re: #536 Obdicut

I have been working way too much. I’m getting too irate at stuff I should be laughing at the idiocy of. I need a minivacation or staycation or some bullshit terminology term for just taking it freaking easy.

This is my problem in being my own boss. I am a workaholic, I keep taking on more and more work. It’s really hard to say no to another job and more money and more stuff to do. But I really got to. I haven’t snapped at my wife or anything yet but, judging from my reaction to trolls around here, I’m down to my last thin wire.

I hope this nice weather holds. If it does, I can put my current projects to bed over the next couple of weeks, carve out some space, and just lie around in the sunshine.

Part of the problem is I bill at completion of project, so right now I have a ton of payments coming, but very little in the bank account right now, which really exacerbates my MUST WORK MORE attitude.

If you can’t take a several-days break, take a one day break. Get as far away as you can on public transit, take walks and read in cafes, don’t come home until after dark. Leave in the dark too, if you can. Don’t take a phone. (That might be the hard part.)
