To Be Relieved to be Returning to Work tomorrow?

[DBD1975]

Is it just me or is anyone else feeling very relieved about returning to work tomorrow?
Fed up with difficult relatives, enforced family time, Christmas chaos, trying to keep everyone happy, shopping, cooking, tidying up and all the forced gaiety, it is draining.
Please tell me I am not being unreasonable and it is not just me!

I don’t even waste annual leave on it on the premise that only get so much each year - want to use it on what I want to not forced fun

Yep can’t wait to escape all the chaos.

I’m the same except I’m not going back until the 2nd and ma have gone mad by then. I need my routine back!

Yeah I’m bored and fed up! I don’t like my job and I’m still looking forward to going back.
I spend a lot of time on my own though so I think this is a big factor.

We have mandatory time off between xmas eve and 2nd Jan. I am loving it. It's the only week of the year the group chat isn't full of people off sick and you then feeling guilty you have holiday time off!

I love my time off work and it is one of the few weeks that is completely free of rushing children around or having to do other chores for other people. I am back on 2nd but definitely not looking forward to it.

I'm not going back until the 5th, but no I am absolutely not looking forward to it! I like my job in lots of ways but it's intense with a relentlessly heavy workload. We were away over Christmas, which was busy and a bit tiring, though fun. But now we are just chilling out at home. Dc are late teens so do not need looking after! I could happily have another 2 weeks!

I go back on the 5th. Usually would like going back but I was so stressed before going on leave im not sure I can face it. Even the thought of it makes me feel sick. Looking for a new job but no luck so far 😕
