The 10 ways to beat those post-picnic blues.

Are you one of the many tortured souls who made the trek home from Electric Picnic last night to face an awful Monday in work today? Feeling like a shell of a person after one helluva weekend and now quickly starting to regret every decision you made over the weekend? Too much booze, too much dancing and staying up until 6 in the morning does not make for an enjoyable Monday in work.

Fear not however as we understand exactly how you feel so have put together a little list of all the things you need to do to get yourself in tip-top shape – well maybe not tip-top, that might take a week or two.

1. Get yourself out of your office chair right now and go grab a breakfast roll. Make up some crappy excuse to your colleagues such as there’s no milk in the fridge and go stuff your face with a greasy, ketchup-filled sausage roll.
2. Grab yourself some Panadol while you’re in there- for obvious reasons.
3. You know what? You’re going to get hungry again soon so make sure you stock up on snacks and cans of fizzy drinks. Whoever said water will get you through a hangover has obviously never chased Tayto crisps with a tin of orange.
4. When you finally get back to your desk, log in to Facebook and check it sporadically over the course of the day just to monitor any awful photos of you being uploaded. The Fear will not disappear if a photo of you with garlic mayo all over your face emerges on social media.
5. Grab yourself a blanket – poncho or oversized scarf will do- and wrap yourself in it at your desk. Avoid all eye contact with colleagues and enjoy this slight comfort as it will be one of the only ones you have all day.
6. At 1 o’clock race out of that office like there’s no tomorrow and treat yourself t whatever greasy, sickeningly delicious food takes your fancy. A post-picnic Monday spares no time for healthy food.
7. Don’t even think about heading back into that office until the last second. When you do, rejoice because you’ve made it through half the day. The next few hours will FLY by, we swear.
8. Continue to avoid any chats all day and only look away from your computer when you’re looking for more snacks.
9. YESSSSSS! It’s finally feckin 5:30. You made it you mad thing. If you can do this, you can do absolutely anything at all!
10. Halo yourself a cab for the way home. Bus/Luas will just not cut it today. Get home, light the fire, get into your PJ’s and chill in front of Netflix until you inevitably fall asleep before 8p.m.
