This is how you say goodbye to the weekend
(in 8 steps)
When it's Friday afternoon, you stuff that boring blouse at the bottom of your bag, quickly run your hands through your hair to shake off the office look, and dash to a terrace with a cold bottle of wine to have good conversations with your favorites, all until Sunday evening ticks away the very last hour of your weekend. No matter how ecstatic your job is, the weekend is welcome. And with summery scenes on the horizon, they are even nicer, and sometimes you even add an extra day before or after. Therefore, here are the 8 steps you go through as that nice, warm, lovely, delicious, endless (oh no, not really) Sunday comes to an end. It makes your Monday morning a little easier. I mean, good preparation is half the work, right?
1. Denial
Which delighted monkey is making such a racket? But who? I got you. Oh god, it's my alarm clock. It's Monday.
2. Confusion
What time is it, what do I need to do, where am I, how fast do I need to shower, is there still breakfast, where is my office, what is my job again, can I still do it? Man man man, help.
3. Fear, fear, fear
OMG, so many appointments, so many emails, so much everything. I want to pull my blanket tightly over my head for the rest of the day, even though I can't breathe normally.
4. Desperation
I. Need. Coffee. Give. It. To. Me. Fast.
5. All-consuming shame
Before I gave in to those bottles, long nights, and dancing in the grass, I was at least a decent participant in working life. A textbook example of the ideal employee. Now that's gone, everything. It's over.
6. The little negotiator
Just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days until I can stick my toes in the sand again and lounge around like a lazy bum. I can do this.
7. Acceptance
Okay okay, left leg, right leg, head up, yuck yuck, brush my teeth really hard. You're just going to rock today. ROCK, I say.
8. Hope gives life
And as you maneuver yourself in the car, train, or on your bike, you chuckle at those ridiculous steps. Ah, lovely, those few days off, but now we're just going to kick some ass at the office again.
