Open thread: How are you coping with being back to work?

It’s back to reality for many today. You doing okay?

IT’S BAD ENOUGH returning to work after the weekend, but going back to work after the Christmas break has to be the worst.

You were becoming accustomed to lazing around in your pyjamas until 3pm, feasting on leftover turkey sandwiches, vegging out on what was left in the Roses tin and watching all Back to the Future movies back to back.

This is what life is all about, you thought.

However, no doubt that 7am alarm clock this morning hit you like a tonne of bricks.
