Does anyone else genuinely look forward to going to work, or am I in the minority?
I love the whole routine of getting up, having my shower, doing my hair and makeup, deciding what to wear and putting an outfit together. I enjoy getting dressed, looking presentable and feeling good about how I look. I actually look forward to choosing my clothes the night before sometimes!
I enjoy having somewhere to be, a reason to get up and get moving, a routine to my day and a bit of structure. I like having colleagues to chat to, a coffee, a bit of a laugh and the general buzz of being in a workplace.
And I genuinely enjoy the work itself. I like being challenged, learning new things, having responsibility, feeling competent at something and getting satisfaction from doing a job well. I like having my own professional identity.
Obviously there are days when I’m tired, stressed or would happily stay in my pyjamas, and I’m not pretending work is one big barrel of laughs!
But overall, I actually really like going to work. I enjoy having that separate part of my life.
Anyone else? Or am I just one of those strange people who enjoys Monday mornings? 😂
