Actually, I think it is hormones.
Adrenalin...Tam,<br /><br />Actually, I think it is hormones.<br /><br />Adrenaline.<br /><br />According to a teacher's book (Tools for Teaching, Fred Jones, highly recommended for teachers, parents, managers, and co-workers), adrenaline takes several minutes to build to a peak interferes-with-thinking overload. It takes 28 minutes to degrade back to average-thinking-plus-tired.<br /><br />The teacher is advised, when the phenomenon begins, to take a calming breath -- it will still be the 28 minutes to degrade, but the peak will occur much sooner at a lower level.<br /><br />As for traffic -- the stress occurs because you get closer to the car ahead. Leave 100-150 feet and you don't have to split your attention between operating your car and second guessing what the operator of the vehicle ahead is going to do, and also wondering whether the driver ahead of you is going to make the wisest choices and take the optimum decision paths. Back off, and the stresses are reduced. Don't drive slower, just further back. I like to leave at *least* room for two cars to pull in ahead of me, in any traffic. You get some wild-a**ed shenanigans, but mostly folk just look and wonder. Plus, it is my theory, you make stop and go traffic *less likely* for the cars behind you, with an adequate amount of space in front of you. Just think of the ethanol and battery-charging hours saved for your community!<br />Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-18103651548087303082013-08-09T16:46:08.788-04:002013-08-09T16:46:08.788-04:00Some grant application suggestions:

Annoyon generators are still in beta testing with the NSA. As such the annoyon particles are only generated when turned on by special codes in the website or broadcast being displayed.<br /><br />That's why the mainstream media is so annoying but reading gunny blogs is comforting.<br /><br />As for why the beta testing period is lasting so long, the NSA has been a little distracted ever since their director issued the command to "copy the entire Internets to local storage for examination". The copy is still running, and all the sysadmins (except Snowden) are busy setting up disk arrays and trying to keep ahead of the data.<br /><br />When it finishes, they will delete all of us from the Internets forever, so keep typing!TriggerFingerhttp://triggerfinger.org/weblog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-89500364060592825892013-08-09T13:35:21.057-04:002013-08-09T13:35:21.057-04:00Also, I think that annoyons are very promiscuous, ...Also, I think that annoyons are very promiscuous, like electrons, and can bounce from one person to another. The more people afflicted with annoyons in one place, the greater the body of annoyance per that group. Which says all you need to know about door buster sales, and Christmas shopping.
