Just two months ago I started the highest stress, most career-making-or-breaking job I've ever had, with a boss that's getting on my nerves bigtime, and I've found my short-term memory going right out the window. I'm forgetting things left and right it seems, often, embarassingly, in the presence of my boss. I don't a typical outward tremor, but I do have a nervousness that seems along the lines of descriptions of internal tremor that I've read, and it's increased greatly since starting this job. I keep thinking that if I can just get over a hump in the learning curve of the job things will get better, but it's almost enough to make me ditch the career completely for the sake of my health.
