Days off? Not really

Broadcasting is a 24/7 365(6) industry. I've been in it long enough to get used to working holidays, weekends and be ready to work at a moment's notice.

I'm tired.

It's especially annoying when I'm on a hard deadline and I still need stuff from people who regularly request things at the last minute or on a Friday after 5 PM or at the beginning of a long weekend.

I'm tired.

Working remotely has been helpful: the coffee is better, the bathrooms are closer (with my IBS flaring that's very important) and if I want to nap after lunch nobody's going to mind.

I'm tired.

Working from home helps since my housemate has needed care after several surgeries. They're mostly recovered but they still need help with things.

I'm tired.

I really should seriously consider retiring soon.
