So done with working

I'm really hoping today will be my last day of work before maternity leave!  I work in a hospital lab 10 hour shifts, but I have a 7 on/7 off schedule.  After they switched me to days (they're all afraid I'll go early and it's much easier to cover for day shift than my normal late shift), I get a random day off during my normal 7 stretch which is tomorrow.  I'm really hoping I go into labor tomorrow so I don't have to come back Tues. and Wed.!  Not sure if it's the being pregnant and tired and uncomfortable that makes me want to be done, or the excitement of having so much time off with my LO when she's born!

 I'm hoping that between the cervical check at my doc appt., full moon, a nice walk with my pup, a bumpy truck ride on some forest roads with my husband, and all the pineapple I've been craving; that tomorrow will be the day!  Wishful thinking I know, but I'm just so done with work and can't wait to meet our little girl!

Re: So done with working

  • Your job sounds way more demanding than mine (I sit at desk most of the time and it's M-F 8:30 - 5:30), but I feel you on being done with work.  I am dreading having to work through this whole week (Friday is my last day), I just don't know how to face another week right now...

     Good luck!

  • I can relate. I just went back in May after being laid off in March. I want to be done but we have to make up for the time lost. I am desk duty until I have the baby. That typing all day is starting to catch up with me and my wrists. I work from 0600 to 1430 five days a week with 2 days off back to back. I hope one of my off days will be the day and I have to call in.

  • I couldn't agree more!  Tomorrow is my last day working as I'm being induced later this week.  I work a desk job, so it's not physically demanding, but I'm struggling to stay focused and on task.  I've already transitioned off of most of my projects and at this point just feel like I'm a lacky -- all I do is little tasks.  It's very frustrating and not at all rewarding. 

    Just one more day...
