I’ve worked over Christmas, but Know how you feel, big restructure where I work, three of the six doing my job were “unsuccessful” which resulted in the remaining three covering the work, not much fun on a rolling 12hr shift.
I’ve started to get really snappy, vacant, lethargic all not good signs really. I manage to get really sick in my last role Ashe company, went for the career big time, 70+ hours at work, didn’t see my Wife Kids mates, stopped riding my bike, and in the end broke down, took me six months to get my head back together with lots of support from my wife, changed role, similar level in the business, but with fixed breaks due to the shift. But I’m not happy, and recently I’ve felt myself sliding again, extra hours, mainly nights haven’t helped I feel like I’m staying at a B&B rather than a part of my family.
It’s a tough position to be in we all need to work, and the issue is do you just want to do “anything else” or actually go do something that you think would be more fulfilling, but you’ll end up being miserable again.
Well that’s my dilemma anyway!!
On the plus side I’ve managed not to do a Falling Down impression just yet!!
