Working all the way up until Christmas

i opted to take everyday (aside from the bank holidays) to work so that I could have the leave to take a holiday in February.

but oh my god I’m struggling now. All I want is a decent chunk of time off like everyone else in my office but I don’t get it.

AIBU to ask for ways to motivate myself to get through it?!

As someone who worked every day over Christmas when I was in an office, I just thought that other people, perhaps with little kids or family who might not see next Christmas get to make special memories.

Also promised myself lots of drink and chocolate on Christmas Day

Next year why not book at least a day or so to extend your Christmas break. Sadly this does not solve the issue for this year. February will soon be here and hopefully you can have a decent break from work.
