You suddenly have all the time you ever wanted to do all those projects and the choice is simply overwhelming. Plus, you have post-holiday depression, and you are probably still a bit jet-lagged... take it easy, do little bits and before you know it, you'll be back in the mix, inspiring us all again. Love the new banner, too!

And in the case of our dear blogger, hers is such that we must hope she finds a way to make the most of this time soon, as a bountiful offer is sure to land on her soon. (As so many have in the past, most often completely unbidden - oh what I wouldn't give to have been seriously "headhunted" myself, just once in my life!)<br /><br />And more tangentially, why is it only ever the snarky comments that get made Anonymously?

What would you like to tell people about what you did on your break, other than to talk about India? If your happy to say "nothing, I had a break" then continue as you are without the stress. If you want to say "I did all those things that I've had on my wish list..." then you have the starting point for organising your time.<br /><br />Alternatively, replace all of the "shoulds" with "need", "don't need to" or "want" to see if that changes your thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916656160171492526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-12399245659104965252010-09-21T11:21:43.387+10:002010-09-21T11:21:43.387+10:00The job market is tough - don't fool yourself ...The job market is tough - don't fool yourself that you'll get one easily.
