I'm another one of those people who is too guilt wracked to take a day off and just rest. To the point that the last time I did was when I was recovering from surgery the day before. And the time before that probably ditto.
BTW I don't recommend it. I think it's a stupid habit that leads to unhappiness and burnout.
The screening call I was supposed to have yesterday afternoon was cancelled by them at the last minute because the person who was supposed to do the call had a doctor appointment. She said she'd reschedule for next week but, oof, yesterday was rough at work. I totally blew up in a meeting (just an internal one, but still). I really am wondering if it would be totally insane to quit without having already secured a new job. Probably.
Tough one, lisah. I hope the screening call gets rescheduled quick and goes well!
Ooh, thanks, meara -- your patio looks great! And you will find positive comments on Jupiter Ascending and McFarland USA in the movie thread, I believe.

I mean, probably, but if you can afford some significant time off, maybe worth it.
I moved a tree today. Owww... Much bending, much lifting, much digging.
I still haven’t taken a shower, but I had some food and spent a couple of hours doing work for my grad class (sitting on my patio, which is my favorite thing), and I think now I may have enough energy to do a few other odds and ends. I just got new patio chair cushions and need to set them up (and then cover them to protect from dogs). I also need to do laundry. We’ll see if I manage anything else. I should go to the gym. Not sure if that’s going to happen yet.
I see you are as bad as I am about taking "time off", Pix. But yay for studying on the patio. That actually sounds kind of lovely.
I am SO bad at taking time off. Unless I have a great video game. Then I’m a total addict and slacker extraordinaire. It’s my way of escaping from reality.
I walked downtown to get some exercise (it's a little over a mile) and get a salad at a new place. Pretty yummy. Now reading my kindle and still contemplating what movie. Thinking the Vietnamese one just because of timing--next Jupiter and McFarland aren't for a few hours. Though I could shop...hmm.
