Why do first days back at work after a holiday always have to be as awful as they come?? I had my first day back yesterday, and it was one of those really draining shifts where everything unpleasant that can possibly happen does happen, you get not even a five minute break, everybody is completely stressed out, and you end up having to stay an hour longer at the end of the day - as if 12 hours isn't long enough already... Aaaargh! Then on the way back the road was closed off and the diversion added another 25 minutes to my 1-hour journey home, AND for the last 30 minutes the idiot behind me had his lights on full beam so I got blinded in my rearview mirror all the time. Got home at 11 at night in a flood of tears. :-(

Sorry for the long rant, but it helps to have a good moan sometimes! ;-) Thank God I have my last long shift tomorrow, and then it's over to short shifts from next week on, woohoo!

I'm in my 2nd week of work after an amazing holiday & am still struggling, none of the days have got any better & I wish my working life away more now then I did before

Awww I'm sorry to hear your first day back was very long and a nightmare! At least you can now look forward to shorter shifts :) love your little ladies name :) x x
 
Ahhhh first days back are horrible! Hopefully things perk up!
 
i know how you feel i do 12 hour shifts too bloody knackering i hope your next shift is better
 
I'm on holiday atm and have my first day back on sunday of all days! Dreading it :( xx
 
How rubbish! I hate people who drive with there lights on full beam! I had to start at 5.30 this morning and im so tired i could cry :( xx
 
Had my first day back in London today (have been travelling with work whole of August) walked into chaos this morning, still here now and will be here for a few hours yet i'm sure - rubbish day! Always hits you the hardest when you have had a few days off... Just to top it off one of the other girls who works with me has just announced she is preggers too - there are only 3 of us who work for this family (one is a bloke) and my boss has hit the roof! She is now pissed off with both of us! Ahhhh, the joys of work :)

Oh dear, that doesn't sound nice. Hope you get to go home soon. Roll on maternity leave!!

Hope you'll be the exception that proves the rule and have a really good first day back... Enjoy the rest of your holidays!
 
It sucks when you walk into a load of crap straight after a holiday. I always felt that it was a punishment for taking time off. Here's to mat leave for all of us.
