Britney Spears once said “you better work bitch!” and here we are complying. But sometimes you need to take a major breather, even if you love your job. Here are 8 symptoms that you need a vacation from work to recharge and regain your motivation ASAP.
1. You’re constantly checking the calendar for upcoming days off
Zakroune aymta l eid hal sene?
2. You keep calculating how many annual leave days you have remaining
Iza elna henne 15 yom w ana sert ghaybe hal2ad, adde byeb2ale? Blahe2 sefir ya3ne?
3. You keep reminding your co-workers that ma 3am ye2ta3 el wa2et lyom
But your coworkers respond with “no bel 3akes ktir 3am bye2ta3 bser3a el nhar, ma 7assayna fi”
4. Your favorite work snack is no longer working its wonders
Cheetos doesn’t comfort you anymore and the double long espresso has failed to re-energize you.
5. Your “focus” music isn’t helping you focus
And to think you spent so much time and effort compiling the perfect playlist…
6. You’re snoozing your way through meetings
You’ve mastered the art of nodding and sleeping with your eyes open.
7. You thought about day-drinking more than once
Will people notice if I switch my coffee with whiskey in my portable mug?
8. You’re losing track of all the emails you did or didn’t send
– “As per your last email, we decided to go with this idea but change the execution.”
– “Lahza ayya idea? W ayya email?”
– “Chou beke you sent it on Friday, we worked on it together!”
– *blank silence*
