That's wrong. Absolutely wrong. You're entitled to more time off and you should beat whoever until they give you the time.

Burnout is bad, kids.

*squish*

Hurump!

*Baps you gently*

Thou shalt not sweat it!

I seriously know how you feel. *pets*

Sweetie, if you get the chance, rest. The writing will come easier if you're recharged when you try to do it.

*hugs*

Aw man, that's rough. Hope it gets better for you soon.

*hugs*

*HUGS*

*hugs hugs hugs*

work and real life can be sucky! we know! and dude, we'll be here when you get back, trust me *g*

*kisses*

Only one day off per month?! My God, I would have burned out long ago. I once worked for an entire week, without my usual weekend off, and I never wanted to go through that again. I don't know how you even have the energy to post to LJ about being burned out!

**pets**

Some times RL sucks donkey ass.

I can't wait for what ever you write next but the fact is you have to take care of your self. Don't go burning yourself out.(i am selfish, if you burn out where will the good stories come from?WEG)

But really you should totally have a rest, do something fun and stupid which totally wastes a day. personally an amusement park is my weapon of choice. really time to yourself is important, not just work!

Blech.

I just had a meeting with my advisor about this issue - I, too am feeling burnt out in a not healthy, is this really going to be my life, I love my work, but I'm not sure I love it so much I want to give up my freetime -kind of way.

She did acknowledge that I'll be working every day of my life, but that right now it's really bad and normally it's just a few hours. Maybe you're at a shitty point, too?

I'm trying to readjust my expectations so I'm excited for almost whole days off. :/

Feel better, hon. ((tighthugs))

I so know the feeling! I'm grateful beyond belief for the work I have. But it's killing me. The weekend bookkeeping gig, the toy shows (selling) - when the season restarts (which is soon, yay!) are great. But the slave labor of the dollar chain store I assistant manage at? To use a friend's words, the place is batshit insane! I'm exhausted all the time, fighting a cold right now and can't take time off.

But, I am interviewing a LOT to get more of my normal work, bookkeeping, administration, office management, etc., so that I can leave the chain store ASAP.

I look at it this way. It's temporary. I'm still grateful to be working. I just would like to have more than meeting my expenses with my roommate. *g* I'd, gee, I don't know, like to save money again! *tired sigh along with you*

So, I get the part-time jobs adding up to no time off. I know you have do it right now for the money and in the middle of that is the lovely, heavenly music and the kids singing it to keep you somewhat sane.

It won't be like this forever, honest. Just hang in there. Yeah, I want more story. You're part of what keeps me sane too. *VBG* But, you seriously need rest. The stories witll always wait and so will I. I told you a long time ago that I wasn't here just for the fic and I meant it. *kisses your tired cheek*

I take it you keep a day planner and/or calender on you full-time? You gotta cut a day from someone soon, even if it does mean one less day of pay.

Paying yourself with a day of rest is more important right now, truly.

BTW - thanks for re-adding me on this LJ too. *hugs you again just 'cause!* ;)

And? I think you may still have more energy than me. You know why? You actually have the energy *and* the concentration to post! That is gone with me and ever so slightly annoying my very loving roomie. *waves at Dolimir*

So, go rest, before this energy does not get a recharge period.

{{{{hugstight!}}}}

*squeezes you*

*HUGS* Awww. How is the end of April looking for you? I don't want to be annoying you when you're trying to get ready for a tour.

*Hugs!*
Hang in there, dolce.

Hey- just wanted to drop a comment and say I miss you and your posts. I know you're busy but I hope it's good busy and not sucky busy. Come back soon!
