Work...

[LunarSpoon]

Am I the only one struggling to stay awake at work?! I'm usually a bubbly, productive person but I feel like in the last week especially I am absolutely DRAINED by noon. My office is super cold, and all I want to do is grab a warm blanket and comfy pillow and hide under my desk. SOOOOO ready for a 4-day weekend coming up!

How do you all stay awake during the day? Coffee is out for me, and cold water helps but also makes me ever colder!

Im in hot classrooms. I have to get up and walk around. It can be so hard

I keep seeing so many people from Seattle on the forums!

I'm a stay at home mom at the moment, but with my last pregnancy I would nearly fall asleep standing up while at work. I was constantly exhausted and I was helping to open a new store, so I had to endure long shifts.

Luckily it doesn't last too long, but it is an awful time.

I've felt the same at work. Oh but on a good note, I'm also a Seattlite!

I work second shift and it's truly a struggle to stay away when I am so exhausted by 8 p.m. but have 4 more hours of work to go.

I am back to work tomorrow after a 3 week home rest. I am so tired all the time, and I am unsure how this is going to go. I am just making sure I have plenty of fluids and little snacks to keep me going

Yup! I have to force myself to get up and walk. Even if it's just to go the bathroom. Lol

I'm a cleaner/waitress so on my feet all day! So not looking forward to work tomorrow!!

 

[mysteriouseye]

So many Seattle-ites, I love it! I'm so glad we have a four-day weekend this week... I definitely needed it. Found out on Wednesday that our IT/Marketing Director gave notice and I'll be his replacement, so there's a whole other can of worms to look forward to lol. I'm excited to take on more, honestly (especially the bump up in salary,) but still... I was kind of like "REALLY? Now?" We had company-wide reviews Wednesday as well, and my boss announced that I'll be able to work from home waaaaay more, particularly when the little one arrives. Such a huge relief!

The year end bonus kind of made up for the suffering through of a long, oddly-air conditioned last few weeks, too... so I suppose I can't complain toooo much. I need to save some whining for when I NEED it

I'm finding it near enough impossible, I do a little countdown on my phone of how long until nap time! haha!

I'm also asking for a pay rise before I let them know I'm pregnant so falling asleep as work probably wont go down too well

Congrats lunarspoon!

I'm struggling after lunch too, I'm sooo tired, head is fuzzy, totally useless. Today my dd was ill so I left work and picked her up & we both went to bed!! Can't wait till this phase passes.

Yes I'm struggling with tiredness......one day I feel exhausted & have flu like symptoms (that could be that I'm so cold in work though) and the next day I feel okay, but no where near the amount of energy I normally have 😔
