    we had a meeting with my coworkers a while back and one of them made a good point
    since i do design, my tasks are not daily tasks like theirs are i.e. customer correspondence but the stuff i do is more project types, so it's more irregular
    coming off from doing 2 major projects i'm a bit like ~_~ i need a break tbh..

@pachi:
Oh are you a UX Designer then?
Yea you get those same weird gaps I do then as requirements come in for things. And weirdly busy times too. It's not the best but it's not wholly avoidable either.

LOL that's fair. I totally get that. The main reason I'm getting burnt out so bad on my current team is because the management is trying to push us to move fast and the product is not so polished as a result and it drives me insane.

I'm planning on taking two weeks in September after our upcoming release. I need to take an actual break from burn out. Staycations are my jam usually anyway.

And have time to job hunt because I'm tired of this crap looool.

My company does all our yearly performance reviews at the same time at the end of the year. If I'm still around by then or haven't changed teams I'm gonna die a little.

Yea. I want to do some big trips once all the restictions are able to be lifted but until then I don't really see the point.

I'm also worrying about the holidays in general this year. I don't really like having to go visit my family normally and I extra don't want to have to go with the pandemic still going on and I knoooow they're going to pressure me about it because they've been doing camping trips and everything already so they're not going to understand why I might not feel comfortable with coming home for the holidays atm.

nice take that time off !! i think the weather will be really nice in september so i’m thinking of doing it then too

and oof i’m sorry to hear that, i hope you can find a better position by then!
i do feel quite fortunate to be in the position of being able to work remotely and get a paycheck despite everything
but burnout is so real and it does really weigh on u to be feeling unfulfilled doing something that takes up most of ur time :-/

Saaaaaame on having my shit together enough to go traveling this year! I've had a huge mental block around the planning and everything necessary to go places and I was really hoping to get to do more this year and push myself past it but noooope.

haha i feel that! i was supposed to go on my first real like Vacation Trip w a friend back in march and it was right on the brink of stuff getting bad
it was good we canceled tho cuz shit really hit the fan during the time we would have been overseas

it does make me kind of sad that it will be quite some time before we can comfortably travel again :-(
