Nicky The Good

I hate this phrase with a passion. You literally are going to spend the rest of your life going back to work on Monday and yet people will still say it. Luckily for me I work from home full-time now so I don’t have to endure any dreadful elevator trips with a bunch of people who try to convince themselves that they like what they do. These people are the same people on LinkedIn that announce how ecstatic they are that they’ve been promoted to Senior Manager of Back End Programming for blah blah blah. Like, stop lying. You’re not ecstatic. You’re miserable. It’s okay, we know, you have to make money.

“I have such a case of the Sunday Scaries.”

What does that mean? Are you scared of Monday because it’s the start of the work week or are you having anxiety all day Sunday because the next day is Monday?

This is typical Corporate America jargon that was created to help people cope and it has literally never worked. You’re not scared, ya just don’t wanna go in. I’d much rather people just sack up in the elevator, look at the person to their left and right and say “I really don’t wanna fucking be here right now”. Everyone would look at them and say “Yeah, me neither, this sucks”

Luckily for everyone, there is a solution. Find a job you like. I know everyone isn’t going to land at their dream job, but you’ll also never get there if you settle and accept.

I say this from experience. I used to say “Sunday Scaries” and now I’d never imagine saying that. I like what I do. I ain’t scared of shit. You know what I’m scared of? My kid’s school having a delayed opening. Now that’s fucking scary. That’s a day ruiner.

Now sack up and get ready to hate your life from 9-5 tomorrow. But remember, you can hate it, but it sure ain’t scary.
