The survey was done, the results are in... "Today is the most stressful day of the year." Why?

A combination of the cold weather, economic gloom and end to Christmas festivities will leave workers battling the January blues.
It will leave people more likely to become irritated by the slightest things.

This is followed by sniffing, an irritant to 26 per cent and talking too loudly on the phone, which was cited by 21 per cent.

Ok, so it's not the most scientific poll, but if you were on vacation for the last week or so (like me), and are back in the cubicle for the first time today it rings true. One bit of career advice, though: the article mentions "releasing tensions through shouting and screaming." You might want to wait till you get home.
