, relax; nothing we're doing here is life or death!" I'm constantly telling my co-workers to just breathe and slow down a bit (read: a lot).

And I've definitely had a few (past) co-workers consider me the "lazy one" just because I'm not putting in 80hrs a week, crying in the office due to the stress, even though I still get my shit done. Don't get me wrong; I've put in my 12hr days or working overnight or during the weekend to fix something. I work in IT, so sometimes I need everyone offline to do my stuff. But those are very, very rare.

But I still try to do at least some work each day. So it was unusual for two straight days to basically do nothing! You're right though; sometimes it just happens and you have to ride it out. Definitely much more productive this week already!
