Too much work today, despite all the tools I've developed throughout my career to force myself to take frequent breaks, today was not possible...and this taking into account that I am teleworking at home today.
Sometimes teleworking can be even worse than going to the office because, basically, it seems that you must be reachable at all times...
Today was horrible, honestly.
As soon as one of those hateful Teams meetings ended, another one started without further ado, It was stressful.
Obviously, before taking the Christmas holidays, people usually step on the accelerator to get everything done "on time" and leave without worries.
It's also my case. I have to close many open points, and, in addition, I confess that I'm going to take vacations earlier than usual. My last day of work is this Thursday since on Friday I have a complicated visit with the dentist, and I prefer to take it easy this time.
As for the rest, I'm planning a long and happy vacation, which won't be so because on the 20th my brother-in-law's family is coming to our house, with 4 more nephews to look after and feed (LoL).
They'll stay with us until the 27th (OMG! a whole week)...and, although I'm glad that my relatives are coming to our house since they live out of the country, I can't stop stressing myself out thinking that we have to plan regular lunches and dinners plus the usual Christmas Eve, Christmas and St. Stephen's Day parties...a hell of a mess.
In any case, I plan to resist stoically.
Yeah this time of the year is all but calm. 🫣
There are hard days sometimes when everyone has to take a lot of pressure. You are no exception. Best wishes to your relatives, they are coming to your home to enjoy.
