Sunday Sads

JSS1002 · November 2013

Not sure what my problem is but I am incredibly bummed that it is Sunday night and I SO do not want to go to work tomorrow. There was a time in my life when I looked forward to going to work every single day, and also a time whne I worked from home for5 years and never felt like I had to ever "go to work." I'm not used to feeling so burned out -- and frankly, I'm not really sure why I am feeling this way, because I'm in between projects right now, just had a vacation with the hubs last month, etc...

Anybody else have an impending sense of doom on Sunday nights?

Big time. I got a promotion that I had been working toward for 3 yrs when I was pregnant...now I dread Sunday's b/c I know Ihave to go back tomorrow

JSS1002 · November 2013

Yeah, they promoted me right before my leave. Sigh.

I used to get so much satisfaction from working my way up the ranks...it sounds trite, but priorities change, things that seemed important just arent anymore

I still want to work and I enjoy my job / company / team / boss, but I want to give them the promotion back. Ha! My priorities are totally different right now (and I feel like my brain rewired itself during pregnancy).

Yes, every Sunday night is awful! I know it's mainly because I spend the whole weekend with my little man and it's amazing. The thought of leaving him with the nanny tomorrow makes me want to cry.

Yeah just found out my dad has shingles. Poor guy. So DD is not allowed around him.

Sunday night blues here too... I loved my job before I went out on leave. Okay, maybe not loved, but I definitely didn't hate it. Well, 2 weeks before I returned from leave, my boss called, and said I would be moving to cover my co-worker who was going out on maternity leave a month after I returned. Okay, sure I guess. Not really my choice. WELL, they promoted said co-worker right before she left, gave MY job to my other co-worker, and now I am stuck doing something I hate (collections work) and I never signed up for. I am also very behind and Monday's are known for customer complaint calls after the weekend. When money is involved, people are very sensitive and downright nasty at times. Sorry I guess I vented here! But yes, I totally have the Sunday night blues right now.

Yes. I'm dreading tomorrow too. The only thing getting me through this week is knowing I only have a 3 day week next week.

This girl. DH just left for 3 days of "work" to Denver. This time he gets to go skiing. Seems like he was just in MN for "work" at the Vikings game.

Yes he does actually have a day or two of real work in there...but still. I'm bummed that he's there and we are here!!

Normally yes, but it is the last week of classes and I'm just excited to be (close to!) done with another semester!

24ladybug · November 2013

Me too.
This week is going to be crazy.
I want more time to enjoy my little bundle that is now seven months! It's going too fast.

I found out (by accident)on friday that im being let go after the holidays

. I have been so upset. I was planning on working specially with another baby on the way and I feel like no one is going to want to hire a pregnant girl

( . Worst part they don't know I know. So I have to put my smile on tomorrow. Sniff sniff

JBDamonM · November 2013

I totally have the Sunday blues, but I also hate my job so that may have something to do with it. This is nothing new for me

I'm Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's priorities have changed. I also have a busy week this week which makes me dread it that much more. Ugggghhh!

MsAmeera25 · November 2013

I used to love my job too. But my company is reorganizing, restructuring blah blah blah. My job actually just told me I need to go back to traveling 3 -4 days a week so I see sleeping in mid day naps and some trashy judge shows in my near future cause there is not a chance in hell of me leaving my kid 3/4 days a week every week. After tomorrow we'll be one step closer to Friday

@sol1790 I am so sorry, how did you find out? @MsAmeera25 this is my job too. We are expanding down in San Diego (2 1/2 hours away) and they want me to start going down there 2 days at a time staying overnight. I am considering doing it if I can bring the baby and my sitter but other than that I'm done.

I was supposed to be out on an errand but I forgot something and came back. My boss was on the phone with his wife and I heard my name in the conversation I know it is extremely rude to hear other people's conversation. But I could not help it once I heard my name mentioned. And I overheard them talking about how to tell me. He never noticed I was there.

TuckleUp · November 2013

I'm sorry, Sol. That's awful

I may be alone, but I'm happy it's Monday because my husband will go back to work. He's been moping around the house with a bad back and I'm an awful wife and need a break.

BellaBean76 · November 2013

@sol1790 I'm sorry. That's such a bummer, especially with number 2 on the way. I definitely remember people on this board being hired while they were pregnant so maybe you will have some luck.

Yes I do. I do hope I get lucky and find a job. Im a way I'm glad I know. It gives me time to start looking and they wont take me by surprise.

@Tondraluv taking my nanny isn't an option for me cause they wouldn't cover her flight. I told my boss that if they want me to travel 3-4 days a week that they better put Ethan on the payroll cause he is going to be right there in my training classes with me lol He can be my assistant and the mid day entertainment.

Baby girl had RSV, Bronchiolitis and an ear infection last week- poor thing! I got a call from her daycare that she had a fever of 101 on Tuesday so I left work to go pick her up. I worked from home Wednesday and kept her out of daycare but couldn't get any work done so I took the rest of the week off. With next week being a holiday week and working half week last week, I have a lot of work to catch up on. It's going to be a long day!

I was in the ABSOLUTE worst mood all day yesterday. Not sure if it was because my son didn't sleep the night before or the fact that I'm PMSing...but I couldn't wait to come to work today!

I was in a terrible mood yesterday too and I'm not sure what's up with that. I always think it is a good idea to have a weekend of nothingness and sit around a lot but then I just end up irritated that we didn't do anything.

The head-butting didn't help -- still hurts today :-(

Maybe just a change in family circumstances for them? Hopefully they at least give you a glowing review so you can quickly find a new position. I'm sure good nannies are very hard to find, so hopefully you have your pick of new opportunities!
