General ramblings and everyday life

Try.
I know it's hard and all, and a lot of us have to work on Christmas Day, but if you can figure out a way, take that day off.

this will be the first Christmas in many years, that I will be off-duty, it might be a novel experience

You going to tie yourself into a package?

Do not forget a pink bow 😋

And the " Do Not Open Till Christmas " sticker.

In case you're wondering... The last 6 months I was working 60-hour weeks on various projects (work, very kinky but in the other sense 😁 ), and the last two weeks I was on vacation (yeaaaahhhhh!!!!!!) So, trying to slowly pick everything back up 😉

It seems to be a common thread - those of us 'lucky' enough to have a job all seem to be working longer and longer hours. 

I've had to try and regain some control of my work/life balance over the last 12months after realising everything was getting out of control. Work was all, life was nothing - family and friends had all become background noise... which was not right at all! 

I still know I'm working too much (at least the +60hr weeks have dropped to +50hr weeks) but my mental and physical health have improved massively, resulting in me being much happier and healthier. 

Work to live, not live to work.

Very true. And no pay raise! 😁

It happened to me more than 10 years ago, when I temporary lost my job. Suddenly, the life explained me that regardless how good I am, how much I do, and how much the company needs me, I can be "removed" because of some weird circumstances. That came as both a shock and a cure. Since then almost no illusions left - the company egregors will squeeze us and throw us away when there is nothing comes out of us regardless the pressure. So, it's our responsibility to remain healthy and sane.

Sport was a huge help, but then it started ruining my body, so I switched to yoga, qigong and meditations. These things do help. Not all sport and life related traumas are healed yet, but I think I'm on the right track 😉

Oh... While we are at it... "Nofap" mode also helps a lot ;P (Check my profile. Thoroughly 😉 )
