Signs of Job Burnout

You're so tired, you now answer the phone with, "Go to @!&L."

Your friends call to ask how you've been, and you scream, "Stop asking me all these @!&N questions!"

Your garbage can is your "IN" box.

You wake up to discover your house is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care.

You consider a 40-hour week a vacation.

Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday.

You don't set your alarm anymore because you know your pager will go off before your alarm does.

You leave for a party and instinctively bring your ID badge.

Your DayTimer/WorkPlanner exploded a week ago.

You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now :eek:

I'm creeped out because this describes my life lately almost to a T. Although I don't really have a bad attitude about it, I'm glad to be paying off my debt.

Trust me, I don't really answer the phone like that and respond
To questions from friends like that! It was just a joke. Although
It is a good description of my days several years ago:p

Now my screen name better describes my situation. I'm going to find
Another job. Retired to early. Overworked is better than bored stiff!!

I agree. I've learned so much from working my bum bum off than when I was a couch carrot, as you say!
