I had this same frame of mind last year. I didn't do shit in 2025 and I was lazy sack of shit. I'm quitting alcohol now and not in the new year. I am making changes.

That stopdrinking comm’s mantra is “just for today I’m not drinking” or something like it. It’s a good mantra. You got this!

May as well, already had my eval for 2025, why would I do any extra work until I get my 2026 goals since that's the only thing that determines raises/bonuses.

I guess there are two types of approach to this season, the "yay, nothing is getting done in the next three weeks" and the "oh, crap, nothing is getting done in the next three weeks".

I am, unfortunately, in the latter camp.

Circle back in the new year

God I wish. Christmas is my busy time.

I feel you there. We're currently in a slow point, even our competitors are feeling it, but once we're within the 5 day Christmas window? Say goodbye to lunches or being off on time. The bakery is about to be in riot mode, potentially quite literally.

That sounds maddening! Best of luck keeping your head above water.

Yup same here, where I work it's busy from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Pretty much anyone connected to online / mail order / holiday shopping/selling / shipping industries have no free time right now.

Okay, back to work :P

I've still got 1 minute left of lunch. :(

Thursday is when my Christmas holiday starts. Then I can do the same thing

God I wish, my backlog for the last 4 days just hit 26 items, If nothing else happened, I could have them done by the Friday after next :(

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I’ve the next three weeks off, and a living room that is in disrepair. I may not get it finished before the new year, but I’m going down swinging!

Confused, full of cheese, unsure of the day of the week

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Got a handful of easy wins left for work that weren't a big enough priority to do at any point else in the year, have to do my part of my yearly review, still have some decorating to do, and gifts to wrap... so more like "in the next two weeks" for me. Would kill to have a whole three weeks without shit to worry about.
