Taking as many hours on the job as I possibly can take.Permalink
Saving up as much money as I can, for I have a beachside vacation in less than three weeks from now. I will leave my gaming consoles behind for a few days, and I will leave my job behind for a few days, and I will bring a couple of books and plan on sipping cold ginger ales under a warm sun. I seriously am looking forward to that.

I am feeling intense burnout. Not because of the gaming, but because of the job. And because of the classes I am taking for my job. I do not even want to look at a monitor or screen of any kind when I get home from the office most days, because I stare at one and type nonstop when I am on the job.

At the same time, I wish I had more moments where I had several hours to myself at a time, so I could get some of my gaming backlog out of the way. Either that, or read a novel. In any case, my life has become mostly work with little play and little rest. I will have earned my week on the beach when it finally comes three weeks from now.

And I am seeing Dream Theater in concert a week from today, which should be lovely.

I want an end to this burnout feeling, damnit. This sucks.

Xpovos A vacation sounds like exactly what you need; a beach one is ideal. Snooze on the beach, but avoid getting a sunburn. I also like walking/running as a meditative act for mental refreshment. Beaches are excellent for that because the scenery is varied and running on sand is hard work... it forces you to go slowly.

Just make sure the books you're bringing are suitably light in tone and style as well. This isn't the time to catch up on your Dostoyevsky.

JRPGsForTheWin Yeah, perhaps I'll finally get around to hopping on the Steig Larsson bandwagon this vacation and read his trilogy. It seems like everybody else around me has already read them, and I am just far behind and left out.

skylinesend The Steig Larsson books were good. A great story and fun to read.
