For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

    • Work is always busy with everyone rushing and demanding things so they can meet some arbitrary deadline for their time off.
    • Supposedly the season of peace, love, caring but i see far more commercialism and selfish behavior.
    • Gift giving is awkward. I don’t feel worthy of receiving gifts. People spend too much on junk I don’t need which oddly makes me feel bad for not being able to match that amount of spending. And it all just usually leaves me with a feeling that the people around me don’t really know much about me.

    Oh, and we can only be in one place… with family/in-laws in different places we always miss the ones we can’t be with.
