This is it. I never took home stress from any previous job until I got an office job. (AutoCAD Draftsman for Fire/Gas Industrial systems).

My life as a radioshack wage slave began and ended when I clocked in and out. If something was fucked when we left the previous night that was tomorrows problem. It's retail, no one is being paid enough to truly care.

Doing contract work for engineers who are willfully ignorant of fire code causes me lasting stress in my soul.

Either way the biggest stress is still financial and I'll stop stressing about that when I'm dead.
