Are you guilty of spreading post-vacation workplace enthusiasm?

Maybe this lady in my office had one of those wonderful stay at home lazy vacations.  Or took the right combination of drugs this morning.  Or maybe I just got used to not having to put up with her for a week, haha. 

I feel your pain, though. Co-workers can test every last nerve that you didn't even know you had. Fortunately I work independently nowadays and don't have to deal with any of that crazy.

I appreciate the empathy.  I will champion through the pain. 

Stay away from sharp objects and if you can, sneak a swig or two of something strong. Cinnamon gum will cover it up nicely.

Haha, oh I'll just do the usual routine of keeping a couple spreadsheets open, scattering some papers across the desk, keeping a frustrated look on my face.  The facade of productivity with a day full of wasting time on social media hiding behind the mask. 

You're living the American dream. And I don't even know where you're from.

My actions are geographically appropriate, I'm in America. 

I'm not surprised. 

I'm jealous that I don't have a hangover today. I'll have to try harder next weekend.

I failed the weekend along with Lenina.  The strongest drink I had was a Mountain Dew. 

  Not even when you leave?  That’s the happiest time of the day for all of your co-workers, so don’t underestimate yourself!

I was very popular at work!  When I left they had a great big going away party for me!  I didn't go because it was the day after I left.  Oh, wait!

  I bet money that they’re still partying.

You stole all of my motivational posters didn't you????

I needed room on that wall for all of my awards.

Ehh, that can be rough as well but in many cases I'm also excited for them to be going on vacation.
