I work a lot. I get paid for it. However, I get tired of it. It's washing dishes at a restaurant.

How do you cope with over-work?

I love my job and I am lucky that I can work from home, but some days it can feel like a chore. I tend to take some time out when it starts to get too much, so I do not get burned out. Unfortunately, this is not something you can do when you are hired to work a job so I can understand the burnout after a while.

I love my current job. I was getting to a point at my old job where going to work was becoming a chore. It wasn't just the actual work that was dragging me down, it was the people I worked with. Not all of them were terrible, but a good number of them were. They disrespected me and I felt like no matter what I was doing, I wasn't doing enough towards the end of my time there. So I was fed up with things and I put in applications and thankfully I got a job where I feel welcomed by everyone, and I love the tasks I have to do at work! I get praised for the work I do too! I do fear that burnout will get to me eventually, I think it happens to everyone. Currently though I'm not there yet. I hope I never get there with this job. This is the first time ever that I can say I truly love my job.

I go home and do stuff that restores a bit of my soul. No one likes to work, but we got to get it done.
