You're hurried, you're harried, you feel as if time is running out and it's taking your mind with it.
The engine in your car is making an odd whining noise. And you can't find the cat.
You're referred to as a ``mover and a shaker,'' but they're talking about your figure.
You finally found your niche in life - and it needed dusting.
You're living in the stress lane, and it's the one the traffic reporter says you're stuck in as he flies over.
You're the woman who has just realized she's eaten nothing but fudge for the last four days.

At work, you discovered Einstein was right. It is possible to spend an eternity in a meeting and not age. Of course, if you missed the meeting, you were appointed to whatever committee was formed.
Trying to finish your ``to do'' list is a waste of time - reincarnation is the only chance most people have to get all their work done.
The doctor said stress can be bad for your health. Great! One more thing to worry about.
