    I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.

    Hate to add to the grumble but I’m not feeling it this year. I don’t really want more material things (boo!).

        For me it’s all the stress at work around the holidays (work harder before/after) then being invited to a ton of social things (I work from home and I’m happy for the most part being alone all the time). I actually love my job too so it’s more annoying than anything that everyone is in la-la land while I’m just wanting to get stuff done.

        I hate showing up like a clown and not connecting with anyone; it’s all so fucking corny. I guess that’s married life though.
