I don't think I hate the job, I think I'm just at the point that I'm tired of working. Too much of it during the last twenty+ years. I feel just worn out...all the time.

Agreed. I've been doing the same thing for over 25 years. The job is good but my youth is gone. Ready for the next phase of life.

Strange feeling! 🙁 I'm thinking my health (weight gain, etc) is going downhill right now. I really should go get a good checkup.

Over the last year I've increased my eating by 2x, and my work by 3x, but I've gained 20 pounds :^S

I'm starting to grow out of my clothes, but don't want to cut down on food. I could shave some calories here and there, but I don't eat tons of food.... Well, except for this winter. I've been eating like I have a tapeworm. Seems like I'm always hungry :^D Maybe I'll get rid of the weight in the spring.

Though I'm still too young to feel worn out. :biggrin:

I used to feel this back pre-college, dreading Sundays, when breaks were over, etc. I haven't felt that way since college.

I took the last four months off waiting for my new job because I didn't like the one I was at and wanted a break. I go to my new job in eight days.

I feel you 😛
 
Ditto to the OP. You'd think that I'd have found some time to correct this pile of tests during the break. Nope... I'll be up late tonight correcting tests. If I recall correctly, before I left, I did my lesson plans for tomorrow and left them on the front desk. I hope so anyhow, otherwise I'm going to be winging it tomorrow.

Spent the break suffering from this damn flu, and while sick, still spending as much time as I can to rebuild the shed/small barn. Had to rebuild the roof, including the rafters. Roof is almost done; reserving a few pieces to use as a cover over the lumber. About 10 more feet of siding to do, then I can finish the roof. Getting the ridge cap up there is going to be difficult; plus the top 2 rows of screws.
 
Two weeks of eating too much, drinking, catch up on movies, tennis, fishing, going to the beach, lounging, play video games, or just do nothing. I can really get used to doing this during retirement. Ya, going back to work is gonna suck but I'm recharged and there's lots of big projects to tackle for this year. Hope I still remember my login passwords.
 
I took off the Mon and Tue before Christmas Eve, had my 13 days off (and drove through 11 states in the south and east), got back in time to go back to work on the 2nd and have worked 24 hours this year, so far.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to it although it's a huge job. I'm going to be a working Executive Chef/F & B Manager. Starting from scratch, writing menus, menu specs, hiring, training, ordering and, in my spare time... :biggrin:

Sounds like a lot of work, but it'll be pretty cool being able to realize your vision, instead of following someone else's template :^)
 
For someone who usually does 6 day work weeks, having 2 days off is nice. Taking 3 days off makes me feel lazy. With appointments and errands after the work day, on day off, and meet up it can get tiring fast. Add to that having only 2-3 hrs sleep some nights it can be challenging. Very much look forward to our 6 weeks off in end of January. Days when I used to work 16-18 work days and where I don't go home for 2-3 days at a time are over, thank god.
 
You think thats bad? Not only did I have a bunch of days off but I was leaving my job so the days before that were filled with thoughts of "I don't have to care about this because its no longer my problem."

Now instead of the nice cushy job I know I have to go in tomorrow and learn all kinds of new things. LEARN which means I also have to pay attention. Ick.
