I've been feeling this a lot lately rule

I have just had a rough week at work due to some difficult deadlines that none of my senior managers are willing to hear out, and we lost some additional developers due to a layoff. I'm really stressed

I think you’re missing the last step where you put the hotdogs inside. Then you will not be empty.

Sounds like you work for business people. Find a company run by engineers.

That's because cat wants cheeseburgers, not hot dogs

You ever have the thought come into you're head that "I can't wait to get home" even though you're already sitting at home

If you feel empty inside after eating hot dogs then you are nae true hotdog lover. No biggie. Not everyone can handle all beef franks, a dollop of chili, chopped onions, and mustard on brioche buns. Maybe you are a BLT lover instead, or perhaps a chocolate lover? Maybe those would fill you up and temporarily make you forget all your occupational drama, if only briefly. You can always make up for it by spending a little more time working out or exercising the next day, which is also good for dealing with stress. Win-win.

What if it is just a coping mechanism for trauma? I.... my stomach is full, but I remain empty.
