    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

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

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

    .......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.

    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:

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I can't wait for my retirement. The age went up recently to 68 so I need to wait another 37 years or so for it.

    That used to also happen to me until last year. Probably because I worked in a bar for 5 years, and we were so busy that I never had time to eat! Think this year I put on about 2kg over Christmas. I never anticipated that working in an office would involve so many baked good/sweets/selection boxes etc being offered to me...
