                                    Maybe Your Signs Look Like This?

  1. I don’t care.  I don’t care about your budget shortfalls, your documentation or your workload.
  2. When I work all day and get nothing done.
  3. To get through the day I promise myself I will sneak home early to nap.   P.S. that never happens.
  4. No, I don’t think you understand, I really don’t care.
  5. When I would rather schedule a colonoscopy than attend traditional office rituals.
  6. The dark side is winning over rainbows and unicorns.
  7.  I’m opening a big whoop ass can of “LACK OF MOTIVATION.”
  8.  I am going to EAP because of work.
  9.  Bored: same thing different day. My giddy up is gone.
  10. I often fantasize what my severance package and retirement would be like and if I can ever really retire.
  11. Difficulty working with Management and I am Management.
  12. Disillusioned that my work is valued.
  13. Irritability… I don’t want to hear about the crazy antics of my co-worker’s chickens anymore.
  14. Sarcasm IS the only service I offer.
  15. Stuck: Should I stay or should I go now?
  16. I would rather work on this list than work.
  17. I’m praying for a snow day every day all day.
  18. If I have to fill out another meaningless document…think “TPS Report” (Office Space).
  19. I actually work on Fridays (no one else does) and I’m the one who is burned out.
  20. I really just don’t care.
