It hasn’t been that much longer of a break for me (4 and a half day weekend), but new years doesn’t usually have me going to several dinners like Christmas or Thanksgiving and I actually got some really good rest, but I’m extremely upset at the idea of going back to work, it doesn’t help that I don’t like my job, but I’m too the point that I want to breakdown and/or quit. I’ve had similar experiences in school, and I’m curious to see if others have this or just me

    Not thinking about work for a couple of weeks has been soo relaxing. I’m starting to think I should just take a week off every once in a while just to help offset capitalism’s constant demands. 40 hours my ass. I only work like 10 of those each week.

      An option I found quite relaxing was, rather than taking a week off, take Wednesdays off for 5 weeks. Now you only have 2 day work weeks, and a day off when everything else is open and relatively quiet.

          I worked 4 10 hour days with Wednesdays off for an entire year at a previous job.

          It was the happiest I’ve ever been while working.

          Never working longer than two days in a row does something good to the mind and body.

            I miss the 4 10’s I worked at a prior job. That extra day off each week made a huge difference in my well being. Had time to both decompress and get personal stuff done. Hated the job though, management was demanding and unethical, so eventually quit.

      There is quite a bit of scientific evidence that doing so also just makes you more productive at work, which might be the most infuriating part for me.
