The worst part about Fridays? You only have 48 hours until you're back in the office chair, regretting your choices in life. That 48-hour break teases what life would be like if you didn't have work responsibilities, if we got to live for ourselves and not for the dollar… but we have to make light of the situation we find ourselves in. That's why it's important to laugh at the pain—it's easier to digest that way, and you might end up feeling much better.

With nice weather comes longer daylight hours, and I couldn't be more excited. The sun is still shining as I clock our at 5:30 PM sharp, so that's already a good omen that better day are coming. We just have to hold on tight and really feel the burnout until we get back on our feet. In no time, you'll be on PTO, sitting under a palm tree somewhere beautiful. Until then, let's look at humor based on our pain!

Employee burnout can only happen for so long until you decide to give yourself a much-needed break—approved or not. Regardless, there are always things outside of work to be grateful for. All it takes is a little soul-searching to find them!
