How to tell if you’re officially burned out

the thing is, here in America, most americans only get 1 or 2 weeks of vacation time, and that's it.

some countries, the workers get several weeks vacation a year.

when i had my vacation time, i'd spread it out over the year.

one job i had worked up to 4 weeks off (with pay), so i'd take a week off every quarter (every 3 months)

i always had christmas week, and go back after new years day.

i'd very rarely took all 4 weeks off at once. i rarely took 2 consecutive weeks off...

i always felt that by taking too much time off, would make me hate going back to work, all the more...lol

now that i have been retired.....i am on vacation all the time now....lol

but until all US companies give more than an obligatory 1 or 2 weeks off (with pay), workers from all industries will burn out sooner.

one place i worked at, gave me all the vacation time i wanted but didn't pay for them, other than the obligatory paid vacations they had.

but that did not matter to me, i made up that pay in a week's time.

 

When burned out, crack open a Bud Light

 

It is a necessary part of life in my opinion. I took the last week of February, all of March, and the first week of April off this year. I came back to work with a new vigor after my 45 days off.

 

Not necessarily a “Bud”, but you have the right idea, an Adult Beverage of the individuals choice is always “Golden”.

 

Chinatown is spot on.

lol,I remember when I bought my first Truck- I was in debt, Debt has always scared me....So I Worked every Week for like the first 3 years,Killed Me.

Course,Family and Friends always questioned why I work so Much- Never had a Good answer other than "Im Behind" Which Is never a good excuse not to spend time with them.

Maturity changed that..Now,I take 6 weeks vacation per year (Even if its just relaxing around the house) But I Do go Either on a Cruise or a Getaway 1 time per year-

And I tell ya folks 1 thing-Which most will agree with me, When on Vacation- I Dont want to even look at a Steering Wheel,lol. I Dont do any Driving.

 

Metro Manila kinda sucks. Terrible air quality, and far to many people. That being said. There is some amazing places to visit in the Philippines.

I'll be spending nearly six months there this winter.

 

Lack of passion, apathy, tiredness. Anxiety, Trucking has always been a roller coaster ride, which I enjoy, Hard to keep a good balance, sometimes. It’s best for Me to take a break, re assess things, look at alternatives, I try to be grateful, Never being satisfied, always wanting more, can become a way of life, An unhappy one.Treat yourself good, Life is short, Rich or poor, it all ends the same.

 

Absolutely Correct- Although you can't Convince The Rich that- They'll always think their unstoppable and Immortal.
