11 people who had a serious case of The Fear this morning

The first Monday of January. We’ve been expecting you.

IT’S THE FIRST Monday of January, and that can only mean one thing: The Fear has hit Ireland on an almost catastrophic scale.

And some people had it worse than others:

1. Like this guy who was so late he resorted to some interesting hygiene tactics

Seen a man brushing his teeth while stopped at a traffic light this morning. Where did he get the water from? #backtowork

2. When this dirty job had to be done

Least favourite job of the day ... Turning off the 'out of office' message. #backtowork

3. The sleep last night reminded this poor guy of school

Last night's sleep was equivalent to the night's sleep you had before going back to school after your summer holidays #TheFear

NOOOOO.

4. The work clothes didn’t fit properly

These work clothes have shrunk while I was off for those 10 days eating. I must have a word with the dry cleaners #backtowork

Thanks, Christmas. An extra layer of fear.

5. This person was detangling Christmas stuff from real life all morning

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

6. This person witnessed the greatest U-turn in office history

Get into the office and someone is already leaving:
Me: Had enough?
Colleague: Instead of my work laptop I packed placemats.
Me: Wow.

7. Insomnia was playing tricks on everyone

Whoops!

8. Alarms looked like this

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

9. Conversations were the same everywhere

That feeling after having answered the question "how was your Christmas?" for the 389th time before 11am #backtowork pic.twitter.com/EBABhYL7rB

10. This person was lucky to be arriving in the right place

It's the first day #backtowork after 10 days off. They should be pleased I even remembered where the office is let alone what I do.
