Somewhat dismaying as well, of course, as it reminds me of the vistas I should be contemplating. I do sleep very exhausted and long sleeps - mentally my work is not very challenging, there is just too much of it. I really don't much plan my life ahead, have not up to know, and somehow just assumed that this is just a phase (where I play middle class life), but I am now somewhat alarmed at my tiredness: this is the time that new decisions should be made, but I might not be up to that at the moment. Well, we'll see.stockholm slenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909107517362691387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13588125.post-1129032985626577902005-10-11T15:16:00.000+03:002005-10-11T15:16:00.000+03:00How do you cope with being overburdened by your wo...How do you cope with being overburdened by your work? Can you still think of stuff that isn't work-related when you aren't working? How's your sleep?<BR/><BR/>As a literature person, I've always been interested in the question whether people who work hard, maybe too much, actually read such fiction where the characters work all the time or even literary descriptions of burnout? If you ever do, even by accident, does reading such a book make you feel more discontented with your work or does it have a soothing effect as books somehow related to your life sometimes do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
