Crippling back-to-work dread

[grassbath]

Why? Why, when I know rationally based on many previous experiences that I will arrive in the office tomorrow, say some words to some other humans and quickly fall back into routine and feel basically completely ok? Why am I stricken tonight with pure gnawing terror and considering jacking it all in?

[touchingcloth]

You killed a colleague on Friday, didn't you? Silly boy, what did you expect would happen tomorrow?

[gib]

Select a colleague to fantasise about, that'll get you up in the morning with a spring in your step.

A daily occurrence. We could just stop and live in a dell tending livestock

I've got the fear but I've been on the piss all weekend so that's just the breaks innit.

I might have a problem at work and I don't know what to do about it. But I'm trying not to think about it right now, that's another thread for another day.

[Glebe]

Hugs and that grassbath. Hope it all works out.

Mondays is my days off.  Sundays has become the new Fridays.  Imagine that.

When my time to do what I want (mostly tidying, restocking and preparing for the next week of work) is up, I think about how easy it's going to be.  What a fucking walk in the park.  The mountains I will chop right down with the edge of my hand.  Bring it on if it thinks it's hard enough, I say to myself.  Seems to work.  Chin up old grassbath.  You're more than a match.

Don't lead with it, the chin though.  Up but not leading, that's my advice.

we're wasting our lives doing dull and alienating jobs (except for the happy few I suppose, but even them seem to believe that work is a value to be cherished). it would be time for the critique of the social division of labour to return to the agenda, and not just those (mostly meaningless) universal income promises.

anyway, I hope you'll get through it op.

[Butchers Blind]

Not sure how old you are grassbath but retirement is 67 so there's that to look forward to.

[Bazooka]

Just blow up your boss, problem over.

Were you one for not doing your weekend homework as a child? If so it could be residual dread of having to go to school on Monday morning knowing you were going to get a bollocking, trying to get your excuses ready but knowing they weren't going to work. 

[Buelligan]

I never did my homework (or classwork) the whole time I was at school.  I didn't worry about excuses, I had already established my brand.  I am not even lying.

[Cuellar]

Everyone feels this way because every job is pointless and you're just wasting your life

[Lord Mandrake]

Become a paramedic, they love it.

You'd have to be genuinely sick in the head to enjoy your job.

unless it's a blow job.

Always the same after hammering the booze at the weekend.
Work really fucks up drinking patterns.
