The people on X, formerly known as Twitter, share in this agony and they’re using humor to cope. We’ve rounded up hilarious tweets about returning to work after a long break. If you’re struggling this week, read on for a few laughs:

Lap top Stands If You Like To Work (Or Watch Movies) Reclined in Bed
An adjustable lap desk with two cushions(01 of07)
Open Image Modal
With the ability to change heights, this lightweight lap desk lets you find the most comfortable angle for your wrists and neck. It can be used as a drawing or writing desk or can hold your computer or tablet, whether you're in the car, hanging in bed or working off the coffee table. Weighing less than two pounds, it's easy to take with you up or down stairs and is light enough to be used by the whole family.

Promising review: "I recently bought a new laptop, and it was getting warm when I put it on a pillow on my lap or flat on my bed, so I decided to get this so it could properly ventilate. I'm so glad I did. It's much more comfortable to use than I had expected. I love how easy it is to adjust. The cushions on the bottom feel nice, and the material keeps it from slipping around. I actually bought two by accident, but I'm keeping both because I want a separate one for my livingroom. It's exactly what I needed. Highly recommend this." Melinda Lloyd

Promising review: "No one had wrote a review, I guess I will be the first. This thing is awesome! I bought this for my dad who will watch tv and work on it laptop or tablet. The first thing he said was you better get your mom one of these, because she is going to try and steal it from me. This takes 4 AA batteries. This is nice because you dont have to charge itor another added cord that you will end up losing. The light is bright, but not crazy bright. Just enough to add light so can see what you are doing, but not enough that the person next to you will get a sunburn. :) You can take the light off and it has a little pocket you can put it in and it is out of the way. It doesnt feel cheap at all. The foam is nice. The mouse pad part will pull out on either side. Perfect if you are left handed or right handed." onthephone
