I know that all of us experience this kind of day. I also know that we have different strategies on dealing this kind of day. I want to know what did you do if you does not feel like to work? What if you really need to be at work? Me, if i don't like to work I sometimes ask for leave or just make an absent. If I have to be at the office, that will be hard for me. Since most of my senses will coordinate with me. So what I do is I try to keep myself busy. Or sometimes I go to muLot or other furom sites where I can read and share first before doing my work. Sometimes I do some phonecalls and make the conversation long just to let the minutes pass. It was really a struggle for me I may say. Its your time to share!

I must say I like your topic.I know that everynight where's I work 3rd shift that I have to get up to that annoying alarm clock and oh ya go do that work thing all over again. blah! but ya know look at it this way your bills are not going to pay themselves and just look at it like I do, I look at it as " ok I'm going into work knowing that everything is going to not go right,but sometimes it does. I am money greedy so I also look at it like I'm going in getting my job done collect the the pay check when it's pay day and leave. I'm not at work to make friends horse around I am there for 1 perpose and 1 perouse only to take the money for the work I do and run. I have to be to work for 10pm every night and I hate going into that place cause no one gives a care they get away w/ alot most of them and it angers me for I am a hard worker and believe in getting the job done right. Most of them just joke around 1/2 the night and get baled out in the morning I don't get that they just look at me and say we know the job done. Ya know there right I can but common to want to go into that place and know what goes on I don't want to go in but have to. But yes I can relate to you just remember to keep your head up think positive and go for it.

I definitely understand your point. Its not greed to be called but whether we admit it or not its all about money. That's one of the big reason why we really need to work even for the days we don't feel like working. Thanks for the reply! Goodluck to your work!

When I do not feel like working, I would like to go to the office next door to join my colleagues to stay and chat with them for a little while, but I won't stay long because I will come back to work again at my table. Usually a short conversation helps me to come back and get concentrated in my work again. Thanks, ayessa.

I usually suck it up and try to focus myself. I know that the day will be over and I'll get over it. I try to think of things that would inspire me to gp to work. It usually helps a lot when you have a goal in mind.

Honestly, if I don't feel like working, I get my 1 day vacation leave since we are allowed to get one every month. The most effective way for me is to get a massage then dine out later just to relieve my stress. That is pretty much I do when I don't feel like working. Cheers!

Your advice seems good but a little expensive though. Thanks I'll try it some other time.

Hi if i feel not to go to work, i still push forward and make to be in my work place and try to cope up the reason for for not interest in work. as you aware that our first home is work place and second is our home. so you have more to depend on the our friends at work place rather than stay out of the office.

Me, I can usually make up some kind of excuse to get out of working, but that's only if I'm in a really terrible mood. Most of the time though I'll just get over it and try to make it through the day. We all need a day off once in a while. :)
