For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?
For me: aside from the usual family stuff:
I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)
It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.
Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss


Now take that discomfort and dial it up a few hundred percent, maybe throw some resulting body issues in there and being ill a week thereafter.
The point I am often trying to make is: the separate issues are sometimes easy to understand (and that’s good) but the resulting issues are underestimated because of this.
Please do not take this as a aggression to your valid post, but I often feel this needs to be added.
Me sharing my discomfort was not intended to discount yours. But in the same vain, don’t discount my feelings either.
Oh, nono. All fine! It was not meant that way.
However, vein. Scnr 🤣
