Does your job give you gas?

I found a helpful link online describing 13 indicators of job burnout. I REALLY wish I'd had a list like this back in the day - maybe I would've resigned my old job more quickly. There are several relevant symptoms on the list: fatigue, irritability, cynicism, self-criticism, anger, helplessness, etc...

However, there were to indicators of job burnout that I was not aware of: (1) 'Gastrointestinal disturbances' and (2) weight gain.

Weight gain...one hugely obvious indicator, and I missed it...25+ extra pounds later. D'oh.

But the other - gastrointestinal disturbance - has me a bit baffled. I guess the article's referring to the type of stomach problems that plague stock traders or others for whom stress manifests itself physically. However, I can at least say that my old job never gave me stomach problems. No excess gas...no nausea or vomiting...no 'BG.'

If your stomach is bothering you really bad, maybe it's not that bean burrito you ate last night...maybe it's your job.

Or...maybe it is the bean burrito.
