God, I always dread going back to work on mondays. Does anyone else get like this? How do you get past feeling this way? At work it has been so stressful and we have been working short staffed. You just get burned out. I feel like I need a vacation but the boss isnt able to give anyone days off because we are so busy and short on help these days . I wanted to call in so bad this morning but everything will be there tomorrow waiting on me so I didnt. Oh well...here goes another monday.see ya!!
MONDAYS

Mondays rot!! I've always had that feeling about Mondays--just hate starting the work week. On the other hand, lately I have been dreading going to my job *every* day of the week--like you, we're ridiculously busy and my job has become extremely stressful. The one thing that has helped me is that I am actively looking for a new job, if not a new career. I don't mind being busy--I don't mind short-term stress--but enough is enough.
Otherwise, what helps me get through MOndays is just getting right into working and not procrastinating. Once I'm involved in getting the actual work done, it's not as bad.

I'm right there with you, Laura and Bunbun. My job is good, but there is just so MUCH of it. 5 long days, and sometimes weekends too. I find myself looking forward to retirement a lot, but that's too far off, and I need to learn to live for the present. It's so hard though. I try to fit in other things I love, but then I wind up missing sleep, and that just makes everything worse. Unfortunately, I do seem to need a lot of sleep.

Oh man Mondays are my most dreaded day of the week. I work for local govmt & our council mtgs are every Monday night--the d*mn things go til like midnight. So I spend all day Sunday dreading Monday. It sucks!
I still can't figure out if it's better to get this thing over with the first day of the week--leaving me exhausted for the rest of the week but at least it's done--or doing it later in the week, in which case I'd have to dread it a little longer but at least I'm not completely wiped out by Tuesday. x(

OK, that really rots! Lately I've been exhausted all the time after work. Mental and physical, I think.
Anyhow, there was a great movie called Office Space that was a satire on working, and one of the lines I love from it (said by a perpetually perky and cheery type to one of her crabby co-workers on a Monday) was, "Someone's got a case of the Mundays!" You just wanted to empty the contents of your in-box right on her desk.
