Because I need time off life to concentrate on work but it doesn't work like that

I hate it.

It makes me want to cry.

Someone else has resigned and I will have to pick their work up.

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!!!!

Yes this

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 05/10/2025 15:10

Because I'm tired, I have my end of year review this week and I've not prepared for it.

But I just can't be bothered with work, I mean it's not like I'd do anything else if I wasn't working but I'm feeling really unfulfilled with work at the moment and I've lost my mojo. Not sure that would go down well in my end of year review though.

TragicMuse · 05/10/2025 15:11

Because I have to read 200 pages of a book by Thursday and I need the time.

thisishowloween · 05/10/2025 15:12

Because I work outdoors and the forecast is absolutely foul 😩

Idstillratherbepaddleboarding · 05/10/2025 15:12

I want to stay at home with my dog.
The government keep piling more and more work on us while refuse to engage in annual pay rise discussions and sending out emails thanking us for our hard work at the difficult time. Don’t thank us, pay us!
I have autism, depression, SAD on top of that and anorexia and it’s all a bit much at the moment.
I have 2 books I want to read.
It’s cold, windy and rainy.
I get angsty sat at a desk most of the day doing paperwork instead of working with the people we’re meant to work with.
I want to exercise and walk my dog instead.

DoMiraculousThingsWithBroccoli · 05/10/2025 15:12

I’ve just run a half marathon and are now in the pub getting pissed. Will have a hangover tomorrow. Sorry boss.

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!

MidnightPatrol · 05/10/2025 15:14

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

LadyHexham · 05/10/2025 15:14

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

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 🤦🏼‍♀️

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 .

SquirrelosaurusSoShiny · 05/10/2025 15:19

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

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 05/10/2025 15:20

I honestly just can't be fucked

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 😵😵

NormasArse · 05/10/2025 15:21

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

chippylips · 05/10/2025 15:22
