You know there are ppl that’d take a 50/50 shot at life to be in your position! Look at those that wish to be in your position. Not the ones that you wish to be in their position! Contentment is the greatest asset in life.
Guess how bad this sucks when your in a customer service job. I mask so often that I'm getting anxiety and depression from it. But I'm in my 50s with customer service skill being what they will to pay for.
Im not feeling well today. But now im anxious cause ive miss 3+ meetings and i have 7 more tomorrow but I have a fever and really cant think straight. But the other lady who runs the meetings is also sick and so that's like 3 admins who run things OOO. How do you deal with the guilt?
I worked 12 hours shifts in critical care. It took 2 hours of recharge before I could even prepare for the next day. Worst part was to be asked by hubby what was for dinner. Answer: toast and wine.
I can definitely relate to this as a language teacher. While I’m lucky enough not to have to work the notorious 8 h a day, I still avoid scheduling more than two classes back to back, otherwise it’s just a huge disservice to myself and my students
When i hit Power Save, i don't get to lie down. My doggo is really good at recognising when i'm about to switch off, and brings me his ball, drops it in my lap and just sits there looking at me until i down tools and take him outside to play.
His mantra is "ball mek it betta". You know what? It does.
Overwhelmingly accurate, but mine is a mix of meetings and phone calls. I was SO broken yesterday after work that I just lay down on the sitting room floor for half an hour
I hope people understand that a social battery running out isn't necessarily a sign you weren't enjoying yourself. I have been mid having a blast with people online or otherwise and BAM, brick wall. I want to continue but the battery ran out and mental recharge needed.
I feel this to my bones. I'm an introvert, so after a long day of meetings, calls, etc., all I want to do is mentally check out. I do not want to talk to anyone, not even my sweety. Just give me the floor and my dog.
I teach English as a second language, so when classes are btb I end up spent, knackered, because it’s like a meeting where you present all the time. That level of exposure and mental work for 6 or 7hs just empties my engines. I go to bed with my cats and watch old movies. Battery restored 😊
During the Rona, i thought floor time was like a me thing. Apparently not. I legit got done with work, laid on the floor for over an hour one time. Not moving, not thinking, just nothing.

Exactly
Yep!!! Every. Damn. Day!!!
Reloading … Reloading …🔁
Watching this on the floor next to my WFH desk
If you cry a little bit while lying down, you recharge faster (-:
This was literally me today… With the extra boost of the pets instantly coming to lay on me 😊
POWer dooooown
I work in schools, not corporate america, and I still have floor time during my planning periods

Ha, yes. Know this feeling all too well. Though I am on the couch
With the Return to Office mandates, they'd best also be providing mats for the floor times.
this is how I feel when I have meetings at 8 and 9 pm – I sometimes have to work on US time

Oh nooooo! You had to do actual work… sitting in your comfy clothes at home … tragedy
Exactly.

How do you deal with the guilt?
What headset are you using ?
My roommate put me in charge of getting a rug and pointed out a soft one would be good for floor time so I feel seen
Really cracked me up. I used to take 15 minute self-hypnosis naps mid-afternoon at work. Nobody knew

I feel like the minute she lays on the floor the music…"Hello Darkness, my old friend…" should start
"Mental health minute" is how I justify watching a quick YT short(s) at work. Without guilt, I might add, sometimes you need to let your brain re-set.
This was me when I worked at Honda. I felt so burned out from constantly giving my energy throughout the day.

Very relatable

I can’t the number of days when I finished my workday, then went to bed for an hour because I was drained
Writing this from my floor, next to my cat and my dog. 16:25 as of now and have been in meetings since 9:00 🥲
Work used to be work. Now it’s a joke.

Kinda weird that you don't blink, lol.
I feel you
This hits SO hard.

Hate when this happens mid call and you have to fake it.
That’s the best part of working remotely. Your doors are locked and floor is carpeted. 😕
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's crazy because half those meetings could have been very informative emails..lol
Imagine how tired you would be if you actually had to work like a real grownup.
Yep and they still wonder why haven’t done other tasks which are higher priority 🙄🤦♀️😏😵💫
makes me glad I never had a boss, never had a meeting, never had a suit or tie, never had a steady job.
