I Believe Work Is For Work, Not For Home

I've realized I cannot work without my 2 days off. I've worked 7 days straight without a day off and more and more I have realized I am not well suited to the workaholic lifestyle. I already knew this but each time I end up putting myself in this predicament the lesson gets deeper. I did not know when I took on this job that includes holidays and weekends that the remembrance day holiday was me working 3 days instead of 2. With my other job that has me working 4 days (one of those days overlapping with the weekends/holidays job) this put me in a zero days off situation last week. What I learned this time from this is that my self care has to be raised to the maximum in this situation which basically turns into me working and sleeping and repeating. No time for hobbies or engaging in the joys of life. So now Im going to talk to my boss to explain this and see if its going to happen again in the future and see if I can avoid it. Not fun. Thanks for listening.
