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
Now take that discomfort and dial it up a few hundred percent, maybe throw some resulting body issues in there and being ill a week thereafter.
The point I am often trying to make is: the separate issues are sometimes easy to understand (and that’s good) but the resulting issues are underestimated because of this.
Please do not take this as a aggression to your valid post, but I often feel this needs to be added.
Me sharing my discomfort was not intended to discount yours. But in the same vain, don’t discount my feelings either.
