Poll: What are you worried about?
I don't want to be a party pooper, but thought it would be interesting to take the pulse of what seems to be a generally contented group of people.
I hope this won't become a platform for rants.

I'm not a worrier at all. Life is good! So I'm not worried, or worrying about anything.
Like Alfred E. Neuman....."What, me worry?"

Got no worries, well, except for a sick sheep at the moment and I didn't see livestock on your list of concerns. 
Life is good and it is even better when you have the good sense to appreciate it!

My health - am I going to croak before I spend all the money?
Whether it is nobler to croak at 84.6 or go past 91 shown in the latest revision of ORP.

I used to worry a lot....about everything. I have finally realized that I have very little control over anything. I just deal with a problem when it comes up.

I'm kind of worried that the Yankees aren't going to make the playoffs this year.

I'm worried about the 1000 plus posts I've made in a year where i took a two-month hiatus from the internet. Have I been offensive enough?

I notice nobody has said they are worried about work!! I know this is an ER forum, but I didn't realize our membership was that mellow.

I have been actively campaigning at work for a severance package each of the last four layoffs / restructures.
No luck so far.
I'm now in a pickle. We want to move out of state now and there are jobs in one of the areas we'd love to relocate to, but I'm under contract to receive a sizable bonus if I stay through this year. It's a retention bonus designed to keep some of us around through the layoffs. If they lay me off, I get the money early. Otherwise, I need to gamble on where I can actually move to in the middle Winter (and traditionally a poor time to find a job).
