I don't want to go to work tomorrow because.......

[Lanzarotelady]

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 I’m on duty , and I’ve had no sleep due to DC waking up loads, and I’ve been caring for my grandma and cleaning all day so the weekend has flown by! I want to be part time 😭

Well I took vol redundancy so not at work tomorrow. But I don’t want to have to deal with sorting out a starting date for a job offer as I think there has been a misunderstanding about travel requirements and I don’t want to ask because I’m going to have to take the job anyway and just hope that it works out 🫣🫣

Because I resigned at the end of last week.

My motivation was rock bottom with micromanagement and lack of autonomy but now I really have ZERO motivation, but mercifully only a 2 week notice period.

I would rather be looking for a new job, because, yes, I am that moron who resigned with nothing to go to.

@WhiteRose9791 yes!!

I retired from the NHS a few years ago (mental health) and I will never forget the feeling of bliss on the first day my alarm woke me and I realised that I could turn it off and never have to go there ever again! I did enjoy elements of my job but the constant re-oganisation, cuts, change of managers, the feeling of running fast but never catching up and always feeling tired really got to me

I haven't had a day off in over 10yrs. I'm the only person that does my job. I was almost ready to do time in prison due to my job today. I haven't slept a full night in weeks and only the odd phase of decent sleep in the past 5 years. I'm exhausted.
Anyone guess my job 😂

Ive got a presentation ive not prepped for at the end of the day, so that will end up being the whole day. I should really have done some work today to take the pressure off tomorrow, but I didn't so now im dreading tomorrow 😫

Because I only ‘go’ to work in my front room - would really love to commute (but only 2-3 days a week!)
Because I have a task list as long as my arm, but I land up having to deal with email queries as a priority (usually so I can put the ball back their court / get them off my back)
Because I’d love a week off at home while the kids are in school to get on top of housework, meals, prepare an itinerary for our holiday abroad at Christmas time… we’ve left it a bit late and now lots of stuff is booked up already and DH is mad (it’s to his home country and he hasn’t been that enthusiastic about it as his mum died earlier this year and she won’t be there 😞) because it’s becoming a hassle and will likely cost waaaay more now. I don’t think he really wants to go at all now 🥺

Because it'll be another day of doing four people's work for the salary of one, punctuated by various missives from people who do not understand the legal, technical and logistical restrictions and just want what they want done now even if it is literally impossible - especially when the instructions are to drop everything and do this one (massive and frequently impossible) thing now, to be followed up by another irate missive demanding to know why the ten other things that had to be stopped haven't been done as others making equal demand have complained to them.

I want to do work tomorrow. I enjoy it. As a nd person gives me structure and I need to count the first aid kits.

--Most of Saturday was taken up with an event I 'had' to attend. It was nice to see everyone, but it doesn't feel like a real Saturday to me when there's something I 'have' to do. The weekend feels shorter and less satisfying.

--I don't know what I'm doing for some of our clients this month, which will mean extra effort just to get started. (It's not actually that bad. I'm being lazy.)

--I want to spend more time playing with my watercolours and new-found fude nib fountain pen sketching hobby.

Because my manager is one of the most controlling, dictating, manipulative, disingenuous people I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet.

Not a moron.
You can’t tell the future.

Feel empowered that you could quit and enjoy that.If it felt right it was right. Trust in the universe that better will come along.

I work part-time and am not in until Thursday, but I won't want to go to work because it's exhausting and badly paid. I just want to stop work completely.

Because someone has gone off long term sick, someone else is on maternity and I’m expected to pick up all their work as well as my own.

because I’m exhausted and would really rather be sat on the sofa watching Netflix

because I hate the fact I make the cunty bastards richer

I feel for you, I had one like that just over 20 years ago and although that is an age ago, I have never forgotten. I loved that job and had agreat manager who left for another rold. Along came "madam" as I used to think of her who started to micromange our team, made us hot desk (there was no need), put the small team on a bonkers rota where we all were assigned a number at the start of each week and had to do tasks designated for that number, changed everything for the sake of change and knew very little about the issues our service users faced and just thought they could be "told what to do" and was amazed when this did not work. One year in and the whole thing fell apart and I left for a new job.

I’ve decided that this is my last year and I feel a bit like I see light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s going to be full steam ahead, absolutely so much to do and it’s me that has to do most of it. I literally work non-stop, generally at least 2 extra hours a day, as do other people, I know, but I’m not paid overtime and I don’t seem to have any time alone bar running for a super quick bathroom break. I’d feel really guilty if I took lunch.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow
which is as just as well since
Tomorrow is my day off

Oh how I remember those days. Every single year… freshers flu. Just when you need to be on top of your game. And the ever increasing workload because of a no replacement, no recruitment policy. Still, it’s a distant memory now I’m 10 years into retirement. For the first 5 years or so waking up was bliss. A holiday every long day stretching ahead. Now it’s just normal. But wonderful. Look forward to it and make it happen as soon as you can.

I want to be with Ddog, I don't want to deal with work drama, the man-child part-timer, the twat RM or customers. I really don't care and not paid enough to care either. I want forest walks, beach walks, do training stuff with her and not deal with people.

Because I'm going to have to be a bus wanker as my bike needs servicing.

I have an audit to do.

I'm bored.

Thank you 🙏 I intend to finish early-mid 50s if I can, I do love (most of) my job but I certainly don't live to work (as academia will doubtless try to have it)!
So pleased you are happily retired, I can't wait to get there I won't lie...

Me too @Whereismyfleeceblanket

Sending good wishes to you and your lovely dog.

I'm with you ❤️

...because two days is not enough to do all my chores, enjoy my time off, rest and recover for another week of draining my cognitive energy so I can pay the bills while having no mental energy left for the things I really want to do.
