I've had so many shitty ass jobs, I couldn't possibly recall them all. But seriously, if this little bullshit about traffic and sales dips stresses you out that much, then you need counseling.
I have two kids who depend on me......Stress is when your first child was about to be born and you don't have a pot to piss in, live with your mama, college graduate yet have a shit $8 an hour temporary clerical job, nor any idea of how you're going to make any kind of any REAL money to take care of your responsibilities....THAT'S STRESS!! That's the kind of shit that I went through years ago before I knew anything about porn on the internet.
Now I have an ex-wife that I constantly have to send money to, my own bills to pay, private school for my oldest daughter, etc. etc....and It's all done basically on COMMISSION since I don't eat unless I sell....You dont' know shit about a stressful job...This porn shit is CAKE compared to 95% of the jobs that most people have to suffer through in real life.
I've had jobs as low as shoveling horse shit in the stables at the local racetrack because I needed a $35 a day day job. Anybody in the Cleveland area knows where "Northfield Park" is...well my black ass was in there suffocating from the shit and piss mixed with the straw that made a strong ammonia smell in the horse stables SHOVELING SHIT!...I've had jobs where my sole job was to pick up big bags of powdered resin and put pour it down a hole so the other man could bag it up...My only tool was a wooden STICK where I had to poke the powder down the hole and I was only making $3.75 an hour at the time.
I had better not see anybody else here crying over some "dip in traffic" as being stressful because they seriously need the shit slapped out of them.

well i did start doing this when i was 20, im 27 now. and no i never had very many jobs before this. probably 5 or 6. and yeah, what you describe is stress and i've had my share tho not in the same areas but i was more talking about the actual job itself, not your life due to its shitty pay. with shitty jobs you basically have to do what you're told and no real though is involved. you can shut your head off at 5pm or 8am or whatever horrible hour you get off at where as with this job its never ending, 24/7. if i don't get enough sales in a month or my method of traffic dies i might not be able to pay rent. at least with a shitty job i know i'll make X amount unless i don't show up.
i know im much better off regardless. i remember busting my ass cleaning up shitty bathrooms for minimum wage. i remember when i got burned with acid at the metal cleaning factory but stayed to finish my shift anyways because it paid a buck more than i usually got and i remember thinking i'd never afford to move out of my parents place. i also remember being so fustrated at some points in this biz i thought i'd be so broke i would have to move back in with them. i've never 'cried' over a traffic dip but sweeping the floors doesn't make me feel very stressed, losing top google ranks does.
