Sunday Blues

oldbag · 11 May 2008 at 18:41

Ok, so every Sunday at around 6pm I get the Sunday blues, "oh no, work tomorrow, i can't stand the place, etc", but when Monday does come around (more often than not) I am fine and just get on with the job. So why Sunday? Is it years of conditioning of "I hate Mondays" or whatever thats made Sunday for me a bad day? Was this first started by School?

These 'blues' don't usually appear if I take a week day off, so what is it about Sunday? Is it the self-satisfied and smug TV programmes that come on at about 6 to smugly remind you that you have work tomorrow? What is it about Sundays?

Sign that it's time to get a new job.

Probably is a legacy of childhood and school to some extent. Also, sell your TV!

Maybe, but I used to get it at school too. I can't believe I was the only person who didn't think, "YAY! It's school tomorrow, I can't wait, infact I wish I were there right now!".

I used to get them bad, even when I was unemployed. But since getting my current job I actually look forward to work. The job's a piece of cake, my co-workers are all decent and I love playing mind-games with the customers (just generally messing with them).

Simple things...

I know exactly what you mean mate, I'd spend a good portion of sunday just feeling **** about school on monday.

Not so much about work anymore as my job is pretty easy, but I do have my longest day on a Monday which doesn't help.

I think we should ban Mondays, just go straight from Sunday to Tuesday.

this isnt meant to be 'clever' (god forbid I'm ever guilty of that lol), but on sunday I see monday as one step closer to friday/saturday, I try and put a positive spin on it

I'm the same, even though I enjoy my job. I detested school.

I love Monday nights though for some reason.

Sounds like someone has a case of the "Mondays" ;p

Sunday evenings are depressing for me, even when I have nothing to do on Monday. Just feel kind of at a loose end, I spose.

SourChipmunk · 11 May 2008 at 20:42

I feel that way when I have the weekend off, get absolutely nothing accomplished around the house because I spent Friday night getting snockered and slept all day Saturday and/or watched TV all day. Then the weekend's over and I feel like I've just wasted it completely.

I've always felt a little low on sundays, this sums up why

Same here...Can't stand Sunday evenings. Monday morning I'm usually okay tho, so it's not long to wait.
