The police ended up at every family function until they started hiring me. Unfortunately, they had a family death the last time I was on vacation and they desperately needed me provide a security presence at the funeral. I didn't answer even though my client called me tons of times. I felt bad about it but I would still do the same thing over again. It was absolutely nothing to do personally with my clients but more about restoring my sanity with some off time.
Sorry, it's a long-winded way of saying that I think it's about your T needing to have some true time off of work and not in anyway about you.

That makes me feel like I'm just a job. Like I'm a burden. It's not fair to give something to someone, and then take it away.
