We've done it. We've circled back.

None of us wanted to come back after the holidays, but here we are, chugging along like the little engine that could. Most of us, upon returning to the workforce after the holiday break and the new year had completely forgotten how to do our jobs.

Although we've been doing the same monotonous tasks for the last few years (with no talk of a raise and a massive increase in responsibilities), our brains threw those memories out the second there was roast turkey on the table. Like PTSD survivors, our brains just toss the memories that were causing us stress, leaving us with a sinking feeling and nowhere to place it.

Suppose we didn't do our job every day? What would happen? As we sit back at our desks, already planning our next vacation and PTO time, we wonder how much we really even need this job. So if you're like the rest of the employees on the payroll, and you came back from vacation ‘rested and recovered' with eye bags, crows feet, and a bad case of the Mondays, keep scrolling for a LOL that'll give you a chuckle on the clock, reminding you to take a wee break from your most urgent work tasks today.
Because procrastination is the highest form of self-preservation in the workplace.
