well that's totally not fun.

<:[ I was met with burnout too. Sometimes I think college students work themselves too hard in half a year, that the break is hardly enough time to relax anymore. Everyone is too busy taking care of other things, making sure they have money, preparing for next year and next semester, and trying to take care of themselves all at once.

I mean, I'm not getting 1 day off per week regularly, but it's just not quite enough time away from people for me to recharge.
But it does at least keep my current burnout level from increasing too much.

[Merskelly Metalien]

*accepts hug* ;_; is the world is run by crazy indefatigable extroverts?...halp!

[Kaderin Triste]

Derpy! Go to work for me so I can stay home and nap!

[Merskelly Metalien]

Meanwhile, for my "break" I'll be having fun writing and stuff, <u<
Can't say it's not work tho,
it's aggravating, and frustrating, and exhausting...but I'm having fun! <x'}
I'd rather spend the time writing than working a 9 to 5 tbh. ;-; Though it's probably near in my future to work a 9 to 5...so I can get money....for myself. ;n; But before then, to LAND a job, I gotta not be a dead fish. <x} I have to convince people I'm alive. >w> If I feel good enough about myself and if I'm clever, I think I can fool them...

unless it's a holiday, i'm not usually off from either job unless i ask.

by the time december is over, i'll have had off on the 1st, 2nd (road trip across the state to take younger daughter back to college), the 14, 21, 24, 25, half of the 16th and 31st... and randomly off on the 27th. wtf??

that's like the most number of days off in many many months. i didn't even request off the 27th. i'll be confirming that one tomorrow. XD

[Kaderin Triste]

Derpy! Go write Merskelly's papers!
XD

Best advice? If you get along with your parent(s), live with them as long as you can and build up savings. Because rent and utikities and....well...just living is crazy expensive unless have roommates and/or an s.o. ti share the expenses.

[trystan830]

my older daughter - college grad just this past May - makes my inlaws her home base because it's closer to where she works. if she's home, hubby's charging her rent...like $30 a night. since the beginning of november, she's only spent 1 night at our house. LOL XD

[Kaderin Triste]

Well...that would get expensive if she was there more often. XD

[trystan830]

yeah, it would, actually. i think hubby had mentioned something about a monthly rate if she would end up being here all month.

in other news, i have another book at the library. i think i'l l be getting it tomorrow, but i'm still reading the current one (in my sig)...
