And it's nice to be able to choose the best time to teach! You can enjoy a beautiful sunny morning, then teach when it's raining!
The Monday DREADS (shudder)
I get them around this time, and sometimes they're so bad that I don't sleep well that night. The only antidote is a glass of wine or two, one's in my hand now

Yep, I see it's just after 6 pm where you are. A fine time for dreads, I've found in the past. But I do hope that you aren't having the same problem I had = PROCRASTINATION!
I would take all of this work home with me, only to forget all about in on Saturday ... Then go through a prolonged dread attack from about midday Sunday, on .... THEN I'd either force myself to do it, late sunday night, or not do it at all & have a bad night's sleep ... followed by a yucky Monday!
Dream2020- When I was working, the worst time for me was 4 p.m. on Sundays, and September. I would sing "September Song" in my head, and get really bugged.

It is really nice. The best part is that I don't have to get up at a certain time, get ready, and go out in the bad weather. If it snows I don't have to get up earlier to shovel and clean off the car, etc... I truly needed a break :-)
I've solved horrible work procrastination problems by getting it all done by quitting time Fri. afternoon. I'm very philosophical about whatever doesn't get done by then. No, my dread comes from anticipating how intense the week is, between full-time work, schlepping the kid for this and that, and orchestra practice on Monday night, which is BAD when I haven't practiced. I have to admit that I am fighting the procrastination devil regarding practicing right now. that's why I'm on A2K, with my wine!!!!!
Dream2020
Same here. I remember the feeling so well :-(

Maybe a not so small part of procrastinations & the dreaded dreads was a feeling of resentment?: How come, after coming home pooped on Friday night from a hard week's work that you also had to use big chunks of your OWN time to do the job properly?
msolga
Exactly. I was one to take my work home with me and I hated it.
I get the monday jitters (not quite dread tho) at about 6pm. Funny that dream posted right then.

And what do you do when the jitters hit? Distract yourself, or just accept it? I often found myself Abuzzing at that time! Never had the discussions been so fascinating!
<grin>
I just catch myself getting edgy and shake my head. It goes away.
Oh, I forgot to mention a very important aspect of my Sundays: "Quality time" with my 3 darling cats!
If they don't get it, they DEMAND it!
Yep, big on the weekend agenda - pet-snuggling. Me and my two fuzzy buddies took a nap all curled up together today.
hmmmm, i must really like this new job. I haven't had the jitters since i started there. no nightmares either. i'm actually looking forward to tomorrow morning. i'll be learning something new again.
ahhh Sundays...sleep in <well, a bit>, jugs o coffee, and nap time with Zoey...most demanding on Sundays, which is okay..I usually give in.
I usually bake a big meal on Sundays as well, then I have leftovers for lunch/dinner for the beginning of the week.
I used to do the laundry thing on Sundays as well but, Ive since found the wash/dry/fold service that ends up only costing a few more dollars a week...makes nap time more convincing.
Sundays are great for determining to do/not to do. I piddle around alot on Sundays...prolly due to the whole Monday thing.

A new job that feels sane? Hey, that's great!

Piddling is a luxury to be savoured! Enjoy!
