I assume she means it's stressful worrying about work while being with her kids. You've never experienced that?

Do you hate your kids or something? You say being with your kids is stressful...but your not saying your work is stressful...and once you get to work, you feel better. Is parenting your real stress problem? How old are your kids?

I felt this way with my last job. Recently resigned to be a SAHM. No more stress.

I once had a colleague who was so stressed by work she would throw up every morning before coming in. I think she was actually happy when they fired her, and I don't blame her. Not worth it. I hated that job too but not to the same extent she did -- I could not have lasted if I'd had the same reaction.

Why do you have to work on Sundays???

No; I really like my boss.

I used to dread Sundays because of work concerns. Things just seemed to be getting more and more stressful until they finally laid a bunch of us off. Now I get to be physically ill every damn day because of health and financial woes and because I don't have a job to go to on Mondays.

You realize that's a bullshit illness invented by drug companies, right?

Seasonal affective disorder isn't generally treated with any drugs so not sure why it would be invented by drug companies. First line treatment is light therapy.

No. I enjoy my job and my work "friends".

I used to feel this way when I was in school!

I used to. I would never have said that I didn't like my job, though of course I could point out things about it I didn't like... But then I was laid off. And I was actually happy. The relief of not having to go there anymore overwhelmed the stress of not having enough money coming in. I guess what I'm saying is, I didn't realize how bad it was until I was out of there.

I have a job I love now. I actually look forward to work, though again, I can find things I don't like about it. It is work, after all. I know I'm in the lucky minority, but might it be time to start putting out feelers and looking for a new spot?

I do today, but not normally, as I try to work from home on Mondays. I love the feeling I have when I wake up on Saturday, and the time I get to spend with my family.
