Annual Leave

In my employement guide, I have a total of 23 days of annual leave per year. I have been finding difficulty to clear the leave and as usual for the past 14 years, I have carried forward 10 days to following year. I remembered burning 20+ days some 10 years back because of an adjustment to the employement reference as I could not clear my leave in time before a new ruling takes effect.

Even on leave, if I am not going overseas or away to another place, I am being constantly disturbed in enjoying my own quiet moments to relax my mind from work. I do not think this is healthy and fair for myself, my loved ones or my true friends.

I do envy my colleagues who could just go for 10 days or two weeks break without being disturbed.

What has been the real reason for me for not being able to clear this leave entitlement ? I have been asking myself....my heart knows the reason but my brain keeps it secret. Thus my body continue to allow this unhealthy practices to continue.

I must work on a system to clear this "backlog" and next year, I will not repeat such a mistake anymore. I will put this is my personal KRAs.
