LPT: Take time off when you feel like it.

Reply to comment by schnager in LPT: If you’re worried about visible pit sweat, try putting panty liners (thin pads) on the inside of your shirt to absorb it and prevent it from leaking through. Thin, absorbent, soft, flexible, disposable, cheap. by MaybeIShouldntPostIt
If you have a chronic problem that makes you feel shame and insecurity that sticking a panty liner in the sleeve of your blouse works to solve, then it’s not wasteful, but useful and helpful.
Do you shame the diabetic for their need to use single use syringes for insulin? Or the person with a colostomy their need to use a bag to catch waste? How about the little kid who scraped their knee and needs a Band-Aid to keep it clean?
The person is ALWAYS more important than some convoluted guilt trip about the environment.

Would change this to low level office job, if you have any level of responsibility then taking time off when it's less busy is less stressful.

I think you have that backwards ... Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Ultimately, you will be caught off-guard far less, and end up "scrambling" far less often.

I disagree. Conflict is too complex to simply analyze statements made to determine guilt. Is this an example of some bible concept? Because, it has a do unto others vibe

I did this for years. The period between Xmas and New Year's especially was always dead, and you could spend your days in the office, coming in late, surfing the web, watching movies, even going out to do a bit of shopping.
With kids though, it's just not worth it. For a start i want to spend some time with them when they're not at school. But even working from home, you have this "thing" hanging over you when you know you're supposed to be working but the kids want to sit and play the Switch instead.
Taking the time off is a psychological break as much as a physical one.

Taking time off around the holidays when things are slower is much better for me, because I can actually relax and not stress out about all the piled up work that I’m falling behind on.

Agreed! You make your own luck (at least more often than not).

My old cat used to do this until she was put on daily meloxicam for arthritis. It 100% fixed the problem.

I had to make the choice to help my 16 year old girl cross the bridge a couple of years ago.
She was much the same as yours, lost weight, lots of yowling, not sure where she was, losing her sight, going to the toilet in my bedroom because she felt safe there etc.
If you look at your kitty, and can't really see any of their personality that you remember anymore, then it's time.

It takes some mental work if you were raised in hustle culture, but it's worth it. It took me 8 years and I'm proud to say that I can happily leave my work at scheduled time regardless of what's going on there and enjoy rest of my day care free. I'm not yet at the "don't give a shit about anything as long as they pay me" level, but maybe one day I'll get there.
It took me a long time, so I advice each and every one of you - start now. And start small. Scheduled turn off your work phone/email is a good beginning to a journey of letting go :)

I didn't say bad things were done. There are of course two sides. I'm saying you will hear worse things about the person who doesn't speak ill of the other. This is obvious but not always considered.

My cat did this. It was hyperthyroidism. There's a medication you put in their ear that helped a lot. I hope your cat gets better!

I was the only person in a 5 person team working yesterday. Turned on laptop, logged in and went back to sleep 👌
