You also need to take a day before and after off
“Now that I’ve tasted the blood, I crave it even more”
This is how I feel every time, so sad
You have to have a buffer day. It’s critical
who the fuck has time to relax during their vacation!? vacation is for finally doing all that shit you dont have time or energy to do otherwise. we’re talking about alotta stuff my friend
And the people at the office who ask you, “are you glad to be back?”
No, I’m not glad to be back you utter and complete fuckwit!
If you are tired after a vacation, try my recipe for a successful vacation.
I cruise a lot. There are times that me and my wife’s cruise vacation is something like this:
Get there:
eat, watch a show, sleep
Wake up, breakfast, nap, lunch, nap, dinner, show, sleep.
Repeat for 5 more days
Sometimes we sneak other short activities in between these very important itinerary items.
No thinking about food, cleaning, no internet. Its dark, quite, and air conditioned. Couldn’t be better.
Don’t forget poorer!
A staycation is relaxing. Turn off the phone when you go to bed so no one will wake you up so you can sleep as long as you want. Do the bare minimum of housework, basically just pick up after yourself so it doesn’t pile up. Don’t do any “projects” unless it’s something you enjoy doing. So fixing that fence can damn well wait. Read a book. Watch a mindless movie without a morale lesson. Binge watch a tv show you’ve been meaning to get around to. Don’t run errands for anyone. Eat out a lot so you don’t have to cook or do dishes.
Be a lazy, useless bastard for a week or two.
Same…
As somebody who struggled to find work for 4 years after leaving university, those 4 years were honestly the best 4 years of my life.
Since I got my current job, I’ve been able to save a deposit for a house and now I have a mortgage and everything like a proper adult, but I often wonder if selling the majority of my waking hours for it is actually worth it. I miss feeling like I actually own my time.

Yeah, if I dare to do something ridiculous, like getting sick for a week, I’m behind the 8 ball for about 2 weeks when I get back.
Then it wasn’t long enough a week or 2 isn’t a vacation with all the planning and effort that’s just more work
While I do absolutely agree, I will add that I originally read “vaccination” rather than “vacation” and thought this was the weirdest anti-vax post I’ve seen in a while!
This is why people come back to work “reinvigorated” . Vacation reminds you of life the way it should be and maybe could be if you grind a little bit harder.
Fr my time off just gives me a renewed hatred for wage slavery and a deeper conviction that I should NOT be wasting my life working
You might set aside part of your vacation fund to hire someone to do chores for you while you are gone. Hear me out. What if you came home to a clean house, laundry done, and your cars were washed and oil changed, how would you feel? Someone could meal prep for you, etc. OR do things to ease the transition, meal prep for when you get home, do laundry on vacation (or have it done, it is a vacation). Etc
What’s a vacation? *cries in american*
It almost feels like getting out of jail for a couple weeks and then having to go back
HOLY god yes this. I want to learn a new language, I want to be a part of that world I want out!
This sounds american
Amen to that!
My recently-retired step-dad mentioned something along the lines of this last time the family took a trip. He said how the trip we went on was the most relaxing trip he’s ever had because he wasn’t constantly dreading going back to work right after. He could’ve taken a few more days, and it wouldn’t have mattered to anyone but himself and his wallet.
Bragging that you can afford to take vacation.
I always try to take trips from Sunday to Saturday to have time on each end to take care of things which make the trip much more enjoyable.
That’s why I never go on vacation, so I don’t know how good it can be.
Becoming financially free lets you have the feeling of freedom every single day. Look into avenues to get out of the 9-5 and that will make life better.
this is why i don’t take vacations. well, that and i’ve never been able to afford to
You need to change your career then
Cool story, bro. Now get back to work. Mush mush
You might just be depressed?
No vacations for you. Problem solved.
