I don't technically get next week off but I emphatically do not care

apparently no one in the offices we work with in Germany, France, Canada or Japan will be working (90% of my business correspondence)

some companies aren't coming back until the week AFTER New Year's

every year I receive a bunch of "we'll be on holiday for like two weeks" messages from business partners and get so salty

anyway I'm busting ass to finish everything this week so I don't have to look at work until January 3 at the earliest

fuck you, standard American "you don't even get Christmas Eve or NYE off" (:

wait for me a little longer, friends......

wow they should just give you that time off, wth ...

today is my final work day until jan 2 but it's weirdly busy, why!!

demonology: THEY SHOULD, SHOULDN'T THEY

especially since my boss lives in Germany lol

I straight up told my direct reports to take it easy and that no one will be working. I don't have the authority to literally give them the time off but I made my lack of expectations very clear

go enjoy your time with family and friends! capitalism will survive just FINE for a week!

GOOD i'm sure they appreciate it

who can focus on ANYTHING during this time tbh

I already can't focus on anything

today was kind of a wash. i ate a lot of cheese though (too much, in fact, I'm terribly full oops)

something stupid came up at work last minute and now I have to fight off anxiety over it going into the weekend, hate that

how to keep from being HAUNTED by lingering work thoughts
