working is work!
Posted By becky on August 10, 2009
Today I went back to work after being off for what seemed like a month. I rarely take week long vacations and this one was even longer than that! I left work in July and came back almost in the middle of August.
Dudes, work is hard.
My alarm went off this morning at a time that should only be reserved for roosters and the Dunkin’ Doughnut Man. Who gets up this early? Ben and I were both staggering and puffy eyed.
My car was on autopilot going to the office. Which is good because I’m pretty sure I was still asleep.
When I got to work I realized that I actually HAD WORK to do! LOTS of it! What? You mean I can’t come in to a clean desk and a Inbox that says (0)? How rude.
Don’t even get me started on a lunch HOUR. Only an hour? And then back to that office thing that looks like a prison cell cozy room with computers and a fax machine? Why isn’t my lunch at the pool? Why aren’t there lots of kids around me? Where is the concession stand? WHERE IS MY POOL!?
And then there’s the “Having To Wear Pants All Day” rule. Totally lame. And the “Can’t Play Facebook Games All Day” rule. Harsh.
At 1:30pm I yawned and declared “NAP TIME!” I went to turn off the lights and find my blanket but Josh gave me a weird look, a shake of his head and led me gently back to my desk.
At 2:37pm I looked again at this co-worker guy and said, “So how long does this “Work Day” thing last?”
Somehow I made it. Barely but I did. However I heard an evil rumor I have to do the exact same thing tomorrow. And the day after that, and the day after that…
Dear Vacation,
I miss you.
Love,
Me
