    Good luck to all of you in the morning. Don't be too depressed. Spare a thought for those of us that already went back last week, or had to work over the festive period. It's been a short holiday for me than I've been used to.

    Nah I am sort of looking forward to getting back into routine now - I've been a hermit for the past 2 weeks! Now I'm fat and fed up :-(

    QUOTE]

    Positives

    I'm delighted Christmas is over. I love that Spring is on its way.

    Negative

    See my work pals.....cough...splutter ... a few of them are back stabbing b*tches.

    90% of the work pals are sound but it's the 10% that rule the roost where I work. So we shut up and let them rule.

    We shouldn't but in a bizarre way it makes life easier.

    Nope I'm looking forward to going back too. I'm also looking forward to getting back into healthy eating habits and TRX.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭Highflyer13


    Woo 10 days annual leave starting tomorrow:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Didn't get any break for Christmas at all, but heading off for a few days in middle of January!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Aongus Von Bismarck


    Back to work tomorrow and raring to go. Have enjoyed the break, and feel emotionally and physically refreshed. I've spent the last few days thinking about the goals and milestones I hope to reach in 2015. We have a team meeting in the morning, and I've a number of suggestions that I'm going to put forward about how we can be more responsive and productive in the next year. The IT guys are going to have a busy January if some of them get the green light!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭groucho marx

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    I've been on holidays for almost 2 weeks (except for two days where I was glad to go in and get away from the nosebag).

    I'm glad to go back tomorrow, the trick is to have something to look forward to during the week, could be as simple as an episode from a box set, a walk whatever.

    If you're going straight into the salads, no booze, walking up a mountain in the wind and rain regime .....well you're in for a world of pain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,384 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    Hoping you are joking....

    He's essentially a fictional construct.

    Anyway, this is like concentrated Sunday after a few days off, Sunday cubed or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,236 ✭✭✭Dr. Kenneth Noisewater


    I didn't wake up til almost midday or after for most of the last 2 weeks. Bloody dreading tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭Trebor176


    Although I've been back a week, today just seems so depressing for some reason.

    100% agreed.

    Is that not difficult? I was censored once in a part-time job when I lost my cool and called the boss woman a bitter f***ing tyrant. It did not go down well - but they had no one else to do weekends so I was grand. She stared me down with puckered lips for the next year.

    I was in last Friday and also on the 22nd/23rd - saving my leave for later (starts in September). Ah I remember the year I came back to work pretty pissed off only to be told I had 10 days leave accrued and had to take 5 of them immediately...I don't think my boss had even finished the sentence before I was roaring out of the car park :pac:

    Same!

    I spent most of the day cooking food for the week. Proper running back tomorrow and proper gym sessions back Tuesday. 2lb put on over Christmas, not too bad at all, but it'll be gone by this day next week!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭newbee22


    I don't mind going back to work, I'm just dreading the sound of the alarm :mad:

    College student off until the last week of January...absolute bliss


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 479 ✭✭In Lonesome Dove


    I was off since Xmas eve and the break was brilliant and much needed too. I played computer games, I watched movies, did some hobbies and things I enjoyed, went for walks and all that was great. I don't get time for much throughout a working week so the time off was very great. My routine is all up in the air too. I've been going to bed late at around 2 or 3 am and rising for about 11 or midday and I'm back to an 8 am start tomorrow. I'll have to try and get into bed for about 11 or midnight. I hope I don't sleep out the alarm in the morning.

    Me too, was delighted it was only 2lb. But I did keep my running up over the break. Mr P put in half a stone - he's not amused. Mostly drinking.

    I'm looking forward to some different faces and catching up - I'm fortunate to work with people I quite like (well most of the time) and there's possibly a new position opening up for me so it's all positive for January. Not looking forward to being skint all month though. But I feel rested and recharged so it shouldn't be dreadful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,059 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    All through my working life, I always had the Sunday Night Syndrome!

    But no more. I am probably a fossil to all you lot, but I worked my 38 years, (some of you are probably only half or a little more than that age now) started in Woolworths in Grafton Street at 14 yrs on Saturdays, always worked the Summer holliers, and went straight to full time work in CS after Leaving Cert. (Lucky to get LC in those days too yay)

    SOOOOO fek the lot of ye, I took early retirement, so every day is a Saturday for me now!

    Sorry, I know some like the routine of work, some like to be off.

    I'm so happy now. Every day is an adventure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    I lost weight over Christmas which happens every bloody Christmas for some reason


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭Hooked


    Worked a sat morning in December (7am till 11am) on the promise of tomorrow off. Thank feck. I just need one more day!

    Been off since tue 23rd. Nice break, dreading going back. Just need a change but the job is too close and convenient to look elsewhere. Eeeuuugghhhhh!

    Plus I chipped a tooth on Thursday. Need to see a dentist tomorrow. That's gonna hurt... My pocket.

    Happy new year me hole!
