Burnout

Every person at one time or another has experienced burnout. Whether it be at the workplace or at home, it can be a daunting task in itself. For each of us we have a job we either love or hate, and the long days and stressful times can cause us to feel like a patient in an insane asylum so to speak. Each of us has a boiling point and when it reaches critical one has to just duck and cover. We all have those days where you just want to call in sick, stay in bed and simply sleep the day away.

When a person reaches burnout, morning people can be annoying to the point of just pimp slapping them out. For they are just way too happy and it's not a good combination when burned out people and perky people cross paths. There can be no middle ground for the two groups, and no amount of negotiations will have either side reach a proposed agreement. It's like setting off World War 3 and the casualties will be high. One little spark could set off a chain reaction of sorts that can't be stopped.

But I digress, for each of us to come to a point of sluggishness. Looking up at the ceiling and pondering whether or not to go to work. It can be compared to my favorite movie Office Space where one day, the main character doesn't care anymore. It's every person's dream to do the things the main character had the cojones to do like ignoring his own boss completely. Saying what's on his mind which could fire any person fired. Though most of us haven't come to that point, it would be a dream come true.

Oftentimes we come to a point in a our lives where the job isn't fulfilling anymore. For we ask ourselves two simple questions. Do I continue to the job that I love doing but without the zeal that I once had? Or do I leave the job knowing that it will make me much happier in the future? It's like coming to a crossroads where there are two paths to choose, but there will always be a third path. Noone can say for sure, it is up to that person to figure out what he or she wants to do.

It's just a matter of taking time off, relaxing, and forgetting anything remotely related to work or home. Using one's time to his or her advantage and just resting mentally and physically. A rejuvenation of sorts for when that person returns, he or she will be a new person. For that grumpy and tired person that nobody wants to be around that once roamed the hall is now replaced with the cool, calm and collected laid back dude. In the end, nobody wants to get burned from a person that is feeling burnout.
