Nach dem Urlaub ist vor dem Urlaub 🏖️

According to a survey 45% of Germans find it difficult to return to the workplace after their holiday. Looking at our neighbours the numbers are not much different. Who would have thought that the Italians (38%), the Spanish (38%) and the French (41%) also suffer at the end of their holiday? The anticipation of the next holiday seems to most people to be a tried and tested means to dispel these cloudy thoughts – on average 27% of all respondents from all 15 countries surveyed dream of the next one after the end of a trip.

Seven signs that you should go on holiday:

• You think a half day means leaving at 5pm.
• You find that you need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living.
• You eat out of a vending machine and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.
• You think that progressing an action plan and calendarizing a project are acceptable English expressions.
• You know the people at the airport better than you know your neighbours.
• You ask your friends to think outside the box when making Friday-night plans.
• On Saturdays you get all excited because you can wear jeans and a T-shirt to work.
