Sunday nights are the worst.

[Lavender Brown]

I hate that "work night" feeling I get, knowing that I have to be up early tomorrow and that it is still five days away from Friday. x( Why can't weekends be longer?

[JenaLaw]

1. agreed...

I really don't want this weekend to end!

[Lavender Brown]

4. I need more than two days.

x(

[Muttocracy]

17. If I didn't have dogs who need me to come home, I'd work 4 x 10hr days

just to have a 3 day weekend.

[Lavender Brown]

29. I understand that some state workers are going to get that schedule

Whether they want it or not... at least there was talk of it.

[Muttocracy]

30. I've met a number of D.C. federal agency employees who do it due to the commute

The hours they save in commuting time are like getting extra vacation benefits.

[CreekDog]

42. i did 9-80 when i worked at the Grand Canyon

you needed 3 days off since it took 1 day to get anywhere from there.

heck, even grocery shopping was a 4-5 hour project.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Sigh - I know what you mean.

And I actually like my job.

Of course I'm flying before the crack of dawn tomorrow, so I have be up at 4:30. x(

[Lavender Brown]

5. I like my job too

It's just the whole routine I guess. Winter zaps me of energy these days, though it never bothered me before. I guess that's age. x(

[Danger Mouse]

3. I think Saturday is the only day worth looking forward to at this point.

It's the only day where some form of work isn't kicking my ass.

[Lavender Brown]

6. Class starts this week, so I expect coursework will be stealing even my weekends.

I just want my damn degree already. :nopity:

[Danger Mouse]

11. Yeah, cry me a river.

:eyes:

No really, I do love you, honest. :hug:

[Lavender Brown]

14. Have a little pity... I'm taking statistics and I'm not a math person

:(

[Danger Mouse]

21. LOL...ok

:pals:

[Lavender Brown]

24. "Cry me a river"

Nice post, Gillibrand. :eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

27. Screw you, Paterson.

:hug: It's nice to have another upstater around who understand my pain. :P
Seriously, there's some hate going on for us folks on the DU these days. :D

[Lavender Brown]

28. It's Patterson!

Oh wait, never mind. :crazy:

[Muttocracy]

32. that kind of works as a nice diagnostic of whether people actually know anything

about NY politics :)

[Danger Mouse]

33. So, what new name will you adopt?

Time is running out!

[Lavender Brown]

37. I'm sticking with this

:shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

40. You disappoint me.

:P

7. I combat "Sunday night blues" by following a ritual -

Sunday night is my reserved bubble bath night (sometimes I get a tub during the week too, but I have reserved Sunday night for this purpose!). I get into a hot bath about 8:30, using my favorite scent (B&BW's Moonlight Path or Lavender and Chamomile). I light candles, have a glass of wine or a soothing hot beverage, grab a book and occasionally a piece of good chocolate, and relax until 10:15. At 10:15 I get out, get into comfy lounge clothes, and climb into bed (fresh sheets and all; Sunday is washing bed linens day). At 10:30, Mr. LIW and I watch Hogan's Heroes and then drift off to sleep.

My ritual is amazingly calming and relaxing, and it's both a nice way to wind up the weekend and start the week. It also gives me something to look forward to on Sunday nights. Bathtime is 30 minutes away.

[Lavender Brown]

9. That sounds so nice

I really need to shower in the morning or I can't wake up, otherwise I would take a bath before bed. My Sunday ritual used to be going to sleep early with a good book, but since I started school I haven't been reading as much for fun.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. You need things to break up the week. For instance...

Instead of 5 days until Friday, it's only 3 days until Lost.

[Lavender Brown]

10. I don't have any tv addictions right now

I always wind up watching the good shows two years after everyone else, on DVD. :P

[Danger Mouse]

12. I'm currently addicted to...

[Lavender Brown]

18. I haven't played a video game

since Duck Hunt in '89. :D

[Danger Mouse]

20. You should start.

:D

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. My old job was so intense, I would puke Monday mornings...

Seriously. :(

[Muttocracy]

15. That was true of a job I quit - it wasn't just Mondays

and I decided my health had to come first and I couldn't stay at that job much longer. It sucked because the job itself was great for me, but my supervisors were a nightmare.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. You're smart....

Nothing is more important than your health. Ya done good.

[Muttocracy]

26. well, you quit yours too, right?

you said old job, so I hope you did! The stress was so bad I wasn't doing my best work anyway.

[LeftyFingerPop]

36. Yes, I did. n/t

[Lavender Brown]

16. Damn. I'm glad that's not your current job, then

:pals:

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. Hang tough Lavender, it will be ok...

:pals:

[JVS]

34. Me too. But some think it was because I would drink a bottle of whiskey on Sunday night.

Liars! It was the pressure ;-)

[Generic Brad]

23. I used to feel that way when I went to school.

And for a long time I felt that way once I moved to the work force. But now - not so much anymore. I'm busy seven days a week so I no longer get that anxious feeling on Sunday nights.

[Lavender Brown]

25. It wasn't as bad when I was only working and not in school

Now I work full time and go to school at night, so I feel like I never have any time to myself all week.

[JVS]

31. It's the dread!

[Lavender Brown]

38. the dread sucks.

x(

[Silver Swan]

35. When I was working

I didn't want to go out at all on Sunday, so that I could savor the last hours at home.

I'm retired now, so Sunday is just another day, as are Monday, Tuesday, etc.

I am, of course, much happier now!

[Lavender Brown]

39. I should have gone to sleep early

Then Monday wouldn't be as yucky. Oh well.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

41. Now you know

why more suicides take place on Sunday night than any other time.

[Muttocracy]

45. I hadn't heard that but believe it. Is it true there are more heart attacks on Mondays? nt

[Jamastiene]

43. K&R

I couldn't agree more. We should have 4 day work weeks.

[Lavender Brown]

44. I changed my mind. Monday mornings are the worst.

:P

[Skittles]

46. it you still have a job, you should stop complaining
