Two quite stressful places. Newton >> Any profession, no matter how "unstressful," can have a moment or two when a deadline has to be met. I see meeting a deadline, and having a stress free job, as two different things. A lot depends on how you deal with a deadline. I think of stress as it relates to the pressures associates with the job over which a person has no control. Even in a recital situation, the piano tuner has some control, in that he can always tell the performer, and even the audience, that the show won't go on until the piano is ready. Not that you want to do that, but it can happen. Just my 2 cents worth. Wim
