The Monday Blues

Today I actually feel like I have the Monday blues. It is a statutory holiday of Truth and Reconciliation here in Canada. It is a time to pause and reflect on our indigenous people who have endured to much over the generations from those of us who came from other countries. I think that it is good to have a day to stop and pause. But working today-ugh. I don't like to complain but I have never worked as hard as I did today. And on Mondays I have to work an additional 30 minutes for my slant shift as I finish early by 30 minutes on Thursdays-that did not help 1 little bit. Tomorrow I go to a new team and answer to a new team manager. It is actually the team that I worked on until last November, I begged to go back to that team, this team is snotty and unprofessional. I am looking forward to better interactions with my peers beginning tomorrow. How was your day today? ~Photo is mine

Oh, Julia, I didn’t realize you weren’t as happy with this group as your last group. I’m glad you are going back to the other one.

@AmbiePam Yes, I did consider quitting all together as a result of being so unhappy working with the other team and that terrible manager.

It has been a very very difficult year these past 11 months. I feel so happy to be able to work with true professionals. Now I can truly soar.

Wow! I think you have a very hectic schedule. I hope you will have a much better working environment with your new team. God bless. I am about to sleep at this moment, I just log on to my computer the afternoon yesterday until this morning, but I am about log out in a few minutes.

I am so sorry you had to work on a holiday and Mondays are all the time very hard days. Today you are back with your old team and you will feel a lot better from now on. My Monday was not too bad, sunny afternoon that helped to lift my moral a bit.

I look forward to working with the new team. The first 5 days of the month is chaotically busy, and I will not have alot of interactions with them as a result, but next week I will. I am happy that you had some sunshine yesterday, it lifts the spirit.

@Juliaacv - You will be a lot better now that you do not have to deal with that unprofessional manager. Today is cloudy and the air is chilly.

I think the way most countries treat the indigenous people is terrible. And we all ought to stop and remember we weren't here first. Monday has been sobering, seeing all the devastation in our part of the world.

I agree, we need to break that mentality of who was here first. We are all here, so get along. I am so sorry for the devastation in your area.

Today was not great really. Still raining and I didn't sleep well last night..so was tired and not in a very good mood. At least I finally seem to have my insurance woes resolved.

I can relate to that, I am having a difficult night for sleeping tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be a charm.

This week I will not have alot of interactions with my team as we are extremely busy the first 5 days of the month, but next week will improve and allow for more interactions. Now I can soar again.

Mondays are not usually easy days for me. Mostly because I wake up late or with hangover. However that does not usually deter me from working well!

I am relieved, my former manager was very unprofessional and it cascaded down to the team.
