I'm getting a bit of flack for being a bit socially distant in a different way at the moment. When my mental energy is a bit low I can't be fussed with social gatherings and I get a lot of comments along the lines of " you miserable git" and "whats wrong, did we do something to upset you" etc etc. Sometimes I just need a bit of space without all the bollocks of being around other people and just take some time out for myself. Which is something I very rarely get to do due to working in an activities based customer environment and being the manager as well means all roads tend to lead to Rome or @scubahead.
For years in my line of work I'm front line engaged personally with all the guests and when all is going well and even if it's super busy you still get a real buzz out of it. It can also from time to time be very mentally draining.
I'm finding that with it being so slow the personal interaction is actually very draining. Very. I sometimes feel like those Dementors from harry potter are sucking my soul out. So recently I ducked out of a couple of social invitations that were well meant and everything but not something I really need right now. The last thing I want to do is stretch my day out longer than usual and make myself tired and have to be all social. Fuck that. I need a time out from people occasionally and I'm damned if I am going to feel bad about as I need to keep my head in a positive place as it looks as though we have a long road ahead with all the restrictions etc. So I need my personal recharge time.
Man I need coffee this morning. Ok peeps that's my morning offload done, well one of them but the other one wouldn't make good reading 😉
Stay safe out there wherever you are on the planet, take care
