I love my life and job, but it can sometimes be draining.
Working long hours isn’t all that bad.
But, I have also learned to take a break. One time, when I was starting my career, I worked for 2 years without taking a break. The rewards were a promotion at work and a breakdown. The promotion meant I was the youngest person in the company to get a new position, but this came at a cost. I ended up in the hospital, and the doctor demanded I take a month off to relax. He recommended going away to some cabin away from technology and just chilling. That’s what I did, and I do that every year. Early this year, I went away to this amazing location with simple cabins. The rental office stated all the cabins were perfect accommodation with air conditioning. Since this area was getting warmer, I had to ensure that air conditioning was available in the cabin I booked. It took 6 hours to drive to the location. The key to the cabin was at the rental office; once I had it, I drove a few meters to it. Upon opening the door, the space looked amazing, but something was off. It seemed the AC unit wasn’t working because the cabin was dead silent. AC units emit a humming noise when working to cool a space. But, this cabin was so silent that I had to phone the rental office. A caretaker came to inspect, and after ascertaining the faulty AC, I was moved to another cabin with a working air conditioner.
