Sabbaticals

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while and I think its only fitting the starting off the new year and looking at getting “back into work” that we start thinking about our next time off.

What?

Yes, you are working to live, not living to work! Remember that.

Part of the problem

Admittedly, I’m terrible at taking time off. As in, horrible at it. There are several reasons for this. I’m a workaholic and its something I’m trying to get better at. But also, there is a part of me, that has a child that can throw some health issue wrenches your way at the drop of a hat and put you in the hospital. Having a “bank” of days to rely on, even when the company would bend over backwards to make it work with sick days and family sick days, and every other internet company benefit you can think of… I’m from a broken system in my early years and its hard to get out of that mental thought process. I’m part of the problem here!
