Tell me about it! Even when I am working for myself at the bench, it seems like the day before I travel somewhere, every project I have to finish at the bench goes wrong or takes 5Xs as long to finish as it usually does.
Because you allow it to. Treat it like any other day. I haven't taken a vacation since the '90s and only get holidays off but I leave personal anticipation, anxieties, etc. outside the company and work concerns inside the company.
Well I am not taking a vacation anywhere. My wife is making me go to the Dr next week. I had an incident a few days ago. I had a leg cramp and attempted to get out of bed. I woke up a little bit later with my wife yelling my name and my head against the nightstand and blood everywhere. I have been sick since November in febuary they said I had pneumonia. I spent two months on steroids and antibiotics my Xrays show pneumonia is gone but I have a ton of pain under my ribs going all the way around my back and I still cant breathe very well. My pipe smoking is down to a bowl or two a day.
Please get that seen about. I've had pneumonia twice and they tell me it gets worse each time and takes longer to recover. Take care of yourself, bud. We old codgers have to take over this world at some point, and we need each and every one of ya.
Uh, your vacation is gong to be in a hospital. Get all that dealt with.
My vasectomy started as an “incident”.

You have to treat pneumonia with respect and more so if you are at lease 60 years of age. It isn't referred to as the "old man's friend" for no reason.
Because work kills your soul and body.
The perfect employee. CORPORATIONS ABOVE ALL
Ever seen a man on their death bed wish that they had worked more?
Because time gets thicker which make it feel longer. My job ain't bad I don't mind it. The whole week not in a hurry to get out of there. Friday I start feeling so not into it. It's the one time I start thinking "yeah it will be there later, it can wait"
For that matter, I don't think I've ever heard anyone wish that they had spent more time with their family.
When I am with my family, I think about how much I wish that I could get back to work. I really love what I do.
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues and I wish you a speedy recovery from them.
As for the last day of work sucking before a vacation break, it's probably due to the job feeling like a weight, maybe a meaningless dead end, or because of burnout.
An estimated 85% of people polled said that they either disliked or outright hated their jobs. That's a lot of stress. People make their own choices, some of which provide a much wanted element of predictability at the expense of fulfillment.
Personally, I chose to follow my bliss. I ultimately settled on a more commercial path for pursuing it. And though I've paid dearly for my choice, overall I'm happy with it.
