As someone retired not by choice, this hits me hard.
Agreed. Work has never felt fulfilling for me.This doesn't happen to me at all. It never happened to me when I was on summer break and it doesn't happen to me when I take vacation now. This comic depicts a sad state of existence that I want no part of.

The point is not that work is fulfilling. Fun is "fun" because it is not work and because work limits how much "fun" you can have. But "fun" is less meaningful if you weren't constrained in the first place.

Agreed with you both.
Nah. As someone who went on a several-years-long sabbatical, I was fine and I actually miss those days.If you didn't have school or you didn't have work, you would find summer break and vacation less fun.
If you miss those days, you found the fun in those days meaningful because your current work is less fun than those days. You wouldn't be missing it if you continued your sabbatical, right?Agreed with you both.

What? I enjoyed those days because I wasn't working.If you miss those days, you found the fun in those days meaningful because your current work is less fun than those days. You wouldn't be missing it if you continued your sabbatical, right?
The point of the comic is that you enjoy breaks because it is freedom from work. But if you never have the experience of work/school that puts those constraints on you, you would not enjoy it as much.What? I enjoyed those days because I wasn't working.
I wouldn't be "missing" those days but that's because I'd be living those days....
Went from knowing nothing about Nancy to now thinking Nancy rules. Thanks, ERA.
You just ruined Nancy, congratulations.
<said in a hushed voice> I liked it!
It's a funny comic and I'm sure some people agree with it but not everyone. Trying to argue with someone about why they enjoyed a period of their life is weird because you're just not going to win that argument. It's like trying to argue that someone actually likes the taste of a specific food when they're telling you they don't.If you miss those days, you found the fun in those days meaningful because your current work is less fun than those days. You wouldn't be missing it if you continued your sabbatical, right?
Holy shit.
I'm with you there. So never want my time off to endi know a lot of people who are like that so i understand this comic, still funny!
But that doesn't apply at all to me, i have tons of things to do and enjoy it more while i'm on loooong breaks! the shorter the break is, the less fun i have cause i feel like i'm in a hurry to do what i like before the break is over
i hate working, lol
