Learning to live with it

I continue to be quite stressed out about the situation at work; in fact I have taken a number of days off to deal with the stress. However, much of that time has been spent trying to be able to get an extended time of stress leave, only to find out that is not possible in a financially feasible way.
Where I'm at now: I'm going back to work tomorrow. My supervisor has spoken of "conditions" to which I'll just agree, and I'll try to let go of it all and just focus on the basics.
Ironically: the very thing that is getting me disciplined at work - my passion for justice and an ability to argue a point from the perspective of principles and laws - is opening up doors for me in another area and has impressed a fairly important person. Two sides of the coin; a strength is one place is a weakness in another.
