How did the first day of normal resumption of duties go?

Depressed! 

I am so ready for a major step down and desperately need a change in my exhausting and life sapping routine. The break this festive period really Brought it home to me.

I took several days off over Xmas and appreciated all the things i cannot do because of the necessary evil that work can be.

It's not just the fact of the daily grind,  it's also the inability to choose that gets me down these days. 

Anyone out there similar?

Anyone downscaled? Changed jobs? Retired early? Gone part time? Become a sex worker!
