December always feels like a high stress month and I just want to be able to look forward to the holidays. I used to work as a contractor employee for this company, so I never got the week after Christmas off they always get. Now that I work for the company itself and was told prior to being hired about having those days off, little did I know I still have to work those days in my department since I'm salaried. I'm also just stressed and worn down by the current workload. Who else experiences a similar pain around this time of year?
