I don't want to go to work!!!

[Greenie]

I'm 28 weeks ans 1 day. I don't want to go to work. I just don't want to leave my house!! I don't feel like getting dressed, going anywhere, cooking, cleaning. I don't want to do anything but lounge in my PJ's, check my email and watch movies, eat lots of food, and sleep. I just don't feel well AT ALL.

Anyone else feeling this way? I'm a first timer, and I know that I won't get to rest ever again in my life, so I want to now.

Thanks for listening!

I hear you on the not wanting to go to work, Greenie. I'm so lethargic right now it's almost funny. I only want to sit on the couch with hot drinks and cozy under a warm blanket watching TV. I'm starting to nest a bit but even that's going slowly.

Work is super busy and stressful for me right now. I work with students and this is our busiest term of teaching (over 200 between 2 of us), individual appointments, planning curriculum, doing projects and so on. On top of that, I had an interview on Friday to compete for my own job. Job interviews are hard at any time. Try one at 29 weeks pregnant. The combination of pregnant brain and not even being able to take deep breaths when making my answers was just killer.

So yeah. The last place I'm wanting to go these days is to work.

I have to keep working for at least a little longer. My job isn't super stressful, but it just takes a lot out of me. Today I had to do a birthday party for 15 kids by myself, and how to teach a new co-worker all over again how to stitch a bear because the manager who trained her didn't teach her the correct way to do it. :irked:

I also got a complaint about me because I didn't do an adequate heart ceremony for this lady's kids. This is the part of making a bear (I work at Build A Bear) where the child dedicates the heart to be put in their bear. My standard dedication consists of 3 traits (Rub the heart on your heart so that your bear will have lots of love...Rub it on your nose so he won't snore), a wish, and a 'closer' like kissing the heart, or pumping the heart to 'get it started', or jumping up and down to 'jump start' the heart.I had to pee really bad, and I get in trouble for leaving people there to wait for me to go. So, I just asked the kids do 'make a wish and give it a kiss'. The mom complained to my manager, so my manager gave her like, 20 bucks in credit. She still wasn't happy.

THen, on the other end of the spectrum, the dad from the birthday party tried to tip me, and I can't accept tips, so I had to say no. They insited, but I couldn't take it.. It's just not worth my job. So, he took the money back (he tried to hand shake me my tip) and I saw that it was $40!! I really could have used that money. :(

It's just frustrating. I want to not work anymore. I just want to eat veggie corndogs and watch Arrested Development. I don't feel like doing anything. Serving little spoiled rich kids just isn't my idea of a fun day. I mean, watching a 1 year old chewing on a nugget from McD's and eating a whole bunch of candy just makes me want to ralph...

Sorry about the gripe. :soapbox It's just that there isn't anything I can do yet. The hours will be good up until Christmas, and we really need the money saved up for when I'm on leave.

I'm just tired.. :crap

Hugs to you, Carrie.

[Greenie]

Thanks. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. I'm doing that now while I can! :D

SO just got a wisdom tooth pulled today, and seeing him in absolute agony makes me feel not so bad. He's helpless, and making him Gelatin and Chicken Noodle made me totally queasy, but I just held my breath (and tounge) and took care of him.

But I'm having a Midnight Sickness wave, and I'm about to head to bed. Thanks again for the kind words. I just hoped that I wasn't alone out there in hating my job, absolutley and totally.

I SO don't want to work either...I LOVE my job..I love the contacts I make and I love working with the cops and firefighters, but I just want to be home.

I work 10 hr days so I get 3 days off a week, Today is day 3 :(

My paid maternity leave is whatever I've saved up from vacation and sick and I already added it up and will only have 3.5 wks paid when baby comes so I can't call in sick, even though I want to...

[Greenie]

Sometimes you just can't go in. I'm sorry that you can't stay home when you really want to!!

I am hoping to stay home for a couple of months at least. I want to stay home all the time, but it's just not always possible. I have 4 days off per week, though, so it's a little better. SO has picked up a lot of the bills so that I can rest more and just take care of getting things ready.
