I feel exhausted, burned out. The workload just keeps piling up, and there鈥檚 less and less time to rest. What keeps me going are these little escapes to the smolweb.

@danrl i hope so. And you are right. Some people work a lot, others don't. Thanks. 路 3 weeks ago
sounds tough :/ the workload at the government often seems very unfairly distributed. hope you get a chance to shed some load soon and have more time for walks in the park and radio!

@melyanna thank you for your concern. Yes, it won鈥檛 be easy for the pace to slow down in the coming months. Since I work for the Government, I have many commitments every day of the week, including weekends. I鈥檒l probably have more free time by the end of 2025. 路 3 weeks ago
I have been there, it is tough. The longer you stay in this "burn out" mode, the longer it will take you to recover.
I understand from other comments here that it might not be simple for you to take a long break, but I hope you will get this opportunity soon. 路 3 weeks ago
@dragfyre Thanks for the reply. Yes, the calm vibe of the smolweb is fantastic and really gives me a break from the hustle of daily life. I do enjoy nature, and I love walking in the park, listening to my favorite music. I'm also still trying to make time for my number one hobby, which is radio communications. 路 3 weeks ago
T____T feeling this. be available, but take your me time, take those escapes.
gemini is a nice one for sure. the two-tone aesthetic and slower pace is quite calming. do you enjoy getting into nature? nothing like an escape into a forested area, for me. 路 3 weeks ago
@fripster It鈥檚 not about the money. I earn the same regardless of how many hours I work. My position is political, and I have to be available at all times, including weekends. It鈥檚 the life I chose 12 years ago. I need to find ways of escaping :). Thanks for the concern. 路 3 weeks ago
Don't let get work in the way of your personal health. I had to learn the hard way. Life is not about work, but life is about life itself, and work is just a means to get some money to be able to live. Set your priorities right! There will always be more work. If you have too much, it is not you who is wrong, it's your employer: They do not hire enough people for the amount of work. Hope this helps a bit.... 路 3 weeks ago
