re: I'm so fricking tired......just tired.

Right there with you man. 450 hours of PTO and too busy to take it. Burnout is a real thing. Sometimes i think about the struggles of the early pioneers but wonder if that life was so bad?

The one benefit it had was those people did not have time to spend all day inside their own heads...they were too damned busy living to worry about living.

I know two old boys who made a living about as hard as it can be made in modern America. One dug ditches....$1 a foot for one inch PVC water lines. The other was a pulp wooder. Both of them were, seemingly, happy as larks and lived into their late 80s and were healthy until they killed over. Why, with such "shitty" jobs? They were tired when they weren't working....they were to busy living to worry about living. Neither one of them ever traveled more than 500 miles from where they leapt out of their mamas as far as I know. They spent what little time off they had tinkering with equipment and keeping their houses up.
