I have a chance at a promotion at work and dangit I log in to the site that HR sends me. fricking you got 26 mins to answer 15 questions. I got rattled at 5 min mark and was on number 11. FML. Didn't finish the 15 questions. Why do they do this?

what happens now is that you accept help.

learn to breathe deeply and fully, when you are working under pressure.

working under pressure was something that was being tested.
You'll do better next time if you accept that its a test and stop trying to make life fair. Life is rarely fair.
You go ahead and do better next time. And relax.
Breathe deeply and fully and as you let it out, let go of all concerns.
