			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>It seems that when it comes to jobs, 2009 is going to be a lot like 2008, only worse, writes Fortune&#8217;s Anne Fisher in her <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/06/news/economy/10.tips.fortune/index.htm">Jan. 7 Ask Annie column</a>. Feeling stressed out now is totally normal. The trouble is that letting an out-of-control environment get under your skin will eventually make you less great at your job, hence more likely to lose it. </p>
<p>Are you stressed by the economic chaos? How are you coping? Any suggestions for staying cool when the going gets rough? What survival tips do you have?</p>
