Heading back to work after the holidays is like taking a cold splash of water to the face. Instead of blissfully not knowing what day it is, youre painfully aware that its a meeting-packed Tuesday. Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media, youre now scrolling through hundreds of unread emails. Instead of pushing off a task until next year, the reality of 2024 is here.
The people on X, formerly known as Twitter, share in this agony and theyre using humor to cope. Weve rounded up hilarious tweets about returning to work after a long break. If youre struggling this week, read on for a few laughs:
Does anyone remember the password to my office computer. And also a single aspect of how my job works.

I can't believe we can just have all those days off and then suddenly it's over and we have to go back to work? Just out of nowhere? What the hell man that isn't right at all
