    Anyone else get the Sunday blues about starting the workweek?  I have a stressful job but one I really like, and Sunday evening, I start to feel down.  Everything is fine by Monday 11:00.  It's especially bad today since I have been off work since Christmas Eve.

    I am right there with you!!! My FI and I were just talking about it. We've both been off for two weeks, so it's going to be really rough.

    To make things more dramatic, I'm starting student teaching tomorrow! Eeps!

    I am definitely getting them. Not because I don't want to go back to work but more b/c my sleep schedule is SO off. I have been on vacation since December 16th so I have been sleeping/getting up whenever. This week is going to really hurt =(

    I've been off for two weeks (thanks to a snowstorm the last day I was supposed to be at work!), and I'm dreading going back tomorrow.  I'm still sitting around in my pajamas thinking about how little I want to go back tomorrow.  My schedule is all thrown out of whack.  I think it will be good to get back, but this week is going to suck.

    To add to my anxiety: they're announcing a 12% staff reduction at some point "early 2010."  I hope they make the announcement this week or next, I can't stand the waiting...

    I am so dreading going back to work tomorrow.  I've been off since the 23rd and, not that work is that horrible, but I've enjoyed sleeping in the past week and a half!  Ugh..now it's back to waking up at 6AM when it's FREEZING out!

    So sorry you girls have to go back to work!  I'm not working right now but I remember how horrible that felt!  I only have this week left and then school starts up, not sure I'm ready!

    Gosh I feel you, it's not about not *liking the job* but the low of having all this fabulous free time and now going back to the grind. I'm excited though because on Monday I start my last rotation- aka one step closer to graduation!

    I've been off school/work since the 21st, so tomorrow is going to be a pretty rude awakening!  Also, I'm starting a new student teaching placement (after quitting my job) so I've got some big changes in store...

    I know what you're talking about.  I like my job (I work at a schoo) and am for 3 weeks!  One more left, but it's been so stressful lately I am going to have go in this week just to catch up on some things before I officially go back, so sad :(  But i also want to try to clear as much as I can before things gets evenmore stressful since our wedding is in 3 months.  Sundays are too short!

    I feel your pain!  I am a teacher, so I am not exactly looking forward to the students' craziness tomorrow morning.  And getting up at 5:45 AM.  And eating breakfast on the road.  And battling the snow...  Ah, c'est la vie de la prof!

    It's very weird for me because I quit my job right before the holidays and my new job starts tomorrow!!  I feel like I've just been on a long school break or something...and now I'm super nervous to start my new gig!

    It's much closer to home and it's an exciting change, but still a bit surreal and I can't believe that I'm starting something so new and different!

    I'm a teacher too and go back to work tomorrow after 2 heavenly weeks off. I actually love my job and I know I won't mind once I get there, but getting up early makes me grumpy! I also have regular Sunday night blues because I'm in an LDR and after spending weekends together Sunday nights are extra sad.

    @elisterine- Good luck on your student teaching! :)

    @Ms. Library- Usually my kids (elementary) are really tired after a long break and are well behaved the first day or two. As the week goes on and back-to-school exhaustion sets in... well that's another story!

    We have been off for two weeks (both teachers). This whole day I have been thinking it would be nice to have another week off.

    @elisterine  Good luck student teaching! I'm sure you will do fine. I remember when I did mine, I didn't sleep the night before, but my cooperating teacher was awsome!  I survived and you will too!

    I'm actually looking forward to heading back to work tomorrow! I worked a few days last week but I know I have stuff waiting for me to do. By Tuesday I'll be ready for the weekend!

    I've only been off since the 31st, but I'm always bummed about going back after the weekend.  It doesn't help that it's soooooo cold outside... it makes waking up a lot harder!

    I am allllllways bummed on Sunday nights. I am just a "work to live" person and I really don't think any job would make me HAPPY to head back on Monday morning... how could anything be better than hanging out with my FI all day on the weekends? 

    I have this REALLY bad habit of staying up really late on Sunday nights bc I just don't want the weekend to be over, then I'm super tired/cranky Monday morning which does no one any good.

    I'm normally pretty bummed on Sundays, too!

    But this week is different. I've been off (mostly) since Christmas Eve. But last week I only went in to work on Mon-Wed from 8 to 9 to open the building, and had to leave due to migraines. Ended up checking into the ER over it and having to take the rest of the week off.

    I'm SO ready to go back to work, I'm so behind on a lot of stuff! It's a strange feeling, actually wanting to go back tomorrow!
