Pretty much same although i only got 1 week off and all thats in my head is a high likelihood of financial ruin or the fact that im gonna get hounded by the office cops for my incomplete q4 deliveries in the slop grinding mill where everyone acts like its totally normal to just be non stop grinding ourselves to death over fake deadlines. Lying in bed just utterly spent it really just all feels a bit hopeless especially when i have colleagues sitting around gloating about how many hours they pull to show off to the office police. Dreading going back. Dreading everything at the moment tbh
I'm sorry you feel that way, comrade, but I also don't think you're in the minority now. Like you said, no one in the west is feeling joy right now.
