Musings of a week long vacation

You know that you’ve started to fall into the working class category when a week off work feels like nano-seconds. After the Ied Fit’r vacations coming back to work again seemed like military grade torture to the brain. I was completely fried the entire day along with most of my colleagues. Although most of the seemed to be on some sort of auto-pilot. They could actually work and stay late at the office! I mean how crazy is that on the first day of work?

So I have discovered there are about 4 groups of behavior occur post vacation at the office:

1. Wanders to each desk in search of post holiday treats and striking conversations with random people when they spot food that they want.
2. Searches for people to joke around with and just enjoy the best of the rude awakening. This often leads to fun bullying of colleagues that you haven’t seen in awhile.
3. Gets right back into normal work behavior and tries to stimulate high level discussions. These people are rare and usually stand out the most because they move and speak quicker than everyone else. However the discussions usually turn into a different session of joking around with group number 2.
4. Zombie mode. People that just keep looking at the time waiting for 5pm when they can finally be relieved from their misery and enjoy life once again.

So guesses to which group I was in? Yup, I was definitely in zombie mode. I tried my best to seem intellectual and contribute in some discussions but my brain just was not functioning properly. Hopefully today will be better and I will be able to function properly.
