Raise your hand if youve mentally checked out at work...

....
I just had a conference call that normally takes at least an hour, but since I just cant focus anymore it only lasted 20 minutes. How the heck am I going to make it another 3 weeks?

How very French of you.
I really want to check out but I get paid for the amount of work I do and I have to go a certain speed so I have no choice but to suck it up and keep going. I'd be very lazy right now if I was in a normal office

Me!!!
I can't keep focused whatsoever...
I have been checked out for quite awhile now. I wasn't a fan of my job before pregnancy and being pregnant sure hasn't helped my motivation.

OOO, ME, ME, ME!!
It doesn't help that I've only worked here since June, everyone is so bogged down with their own stuff that they don't have time to teach me how to help them. I've gotten very efficient at the tasks that I'm expected to do, then I spend the rest of my time on TB or couponing.... such is the life.

Same here!! My office looks like a hurricane hit it with all the paperwork surrounding me. I'm just motivated to do absolutely nothing lately.

This!! This this this this....
My job basically hired me, found out I was pregnant (I found out 2 weeks after I started) and immediately hired someone else to basically do the job they hired me for. So for the past however many months I've been getting *** work like cleaning the kitchen and sticking labels on calendars and anything else they can make me do without having to train me. How's THAT for motivating?! I'm pretty sure they were hoping I would quit so they wouldn't have to pay 2 people because they knew they couldn't fire me.
Today I'm supposed to be stuffing and addressing 264 Christmas Cards that my boss is sending out...I was also supposed to wrap about 150 gifts which thank GOD one of the other ladies in my office did for me because she didn't want me to hurt my back being hunched over for so long (as a pleasant side note she recruited the lady they gave my job to to help her which made me SOOO happy).
Both hands high in the air over here. I checked back in late October. I do as much work as I have to do to not get fired and the rest of the day I spend on TB or Etsy. I have 22 more work days until due date, but hopefully LO decides to be a Christmas baby.
I am struggling to continue writing extensive lesson plans everyday. At least tomorrow is my LAST observation as a student teacher! Yay! I am so ready to wrap up my classes, but I have three more weeks. At least I can say that my students are amazing and once class starts I forget all about wanting to just sit home and wait for LO's arrival. One of these days my cooperating teacher and my students are throwing me a party so I have that to look forward to! None the less, I am counting down the days until I am a college graduate, a certified teacher, and a new mommy!
Oh and I can't stand wearing dress pants anymore = )
Totally! I was doing okay until the last two weekends. They were filled with baby prep - setting up furniture, digging out the newborn clothes and washing them, etc. I'm in total baby mode now and work is just getting in the way.
14 days of work left!
I'm doing my normal work load and that's not the problem...the problem is that I am SO uncomfortable with my back pain and my bra digging in under my boobs/at the top of the baby bump and having to pee every 45 minutes and round ligament pain when I stand, that I simply do NOT feel like talking to anyone.
I want to be home, laying on my couch, moaning and groaning, but at least able to A) not talk to anyone ;-) and
throw the heating pad on my back when I need it and C) moan & groan to my hearts content without worrying that I'm irritating the _____ out of my coworkers.
It's SO much harder being pregnant this time for me (2nd). With my daughter I worked from home so never had to "get dressed" and I could shower whenever (lunch time-ish was my preferred time of day), I could work when I wanted to/needed to (so I wasn't docked for prenatal appts, etc)., and, well, I didn't have a 6 1/2 yr old to take care of! I literally start my day, up and running, at 6:30am and don't actually SIT and begin to unwind until 9pm. I'm standing at the kitchen counter right now, typing between stirring sauce for dinner...I really should be chopping the salad, but I just got in from the supermarket with my daughter and unpacked the groceries I managed to carry in (the rest are in the car waiting for my husband!) and need to mentally check out for a few...and this is where I do that ;-)
Touch?. Guess they are rubbing off on me.
