Anyone Else Hate Going Back to Work After the Honeymoon?

Rant

I'm having like, a really hard time concentrating or having a good attitude. I don't dislike my job and it's pretty cushy but since getting back I'm like...eff this man. I just don't care, I'm bored! I'd rather be doing my post wedding crafts!! So that's my first world problem of the day.

Omg me TOO. First day back today and it's tough. I'm trying to tackle emails but I just have no focus. We had a 2 week break after the wedding before leaving and that was hard too but I had stuff to do. Now I'm just jet lagged and over it. I'm also -33hrs of pto now until August so no more time off for me anytime soon.

What are the post wedding crafts besides thank-you notes?

Scrapbooking, organizing photos once we get them back, framing them for family, putting corks in shadow boxes, etc. Then some non-craft things like all the legal documents and getting stuff switched over.

It's post-holiday blues amplified by post-wedding blues - absolutely to be expected.

Thanks :) I figured something like this would happen, but sooner. That's one reason I have these crafts lined up.

Yes. I had a makeup exam today (my professor let me take it a week late, thankfully, as we were on our honeymoon when it was scheduled). I had 2 papers due Saturday, and my first day back to work was Friday.

I'm usually very upbeat & motivated. I could not be bothered to give a rat's a$$ about any of those things mentioned above. I think it's just mental exhaustion.

That and the fact that I would rather be spending time with my husband.

Exactly how I feel

Haha, I purposefully left myself a giant task list of work I like to do. I work in a lab and this particular set of tasks is almost like a video game and provides quick (relatively) results with a high success rate. Throw in co-worker friends asking for wedding photos and stories, and work has been fun since I got back from the honeymoon April 20th.

Once that pile of fun work disappears though...

Yup. We're doing a mini moon in Lake George for the weekend into the early week (Friday night wedding) and probably going back to work that Thursday if I had to guess. We're planning on Vegas at some point in 2018 so we can save money and really go hard, but waiting and working before that is gonna be hell.

Same here! Where I used to spent my time at work updating my wedding pinterest board, I'm now looking at scrapbook inspiration. Sucks being back at work so much after 3 weeks off.
