Today is an unscheduled day off from work. After the last month of sheer hectic barely controlled madness at my workplace, my team and I are winding down and we’ll see a return to normality after this next week. However, the stress from all this has finally taken its toll on me and I’ve barely kept a hold of my humanity, almost caring more about the job than the people. Very scary for me to say the least. I cherish the people I work with and I’ve had to do some serious soul-searching to find where I can improve my mindframe and attitudes so that I don’t alienate and turn away others due to words and actions. At anyone’s profession, even when the worst is over, you can still feel a “residual backlash” of previously endured stress and it can make you very jumpy and snappish. The point of all this: take a break for a day, relax, and re-assess your priorities and feelings towards others. Come back to the job with a clearer perspective. You’ll be the better for it!
