Stress Takes Its Toll
Larry Field had a lot of fun in high school. He was a fairly good student, especially in math, he
worked harder than most of his friends, and somehow he ended up going steady with Alice
Shiflette, class valedictorian. He worked summers for a local surveyor, William Loude, and
when he graduated Mr. Loude offered him a job as number-three man on one of his survey
crews. The pay wasn?t very high, but Larry already was good at the work, and he believed all
he needed was a steady job to boost his confidence to ask Alice to marry him. Once he did,
events unfolded rapidly. He started work in June, he and Alice were married in October, Alice
took a job as a secretary in a local company that made business forms, and a year later they had
their first child.
The baby came as something of a shock to Larry. He had come to enjoy the independence his
own paycheck gave him every week. Food and rent took up most of it, but he still enjoyed
playing basketball a few nights a week with his high school buddies and spending Sunday
afternoons on the softball field. When the baby came, however, Larry?s brow began to furrow a
bit. He was only 20 years old, and he still wasn?t making much money. He asked Mr. Loude
for a raise and got it?his first.
Two months later, one of the crew chiefs quit just when Mr. Loude?s crews had more work
than they could handle. Mr. Loude hated to turn down work, so he made Larry Field a crew
chief, giving his crew some of the old instruments that weren?t good enough for the precision
work of the top crews, and assigned him the easy title surveys in town. Because it meant a
jump in salary, Larry had no choice but to accept the crew chief position. But it scared him. He
had never been very ambitious or curious, so he?d paid little attention to the training of his
former crew chief. He knew how to run the instruments?the basics, anyway?but every
morning he woke up terrified that he would be sent on a job he couldn?t handle.
During his first few months as a crew chief, Larry began doing things that his wife thought he
had outgrown. He frequently talked so fast that he would stumble over his own words,
stammer, turn red in the face, and have to start all over again. He began smoking, too,
something he had not done since they had started dating. He told his two crew members that
smoking kept his hands from shaking when he was working on an instrument. Neither of them
smoked, and when Larry began lighting up in the truck while they were waiting for the rain to
stop, they would become resentful and complain that he had no right to ruin their lungs too.

Larry found it particularly hard to adjust to being "boss," especially since one of his workers
was getting an engineering degree at night school and both crew members were the same age
as he. He felt sure that Alfonso Reyes, the scholar, would take over his position in no time. He
kept feeling that Alfonso was looking over his shoulder and began snapping any time they
worked close together.
Things were getting tense at home, too. Alice had to give up her full-time day job to take care
of the baby, so she had started working nights. They hardly ever saw each other, and it seemed
as though her only topic of conversation was how they should move to California or Alaska,
where she had heard that surveyors were paid five times what Larry made. Larry knew his wife
was dissatisfied with her work and believed her intelligence was being wasted, but he didn?t
know what he could do about it. He was disconcerted when he realized that drinking and
worrying about the next day at work while sitting at home with the baby at night had become a
pattern.
