I have an essay to write
I would rather practice my piano
I don't want to work any more
I want to sit under a blanket and watch Netflix
I am so over this working for a living lark

Why else don't you want to go to work tomorrow?

because I have 5 12 hour shifts on the bounce. Sadly no choice

Because tomorrow is the last day with our ddog. She is getting pts on Tuesday... Kind customer has given my the afternoon off paid though.

Oh no I'm so sorry, that must be really hard x

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 05/10/2025 15:35

Because I’m done. The commute takes up to 2 hours each way. I’m too old to spend 13 hours out of the house doing a job that a monkey could do. My house is a bloody tip, as is my garden. I need a month off just to get everything sorted. Completely done. Where’s my lottery win???

MagicLoop · 05/10/2025 15:33

I have a bit of a cold and am not sleeping well.
I am part-way through a pile of written assessment marking that I don't think I'll manage to finish by tomorrow.
I'm lucky really though - I work in a lovely school with lovely colleagues and lovely kids.
Weather is disgusting. I wish I could take tomorrow off and finish my marking by the fire with a big pot of tea.

I'm so sorry about your ddog @Whereismyfleeceblanket - we had to have ours pts the weekend before last. The same weekend that dd went to study abroad for a year. I miss them both a lot.

People would think it was most odd as I am retired.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow because... I just don't want to. I've had enough of having to go to bloody work.

EchoedSilence · 05/10/2025 15:28

Because I hate getting up in the fucking dark.

DancingwiththeEuropeans · 05/10/2025 15:25

Because I have a UTI which was raging last night, subsided slightly today and I just can't tell what it will be like tomorrow, will I need to go and get antibiotics? Will I get any sleep tonight?

Hadenough2022 · 05/10/2025 15:24

I’ve been working for long enough now I think. I have had jobs of some form for 40 years surely that’s enough. I’m tired of it

istolethetalisker · 05/10/2025 15:24

I don't really feel like it
I'd rather read my book
I'd rather do a bit more of my craft project
I'd rather do some baking
It's quite hard work and there's lots of things that are both more interesting and less difficult

SnippySnappy · 05/10/2025 15:23

I have fresher's flu (as do all of my colleagues, courtesy of the incoming freshers!) and anything involving movement or thought feels like walking through treacle!

AhBiscuits · 05/10/2025 15:23

I have a stupid bullshit job that pays well enough but that is sucking my will to live. Same as the job I had before that. I don't want to work any more. It's all crap.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow because.....
I have been ill all weekend so haven't enjoyed my time off, I feel like I have been robbed of my days off !!!

I always feel the same when I am ill on a weekend. And I'm usually too busy to be ill during the week.

Gettingbysomehow · 05/10/2025 15:23

Because Im still done in from last week...nhs worker. I never seem to recover from the mental and physical exhaustion of it all.

Bringitonicancope · 05/10/2025 15:22

@Whereismyfleeceblanket

I'm so sorry about ddog..

So sad for you.

I honestly just can't be fucked

This for the win

NormasArse · 05/10/2025 15:21

… because I don’t have to; it’s my day off! 😃

ElleBelleLou · 05/10/2025 15:20

I don’t want to go to work tomorrow because I’ve spent all weekend moving house, my new house isn’t even remotely unpacked and I’m working a 12 hour shift - 14 hours out the house 😵😵

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 05/10/2025 15:20

I honestly just can't be fucked

SquirrelosaurusSoShiny · 05/10/2025 15:19

I'm coming down with something and feeling under the weather.

BCBird · 05/10/2025 15:17

GeorgeClooneyshouldhavemarriedme · 05/10/2025 15:09

Because I'm a teacher and tomorrow I'm taking dozens of excitable 9 year olds on a residential trip.

Help!!!!

I hear u OP. I feel your pain. Make sure you delegate to the other members of staff. In my experience, even though it's hard work, pupils usually enjoy themselves and behave. Get something nice for tea on the way home .

Whatsthatbrightlight · 05/10/2025 15:15

I don’t want to go to work tomorrow because…

my work is tedious
we have lost a few of our team who are not being replaced because, apparently, we can just absorb their work 🤦🏼‍♀️

LadyHexham · 05/10/2025 15:14

Because I'm rostered to work alongside a prat of a bloke tomorrow.

MidnightPatrol · 05/10/2025 15:14

Because I am heavily pregnant and everything is becoming very, very hard work…

justanotherm · 05/10/2025 15:14

Because it’s a long commute with a toddler and often stressful.
Because I have too much to do once I get to work and that’s stressful.
Because I’d rather have a day to myself to spend with DD, or read, or do Sudukos, or walk the dog, or watch junk TV and eat cake.
Can’t wait for retirement!
