Anybody else dread going to work on Monday?

I worked for a "Fortune 50" company almost 25 years before being laid off after a company buy-out…. had to pretty much "start over" with the next couple jobs, even though I was well experienced in my profession…. the past ten years I have worked as an independent contractor and enjoyed my job…. primarily because there is no "politics" AND no "drama" involved! When I show up, the company people are happy to see me, I do my job, go home and send an invoice….

One comment I would offer as it applies to making a job change because another job "seems better"…. "The grass may look greener on the other side of the fence…. but it STILL has to be mowed"…. meaning, many times a situation may appear "better"…. and we make the change only to discover many things are the same as before…. just with different people or surroundings….

There were a number of things I didn’t like with my long-time job, but I learned how to be satisfied where I was and focus on what I liked about working there….

Best to ya, my friend…. don’t let the other "crazies" get in your head and spoil the "fun" for ya!

So far this year, someone blew out their colostomy bag twice and dripped fecal matter on the floor down every aisle they walked, someone flat out took a **** and left a pile in the middle of the aisle, someone showed me a pic of their dick on their computer, Friday someone lost their ****ing mind and was screaming "I ain't scared of (the director), someone go tell him I ain't scared!!" Half my line got interviewed by OSI bc one of the guys on my line is producing AI child porn and stealing Facebook pics of a girl on another line and making AI porn with her pics...

I told my supervisor I wanted moved off my line, trying to diffuse the situation he looked at me and jokingly asked if I wanted a hug, "No, I want moved off this line to one without all the BS," he asked if I wanted a hug again, I said, "Yeah, let's go outside behind the dumpster and you can give me a mouth hug," he said "Why go behind the dumpster, I'll do it right here in the middle of the aisle!"

I walked away bc I couldn't gage if he's kidding. The dick pic guy and him are good friends and they're swingers. So I'm not sure.

All I know is, 2 day weekends aren't long enough and I've had to basically stop drinking bc the Doc said my body doesn't tolerate alcohol. Maybe I'll take up smoking or vaping. Or cocaine or heroine. Hell IDK.

Monday is a bitch of a way to spend 1/7 of your life………

Wishing it to be over is wishing your life away.......Someone told me that once. He is right. I do feel your pain. I've been there. I guess we all have

Hang in there.
I only worked the same job for 44 years before I retired....

Every job I ever had I wanted to last till retirement. Never worked out that way. But I did try. I hate looking for work. I think you did too. The BS would just keep piling up to a point and I'd leave and start over again. You work so hard to get somewhere only to start over again and again. No good.....That said, I still only had like 5-7 jobs my entire working career.
They do say it's better to change jobs ever so often to up your pay and retirement benefits.

I had a job I enjoyed and was very good at. Outlasted a lot of crappy supervisors (and a few really good ones).
Always happy for my mom's advice "know your job, and do it well, you'll never have to kiss anyone's ass". There is great truth in that saying.
