Are you guilty of spreading post-vacation workplace enthusiasm?

I fantasize about slapping these people that seem all refreshed and full of new ideas.

  • Are you kidding? I come back tired from my vacations. I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.

  • 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 vacation was great.   Today's hangover proves it.

  • 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.

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