Dull Men's Club

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

People need to realize this. I did as a manager in my last position.
People (and management too, stupidly) think that they need to always be on and there but no, everyone needs a break. You’re actually useless if you overwork yourself. The business legit will do worse if you show up without having taken a break.
For your and the business’s sake, take time off often. Do whatever you want. You don’t have to travel to a far off country for a vacation. I took a week off after my birthday and just spent it at home, relaxing and waking up late. It was wonderful.
Everyone needs to take their time.
I’m very thankful to my boss and the company I work for. They will actually get on you for not taking time off. My boss even started not letting us use our PTO for unexpected time off we take, even though we’re supposed to. So I’ve been having time accumulate and just took the entire week to myself.
Not only that, it also helps others (and yourself) see the value you bring in your absence. “Oh shoot, who’s going to do that? Who knows how to do that?”
Glad you got your time, OP! Hopefully it helped you out a lot.
