I am indecisive, and it agonizes me.
I can't decide.
My work gives me 2 weeks off for Christmas/New Year's. It's custom that I extend it to 3-weeks by taking an extra week off.
I can't decide, should I take off the week before, or the week after?
My B-day is the week before. Missing work on my B-day means I don't have to bring treats for my co-workers (my work culture is the person having the B-day brings treats for everybody else, kind of the opposite of what you'd expect, but that's how it works here).
There is a free luncheon I'd miss if I take the week after. I'm an introvert so I really don't mind to miss it. In fact, in a way I would rather miss it, but at the same time I feel like it's good to put in some face time since I normally hide away in my cave all day. I usually feel good that I put in the face time if I do it. I've worked here 13yrs, sometimes wonder if people even know my name.
The week before might be more hectic because Christmas season. The week after might be more calm as everything returns to normal. Although not sure that matters since I probably won't leave the house much. Then there's the slight feeling of being uncomfortable returning to work when I've been out a long time, which I would probably feel a bit if I take the week after. I probably won't feel that if I return to work the same day as everyone else.
