Page 3 | I don't want to go to work tomorrow because.......

Because I cried in front of my male colleagues on Friday. Not once but twice. They were so sweet but didnt have a clue what to do and it was all very awkward. I feel quite embarrassed!

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

We are TB testing our cows. It's always stressful! The cows love their routine and continuity, so anything different is highly suspect. Although we've been clear of TB for as long as anyone working there can remember, we worry about getting a reactor. We like our cows to be in good health, and a TB positive test would also have far-reaching consequences for our farm (e.g. movement restrictions, even stricter regulations, etc.).

Given that we work long days on (i.e. the best part of a fortnight at once, with early starts and late finishes) in return for a few days off, I'd rather have peace, quiet and a much-needed lie-in! I also think that it is a shame that we spend the healthiest and most youthful years of our lives working, when I wish that I could spend time visiting places of interest and even just having time to get my house sorted out.

I feel tired. I can’t get enough sleep at the moment because there are too few hours in each day. I don’t think that’s down to my work, but it makes the mornings quite hard.

Because I’ve been off since MIL died 3 weeks ago, FiL spent half the 3 weeks in hospital with a suspected heart attack and DH & his siblings managed to have several ‘discussions’ around arrangements for the funeral that really upset him & his mental health has tanked.

Work were suppportive but I’d rather be home with DH, the cat & the dog.

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

Help!!!!

Been there, done that. So much sympathy and the very best of luck!

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 know how much work I need to get through 🙈😫

ThatWordDoesNotMeanWhatYouThinkItMeans · 05/10/2025 21:10

Because I'm doing a well-paid job which is ultimately pointless. I'm just a small cog in a large machine which really just makes disgustingly rich people even more disgustingly richer.
I'm closer to 60 than 50, I've been in this industry since I was 18, and I just can't be arsed anymore. I want to do something meaningful.
Plus I've had two ill-advised glasses of red wine, so will probably feel hungover for a week, and I have to get up at 5.30.

Because I'm a primary TA and the work I'm expected to do far exceeds my pay, but if I say no the kids lose out. There are no jobs around so I can't leave.
I want to stay home and bake, knit, crochet and read. I wish I could afford to retire, no chance of that for a long time to come.

I'm also a primary TA and, after over 20 years, I am exhausted. Apart from a few years when my DC were young, I have worked for 47 years. I would love to retire, but can't afford to until I reach state pension age.

Because I dont live to work, i work to live 🙃 wish I had a real life money tree then I could pursue all my hobbies! Most recently I've been sat in the normal rush hour traffic and genuinely thinking why? Why? Why? Is this really the meaning of life.....work to earn...pay all the shitty bills etc that life throws at me....Still left with debt

It's always boggled my mind how people are happy to waste hours in a week just commuting so they can sit in an office all day. I hear people say it gives them purpose.

YorkshireGoldDrinker · 05/10/2025 20:50

My line manager is a bucket of cringe and will force small talk while everyone mills in to a routine morning catchup. The job isn't what it used to be after a massive restructure two years ago and processes are changed or added more frequently than I change my underwear. The company is very small now so I can't really fade into the background without it being noticed. I'm due to go on maternity leave in March for my first baby, so hopefully I can take a break from them for a while.

Lovelanguage · 05/10/2025 20:50

Because I'm leaving & my boss is being an absolute cow to me since I resigned

I dont want to go to work tomorrow because,yesterday i unboxed my new tv and dvd player, i would like to sit and watch the tv and dvds but sadly its off to work i go 😊

Handbagcuriosity · 05/10/2025 20:46

Cos there are brighter sides to life and I should know because I’ve seen them, oh but not often

Mummyof3Me2021 · 05/10/2025 20:45

I dont want to work tomorrow because I am sick of the treadmill of capitalism!

SusanChurchouse · 05/10/2025 20:42

Because it’s my birthday tomorrow :D

In fairness I’m not actually going to work tomorrow because I’m doing a phased return after a long sick absence for cancer treatment. But I wouldn’t want to go if I had to!

AgualusasL0ver · 05/10/2025 20:42

SparklyBrickViper · 05/10/2025 19:08

Because it will be Monday and a whole new week stretches ahead.

I’ve made the worst decision of my working life accepting this job, and I feel physically sick thinking about another week of battling people who don’t want me there and are waiting for me to fail.

Only another four months before I can move to another post and put this nightmare behind me.

I had about 6 months left, but have cut my losses.

Financially I am precarious if I don't get something almost immediately, but I could not take it anymore.

Livelovebehappy · 05/10/2025 20:42

Because I’m mid 50s and I’m tired. I’m winding down to retirement already

YesJs · 05/10/2025 20:38

AngelinaFibres · 05/10/2025 18:27

I am 60 and retired. I was a Primary teacher. It will never , ever not be a total joy to me that I don't have to go to work ever again. My 2 grandchildren ( 3.5 years and 20 months) will be dropped off by my DIL at 7.15 tomorrow and we will have a fabulous day doing jolly things.

Oof, I’d much rather be at work than look after two toddlers all day!

TigerBreadFan · 05/10/2025 20:36

Lolabear38 · 05/10/2025 20:12

Because I’m always either at work or looking after my children (love them very much, obviously). They’ll be at school tomorrow and I would love to just have some time in the house alone so I could relax and do whatever I want to do without hearing my name called every 1.4 seconds.

I’m a teacher and a parent so I always feel like this. Small children always want me for something!

TempleOfShrooms · 05/10/2025 20:36

I'm in the office 5 days a week and I already feel like my social battery is drained

Jamfirstest · 05/10/2025 20:26

Because lots of people are on leave and I want to hide. This job isn’t what I agreed to. I’m knackered.

WinchSparkle80 · 05/10/2025 20:23

because am getting a puppy on Thursday and want to tidy and organise and clean.

ItsNotYou852 · 05/10/2025 20:19

Because I do a crap job for crap pay, and do my best to make it successful and yet it goes very under appreciated.
Plus I'm 64 and should have been retired by now!

Odiebay · 05/10/2025 20:18

Because one of the people I manage is rude to me all the time. Even my manager has noticed and over than the excuse "I'm tired" has done nothing. Making everything hard work!
