I'm tired. Seriously. I haven't been to the gym for months. I haven't shed a hard earned sweat. I find myself sitting in front of my computer with two air condition openings directly targeted at me. I wear a jacket in the office. So you know what I'm talking about is not physical.
My emotions and brain are tired from work. To put it to the extremes, I haven't even used any of my vacation leaves. I have 20 unused vacation leaves and we're about to end October. Go figure. Apart from the allotted vacation leaves, I have complimentary time offs because of my dedicated attendance during Philippine Holidays since we service other Asian markets. I find myself easily irritated nowadays and frankly at this point, I don't care how many vacation leaves I have left. What I need now is an actual vacation to take place in the fear that maybe next stress level I will encounter may lead me to combust!
There's a reason why vacation leaves are created by companies. Take it or else you'll end up feeling where I am now. Mentally and emotionally tired from all the crappy decisions that define your work. Every industry and every position has its challenges that's why vacation leaves are there for you to take so you could recharge and regroup. Constantly facing crappy people and suffocating yourself with tiresome and unreasonable decisions made from outer space will tire you. Vacation leaves are there to take your time away from miserable, incompetent and sometimes unreasonable people or situations you work with, usually for. Enjoying a time off from the office make you value your work even more. You'd think at least with your work, you get to pay for the top service and luxury setting you could enjoy, but most importantly vacations make you think clearly and let's you strategize. They are supposed to keep employees sane. So I urge you to take it!
And I will take my first ever vacation this November 5 and 6. A Monday and a Tuesday. Oh-joy! I'm going to Cebu, the place of my birth, my ultimate place of relaxation and a city so close to my heart. Nothing new and nothing grand, but I'm drooling for it every single day. About two weeks left and I'm gone. Now my leave is down to 18. I've already planned out things for December.
So in moments of defeated feeling like this think of your next grand vacation and hold that thought until the crappy feeling subsides.
