Jul. 9th, 2012 05:45 pmThere are a number of things that leave me simply worn out.
Dealing with people is one of these. Especially if it's a lot of people, or unfamiliar ones, or about certain topics.
Commerce is another, especially the offline kinds.
Large amounts of driving, especially under any kind of adverse condition.
I am not certain, but I suspect that employment should be on the list. It's been quite some time since I had a job that didn't have a lengthy commute during rush hour, or involve dealing with large numbers of unfamiliar people.
There are things I can do to reduce the effect of some of these. For instance, shopping is much less tiring if I know, pretty exactly, what I want and where to find it. This is one reason I am much more satisfied with what I pick for people's gifts if I have opportunity and means to do so well in advance. (See also: my shopping tendencies, which involve "see it, leave, maybe do some research; repeat at least once; on a separate trip, buy." By and large, anyway.)
