Answer:
The resulting bread isn't always that edible,
but making it does help your emotional state

In the direction
of management. Granted, this may not always be a career-improving move,
especially if you're newish, but a good manager will realise that a more
realistic schedule is cheaper, in the long run, than a burnt-out
employee.
One of the things you need most to get over stress is
good, healthy food. Thinking takes a lot of energy, too...
For some people (me, for one), making good food can even be a
destresser. It is so satisfying to make a really nice penne al salmone,
or a good stir-fry. Even more satisfying if you also get to eat it .
As always, this may not work for you; but it might.
Not necessarily. It might mean a discussion with your superiors (or your
closer colleagues) about how to stop your job from being so volatile.
You're on your first year and out of your try period, right? You
should be able to get a rest day or two: your manager probably sees
how stressed and tired you are, and will probably either allow you to
have a free day as compensation for the overwork(1), or give you
anticipated vacancies, if you ask him to. If he doesn't agree, since
you're out of your depth, going to see a doctor and bullying him for
some sick leave will probably work. And you won't be cheating: when
you're so tired and stressed that your work suffers from this, you
_are_ effectively ill. And your work will speed up once you've been
able to rest some. Get some good food from a traiteur, buy a dozen
books or so, and spend your day in bed reading.
