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?

It's an overtime shift, on a&e

I'm already tired

My house is so messy it's making me sad and I'll be too tired to do much about it when I get home

I don't like leaving the house before ds but will have to or I'll be an hour late

I want to spend the day putting my house back together and chilling with the cat

I got a book for my birthday two weeks ago that I haven't even started yet but really want to read

I don't want to get up at 6am

Winter pressure is already starting and it just seems to get more intense every year

I don't feel like being assaulted (a not unreasonable desire, but as likely to happen as not in a busy a&e)

I resent having to work so many hours just to line some London landlord's pockets who has never even been to my city let alone the house. Especially when he does fuck all about the disrepair in the house. (blown down fence, black mould, water damaged floors)

I could go on but I'm already having a bit of a pity party for myself and this probably isn't helping

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.

Sending you love @Whereismyfleeceblanket this is the hardest and worst part of having a dog. Please be gentle with yourself

I quit my job with no notice recently as I’d had enough of my gaslighting manager. I’ve got a decent fuck off fund so thought fuck it. Having a bit of time off then will start the job search

Whereismyfleeceblanket. So sorry, you must be distraught. My thoughts are with you.
sending you a vertual hug.

Popping back to thank posters for the good wishes.
It's today and I feel sick.

Ddog is still feisty and isn't going to go quietly I fear.. 2 weeks ago we had her dm pts after a bad stroke. Honestly life can be very cruel. The support of mn has been with me on a few bad journeys over the years.. For that I am grateful.. And for 12 years with my beautiful girl.
She will be very much missed.

I NEVER want to go to work anymore. 2.5 years until my retirement and I'm so over working. Love the people but just want to stay at home now - I'm tired and I hate getting up early every bloody weekday. Currently on leave for three days and it's utter bliss!

Sending you all the love and thoughts 🥰. We lost our dog in June and it’s literally heartbreaking 😭.

I am recovering from an invasive diagnostic procedure which made me really unwell, and while I was in for the procedure, I also picked up covid - it's an effort to bother even blinking.

I am so done with my job. I loved it. Then we were 'streamlined' which was 'doing more with less', so the work piled up, then people left because the workload was insurmountable, the people were not replaced, but the expectations and the deadlines don't move. As a PP said, you just keep getting 'we appreciate everything you are doing' emails.

I am so tired.
I want to stay in bed and read.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow because.....
I have been ill all weekend so haven't enjoyed my time off, I feel like I have been robbed of my days off !!!

That always happens to me. You have my sympathy. I'm sure my immune system saves up any colds & bugs until my annual leave. 😪

Have the best last day together, they really are one of the family
Your dog will know how much you love them , lots of hugs and cuddles for your little one
