I need some time off. Today was for sure my most unproductive day of the year and I'm unusually annoyed about it.
Burnout is starting to feel more palpable lately. I never even enter this vacations thread because it's so irrelevant for me.

On the bright side, you're going to have a lot of nice stuff to give away to people after you die.
Go on vacation dummy.

Also voted the best place to take an evening walk by everyone who doesn't like you.

I've been thinking this myself lately. This is fucking stupid, but it's a vicious cycle that I've gotten caught up in, where the work doesn't wait and only I can get it done, and it's really getting to me now.

There's definitely a part of me that just wants to like bail out for like a month next summer, get fully away from work, and see if that helps mentally reset.

Yeah we don’t really get vacations, just work deferral. But sometimes you just need to defer the work and take care of yourself!

Yep, currently off for a month but not really a vacation as it is baby watch 2023. Still trying to do some fun stuff while prepping for the little buy to arrive.
PAT leave for 12 weeks next hopefully acts as a mini reset while bonding with the kid. We have been looking into budget friendly vacations for that time as well.

I don't mind cold *too much* but man these last couple winters have felt super gloomy, dark, and depressing.
Definitely nice to get to a sunny spot if you're able.

it's like 11 degrees here today... biked to work with no gloves, which is unheard of for December.
of course, it's also gloomy and grey as fuck. my normal harbour view is just mist...
and November was the first month in Halifax in nearly five years that was at least a degree colder than average.
anyways, no moral to these anecdotes beyond, "gah, climate change!"

Cold never really bothered me in the past....but with every passing year, I realize life is better with full sun at 25C.
Like you mentioned, the lack of daylight in mid December hits hard

I think the short days affect me more than the cold.
The like 5 degree mornings are pretty much perfect cycle commuting weather for me.

yah...I mean, wearing a decent jacket solves the 5 degree "problem"...can't accessorize your way into more daylight

This is it yeah. It has been a phenomenal November and December as far as the weather is concerned. I've spent more time outside more than I do in peak summer. Shortest day of the year in a couple days and then it's all uphill from there at least.
