So, it's back to business...

Wouldbe · 2nd-January-2007, 06:22 PM

Maybe there's a thread on this already, but on a surface search I couldn't find one.

If, like me, you'd like to share with the world your frustration at being back at work already, please express this below in any way (publishable) you deem appropriate.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!

How the bloomin' 'ell has it got round to that time already? All those depressing Sunday- evening feelings will be coming back to haunt and I'm gonna have to think up a whole load of new hiding places around work for avoiding the boss!

And I don't wanna hear from you smug people who haven't started back yet, or have been on exciting holidays somewhere and have some downtime before it's back to work.
THIS IS A SPACE FOR A GOOD GRIPE!

There, I feel so much better already!

Could be worse, I was working over New Year and have two night shifts starting from tomorrow. I have little sympathy for those who complain about only having Xmas and New Year off

I wouldn't dream of gloating and telling you i return back to work next Tuesday.

Thanks hun - that has made me feel better - so glad it is not just me THAT HATES MY JOB *in a very loud shouting voice* And breathe! There - now any one for choccies to make themselves feel better?

**Double Trouble** · 2nd-January-2007, 08:23 PM

It's not so much my job that I hate. Its the prospect of getting myself and my three kids up at 6 tomorrow morning, when we have all been used to having a nice lie in until 9 or 10am every day for the last 2 weeks.

Even though I have laid out all their school uniform next to their beds...i just know they will still take an hour to put on one sock....the wrong way round.

I'm not looking forward to my next pay slip either.....two weeks unpaid leave to look after the kids is going to make my eyes bleed.....God knows what I will do during the 6 weeks summer holidays

Has anyone got a blunt spoon?....I would like to poke myself in the eye with it.

Yep, it was the getting up in the dark this morning that was the depressing bit.

But we all paced ourselves in work today and while I got on with things, it felt more of a easing back in, than plunging straight into really busy, I think because a lot of our staff are still off.

It was nice to see work colleagues again - I work with some lovely people.

you can borrow my blunt fork that wasn't blunt when i started stabbing myself in the head with it this morning.

Back to work, hassle hassle hassle, it would be alright if i didn't have staff, pains in the ass that most of them are or in the head as i have been self stabbing all day.

oooh ooh ooooohh and oooooooooooooh i just realised i have my credit card bill to look forward too

back in Cameroon now... I guess I should be happy having spent a brilliant holiday and having (finally) danced... only 3 weeks to go before being back to Scotland... and the Paris WCS and Southport week-ends to look forward to...
yet it's desperately hot and boring in here ... sounds like those 3 weeks will be looooooooooong...

too hot (35 deg today) isn't that nice really when it there's the hamattan (sort of fog made of dust/sand from the Sahara, see wiki) that makes poor visibility (can't see a km away yet the sun

) and irritates your throat and lungs. And when it's not that then it's dead humid - humid heat isn't that great either.
oh and it's freezing cold in the office since they put AC at full capacity. I even need a jumper, how stupid is that?

do I get sympathy now?

Yeah, I look at the photo on your profile and I'm just overwhelmed with - well, it's not sympathy, anyway!!

that picture was taken in Egypt a couple of years ago

OK, I give in. You can have some sympathy.

By the way (believing the photo to be related to your current location) what I was overwhelmed with was envy. I can't imagine what you were thinking, but I'm sure I disapprove...

**stewart38** · 3rd-January-2007, 03:51 PM

It’s the time of year when the Daily Mail the CBI or who ever say that we are losing £32 Billion (I exaggerate) of business because people are taking longer off etc going back later to work etc etc ie 8th Jan etc

Of course its all *******s 90% will be using their holiday entitlement anyway

Seems to me people work more then ever

My bosses boss seems to enjoy sending e-mail at 7am on Sundays and wouldn’t been seen dead without a blackberry on the beach on ‘holiday’ , he has wife and 2 kids

Maybe as he is 6 months younger then me and is my bosses boss that’s the life style he chooses

I do f*** A** at work but still score above average because I produce the results require for my level of work

Ill still choose to sleep at 7am on Sunday rather then send work e-mails.

Now where is my next holiday going to be
