Sunday night blues - Why oh why do we have to work?

Overall I am not a negative person.  I always try to see the good in people and whatever I do, I try to do with passion and to the best of my ability. But tonight the Sunday night blues hit me hard. 


                                      

Perhaps it was the afternoon nap, but when I woke up, it hit me right between my eyes!  BAM!


Why does life have to be so hard...why do we have to work?  Why oh why oh why?  These thoughts took me straight back to the garden of Eden.  

If that damned snake did not tempt Eve with that forbidden fruit, then none of us would have to work! Just imagine if we still had the opportunity to live there?

Just imagine how easy life would have been....We would all have walked around naked without a care in the world. We would NEVER have had to worry about what to wear, or about the latest fashion. We would NEVER have had to worry about money, or what to cook for dinner...we could've just picked some fruit to eat....

Nobody would ever be overweight because sweets and chocolates would not have existed...ok wait, that is a bad example.

So tonight, I blame that snake.  That damned snake is the reason why we have to work today! Unfortunately we can't turn back time.  So tomorrow, we do like the little dwarfs in Snow white!

May you have a blessed week and may this week fly like the wind!


Sort:  

Work is like food. If you live to eat, bad things happen. If you live to work, maybe that's the problem. They say that if you love what you do, you never work a day the rest of your life. 👌

That is very true. I love my job....just don't feel in the mood for it right now, but tomorrow it will be fine again..lol!

Sunday Funday is always better than Monday Runday!

I work at home, so everyday of the week can be a work day for me, so I can have a bad mood and less motivation not only in the Sunday night, ma also in the Monday, Thursday or Saturday too. Yes, I really love my job, but we are humans and it's normal to have bad mood sometimes ^_^

I also work from home. I do think we are fortunate... at least I can work in my pajamas! Ha ha ha

I love to work in my pajamas!!! :D

Hi @giantbear. I thought the exact same thing many a times. And also do blame the snake, wish we had the choice then, that snake would have been dinner on an open fire....

How awesome! There is a meme for my thought. Wicked! Thank you so much. I can't stop laughing now.

I am off to bed now. Have a great week!

Does it have to be that hard? 😁

I like Mondays (one of the few people on Earth, who actualy do) because all starts later, I get faster in traffic as people tend to be late by 10 minutes, so the rush is delayed. Nobody buggs me and I can do my chores 😎

Also Mondays I rest after the weekend. Weekends are though 😋

The snake is one reason, but we can change it. Just do some smart choices for the next 5 years and move where it is cheap and you can live for pennies. No need to think about work. At least this is my plan, 5 years till I have something to sustain a lifestyle in a country with good food, good weather and almost nothing on rent.

What do you think about this idea?

Been there and done that...I am just silly. I work from home, but I still have to work. I live down at the coast in a little town and I get to see the ocean every day. I just don't feel like working tomorrow...lol...

Ok :)
I see. Then do the minimum needed and skip the rest. ;)

Ha ha ha😀 I might just do that tomorrow!

Pro tip: get you a job in that you interested in and what is like a hobby to you. The time will fly much faster and it isn't that hard to get out off bed in the morning. Cheers

I actually love my job. Doesn't sound like it today but I am privileged to work from home...so I have nothing to complain about actually...lol

ha! always got that Monday fever! 😩😝

Isn't it terrible. Hope you have a great week ahead!

So sorry you have to work! It is hard having the weekend to play then having to get back into the work routine again. I hope you have a good day at work and that it isn't too hard on you.

Thank you! How is your spider doing today?

Lol. It's still in its web so I think it's doing just fine. 🕷🕸😜

I believe the must can change into a cannot wait if you work on something you love, with meaning. If not, change the job until you find one with the characteristics as before :D

Yeah, I know that feeling when the blues grab your throat. I wish you a great Monday, alive with smiles and light.

Thank you I am sure that it would be great. Have a great day yourself!

O this made me laugh - I feel your pain

@giantbear - "Fractured my motivation" - LOL I love it! Nice musings about the Hate Monday mornings syndrome. Upvoted

like @bigskykilroy said, if you love what you do, then you will never work a day in your life. I think everyone questions what they are doing and what the point of their job is sometimes, we all long for that calling. Best advice I've received is to refocus not on the short term but the long term. 6 months, 1 year, 5 years down the road. If you cant see yourself doing the same thing now as in the future, maybe it's time to reevaluate and start thinking of something else you can do to earn a living. Have a good week

Haha! All you Monday to Friday people have to work today!
Monday is actually my Friday so it's two days off for me!

Thanks, my friend.....good post.
......upvoted and resteemed!
