Is it normal to be completely exhausted and unproductive at work for a while?

This is my third week back (first full week) and I'm friggin' useless.

Glad I'm not the only one! I am in consulting and have to log my time (billable hours), so it is really shameful at the end of the week to look back and try to figure out what I did with those 40 hours. This is week 5, and it's a little better, but still pretty pathetic.

One could argue I should get off The Bump, then, I suppose. Embarrassed

Ditto. My second week. I just can't get back into work mode. Spending too much time on this board and FB and counting down until lunch and 5 p.m. when I get to see DD again.

Would love to be home right now!

I was so tired my first weeks back i was walking into walls. Just recently crying on my way to work because I was retardedly tired.

So you're telling me I will feel like this when I come back to work in a few months? Dratts, I thought it was because I am getting anxious to meet my LO in a few weeks. I'm pretty much useless for most of the day anymore, but I just keep telling myself, one more day at work is one more day at home with LO after his arrival.
