The Jewish struggle of identity that we battle between each other and within ourselves. It's a struggle as old as that between God and Jonah, Abraham and Moses, Hillel and Shammai, Jiggin and Schumacher, and now Elman and Batalion.
My mother and I had a YidLife Crisis when she saw me eat a Lifesaver while fasting on Yom Kippur. My argument was that it was medical because my breath smelled like gedempte. Besides, I didn't enjoy it because it came from the bottom of my pocketbook and was covered in schmutz. It was grey!

Get the yidlife crisismug. When you love a book, movie, TV show, etc. so much that you wish that those characters or the fantasy itself was real; if you wish that you could live in a fairytale or dimension alongside your favorite characters, you are experiencing a dimensional crisis. Most often experienced by teenage girls with unhealthy obsessions or people who find themselves enamored with the idea of a certain storybook realm or certain characters. Most often experienced right after finishing a beloved movie, book, or series of some sort. Side effects can be temporary sadness and/or frustration caused by the fact that you are aware that your wish will never come true.
"Have you ever wished that you could live in Harry Potter's dimension and see all the cool creatures? Or live in a Disney movie and marry the Prince?"
"Dude, I think you're having a dimensional crisis, you need to come back down to Earth, those things aren't real."
"I know, but I wish they were. It's kind of frustrating that I'll never see Diagon Alley, and I'm sad that I can't marry Prince Charming. This sucks."

Get the Dimensional Crisismug. by Aaron Gibbs September 11, 2007
Get the Midwife Crisismug. There are a lot of "manufactured" phenomena that are disingenuous, shameful, and harmful to the evolution of the human species. Besides the all-to-common manufactured drama, there is the "manufactured crisis" that, in one common instance, upper management uses when they feel guilty for earning so much money for doing relatively nothing. They create a crisis to feel self-important and to re-assert their position in the pecking order of the organization.
Manufactured crisis can also involve skewing research and statistics, falsification of reports, outright lying, and the presentation of various unfounded data to to things like: sway public opinion, create drama in a small uneventful human lives, get a person stigmatized and/or fired from their job, acquire funding and administrative support for pet projects, and a affect a myriad of hypocritical and radically dishonest outcomes.
Being blissfully unaware, willfully obtuse, and ultimately subjugated by those employing this tactic is often embraced by those wanting to advance their own agenda and/or enforce their own preconceptions. This is a larger social phenomenon used to define (again) manufactured, superficial, and subjective dualities of "good and evil", "us and them", "right and wrong", et. al. It is common throughout the history of civilization and has been key to the human atrocities that stem from not only an innate human arrogance and elitism, but the coupling of (2) very disparate and volatile human elements: insecurity and competitive drive.
This phenomena's efficacy in "rallying troops" has helped it to become a common propaganda model used in right and left wing media, politics, and corporations which are often one-in-the-same in today's oligarchical society.

Get the midnight crisismug. Management by crisis is a phrase used to describe the common problem of allowing unexpected events, interruptions, problems, or emergencies to dictate your priorities and actions.
Successfully diffusing a crisis requires an understanding of how to handle a crisis – before it occurs.
Successfully diffusing a crisis requires an understanding of how to handle a crisis – before it occurs.
To eliminate the worst practice of management by crisis you need to take two important steps. First, you must distinguish between a real crisis, which is something important that requires your immediate attention, and other lesser problems, events, or interruptions that do not qualify as a true crisis. Hence the word Crisis Management.
