Well, the holiday season is well and truly over and the daily grind is back. Whether you slaved through Christmas in retail or hospo, or you’ve just headed back to the office, reentering work after a blissful time of stuffing your face and days at the beach is a terrible and daunting reality. At the very least, we can all take solace in the fact that everyone is feeling the same way.
So gather ’round and bask in our sadness together with these #relatable tweets. Because in the biblical words of Blink 182, work sucks, I know.

Getting In and Susan Comes At You With The Hot Topics
The worst part of #backtowork is this:
-“Happy New Year!”
-“Yes, Happy New Year!”
-“Good Christmas?
-“Yes thank you, it was lovely. You?”
-“Same, quiet. Back to the grindstone now though eh?”
-“Ha ha! Yes.”<REPEAT x 20 or until you actually choke to death on your own banality>
