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 management has given me the absolute ick and I just don’t want to be there anymore.

I don’t trust them, I don’t like them, I resent them and I hate that it’s become this little boys’ club. I just want out but haven’t managed to find a place with the same wage yet and I love my other coworkers.

Because DS2 (aged 15 months) has been waking up every two hours for the last few months and I’m exhausted… plus I’ve now got the cold that has kept him awake for the last few nights.

Between DS1 (aged 3) and DS2 I never get time for myself, and I’m sick of my stressful job being my ‘me time’… I love them and am so lucky to have them but god it’s relentless sometimes.

I took on a new role and fear I'm not up to it. I need the payrise to help pay for Dd at uni next year.

I'm old and fed up with working, the endless crap that gets put on us all for not extra pay. Same old stuff over and over, year after year it's relentless and I've had enough.

The weather's getting cold and damp and that makes me want to stay in bed.

I want to win the lottery.

I honestly just can't be fucked

Same here I can't be arsed although I have to. Can't stand being hit kicked verbally abused and have piss thrown at me constantly. All for bare minimum wage too

Morethanthis71 · 05/10/2025 16:23

I'm a teacher, I've worked for the past 5 weekends including this weekend, both days every weekend. My eyes are stinging from tiredness and I want to have time to tidy and clean my house.

Because our senior leader is awful. The type of person who prides themselves on being 'direct', but is actually rude, abrasive and unpleasant.

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.

So sorry.

popcornandpotatoes · 05/10/2025 16:20

Can't be arsed mainly. I had annual leave on Friday so no idea what is awaiting me when I log on tomorrow

Bellyblueboy · 05/10/2025 16:18

It’s incredibly busy and I am already behind and I am tired and stressed and just want to sleep.

laloue · 05/10/2025 16:18

Because I’ve got 5 shifts left until I leave and it’s dragging…plus I have to do a bunch of reviews and other stuff that just makes me want to growl. If I make it to the end of Saturday without losing it with a customer it’ll be a miracle!

arcticpandas · 05/10/2025 16:18

Because I don't have a job. I have to accompany my autistic DC to a special teen school for disabled teens/young adults praying that he will behave correctly so they agree to take him on...

So sorry to hear this ❤️

GuffyTheDustBuster · 05/10/2025 16:15

Because I think a project is about to go nuclear and its partially my fault.

Charlize43 · 05/10/2025 16:14

Because I'm a Trapeze artist with vertigo.

Ihateboris · 05/10/2025 16:14

Because I have massive, painful blisters on both feet 😭

101jobs · 05/10/2025 16:14

Because I hate working. Always have, always will.

TempestToo · 05/10/2025 16:12

Because I’m having a flare up of my chronic health problems, I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. And also because I’m waiting for the result of an investigation as I fucked up because I’m endlessly busy, tired and ill. Can someone go for me please!!

  • I've just started a good book and would like to read that
  • I would like to do some baking
  • there's not much food in the fridge so I won't be able to take a nice lunch
1984Winston · 05/10/2025 16:10

Because the atmosphere is horrible, feels like we are going under soon 😥

VaddaABeetch · 05/10/2025 16:09

I’m working since I was very young & im all done. There’s too much work & too little time.

Cerialkiller · 05/10/2025 16:08

I'd rather continue writing my novel but 'going to work' involves going downstairs and opening my laptop so it's difficult to avoid...

I am so sorry sorry. Treasure you last day and memories

YesJs · 05/10/2025 16:04

Because work is fine. But I just don’t want to work.

I want to potter. And listen to music. And play video games. And drink wine. And nap.

it’s not fair

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?

Don’t let it fester. Contact 111. UTIs are horrid x
