Hey #infosec people. If this is your weekend, take some time to do other things. Step away, knit, play with trains, go see a movie, whatever.
Burnout sucks, and we like you and want you around.

@siliconshecky appreciated, but wanted to share a quick counter - sometimes the day-to-day infosec isn't the *fun* part and you need a weekend to chase a dream (or diff OpenSSL versions); that's ok too, but keep a line between what is personal and what is professional (even if they build on each other); it's still not downtime, you should still get a vacation from both, but recognize that you might want both in your life and that they are separate.
@hdm totally understand where you are coming from. And yes sometimes tech is the fun downtime. I just don't want people to feel they need to do tech to recharge.
@siliconshecky absolutely agree! work is a drain, but sometimes the fix is different-work :)
