To just be bloody furious that the weekend is over and it's work again tomorrow?

Just that really. Booooo. Anyone else?

I only work part-time (in a job I enjoy) but I have small DC and the weekends are hard hard work. I'm usually relieved when the weekend is over and I get a bit of balance to my day.

Halfway through 10 day stint with 3 sleepovers here.

Hi standsongoldensands. I am the same. Promotion I had worked so hard for, and wanted so much, but feel a bit shat on now, and no support from above either. Have tried talking it thru with my line manager but he dropped in that I was only a pt manager as only 2direct reports (should be 3 but they won't approve recruitment ). That's not the job I applied for, was offered and have the job description for.

I did stop doing most of the old job stuff, but unfortunately, as it's sales, if I don't do it, no one else will, the teams sales are dropping, and as the manager I am held accountable. Rock and a hard place. Tried reorganising the team accordingly but one of them nearly quit.

My heart goes out to all the weekend and shift workers.

Respect x

I've loved my job for almost 20 years until about 2 months ago when I was promised a new project that I was so looking forward to, then yup you guessed it they replaced me with a bloke. I didn't even get to start before they put my less qualified colleague into it. I'm trying desperately to be supportive and generous to my colleague but tbh I feel like punching him in the head everytime he tells me how well he is doing. God, I've really got to get past the bitterness! but frankly I'm too pissed off and too bitter so now every time I'm at home I just want to stay here and never go to work again. Problem is I really really loved my job and really really want to get that feeling back!

If you hurry up you can get over to Australia, where we get Monday off for the queen's birthday.

How come you guys get the day off and we don't?

I've been at a BBQ this weekend but other than that it's been writing reports and gardening. It's not that I don't want to go to work, I just can't be arsed to get up.

Hi Billy, sorry to hear that.
I am trying not to care quite so much, if you see what I mean, on the basis that if I am really screwing up then someone will tell me and thus no news is good news .... It's so hard though, when you just want someone to say well done and give you a bit of encouragement. Must be even harder when you're picking up other people's work too.

Linski - that is outrageous ! What was their reasoning for taking it off you ? Surely that can't be justified ....

Work is good but a three day weekend would solve a lot of problems: day for housework, shopping, jobs; family day, visiting, children's activities etc; slobbing day to recharge batteries.
