Greta Louise Tome’s life was a series of Sunday Fundays…until her first week at InStyle. Don’t let her golden-bronze glow fool you—inside, The InTern’s stomach was in knots, her heart was palpitating, and her mind was racing with absurd thoughts (you know the ones). Our veteran staff can diagnose that recurring dread as what’s adorably known as the “Sunday Scaries,” from the loss of glimmer in the eye or maybe the first gray hair, but there’s no need to panic: the foolproof cure to our weekly reminder of our mortality and banal existence is bottomless mimosas and mind-numbing screen time.

00:00I just found out this morning that I have the Sunday Scaries.
00:04Anyways, where should I begin?
00:06Hi.
00:07I called Hallie because I was really, really nervous.
00:10I know that she's been to the InStyle office before,
00:12and she was able to offer me some super sound advice.
00:15Tomorrow's my first day at InStyle.
00:16Is the team really nice?
00:18Like, they seem very serious.
00:19Some people are okay.
00:21Some of them, though, I don't know.
00:23Like who?
00:23Danielle.
00:24At one point, I thought I was gonna puke,
00:26and I didn't even drink yesterday.
00:28Hey, Jonathan.
00:29So I need help moving these files from left to right.
00:32Are you listening?
00:33Yeah, I just, I'm like a little bit distracted.
00:35No, you're like shaking.
00:35I went to like have a really nice evening last night,
00:37and like all of a sudden around 8 p.m.,
00:40I started getting this impending sense of doom.
00:42It was so weird.
00:43Around 8 p.m.
00:44Hands clammy the whole nine.
00:45I think you have the Sunday Scaries.
00:47What is that?
00:48It's what happens when Mondays roll around.
00:51You get a little sick, you get a little clammy,
00:53start sweating.
00:53You'll be fine.
00:54I'm just so relieved like there's a name for the way that I'm feeling.
00:57Yeah.
00:57And I just want to focus on like finding the cure.
00:59Work on the files.
01:00Do more work to forget about work.
01:02I was really intimidated by having to move things from one folder to another one.
01:06Normally, I have a manager or somebody do that for me.
01:08Life is all about learning new skill sets,
01:10and I'm happy I was able to accomplish it seamlessly.
01:12Hey, guys.
01:13Turns out I caught the Sunday Scaries.
01:14Jonathan told me like to do some work,
01:16and I would feel a little bit better,
01:17but I actually just feel so much worse.
01:19But you did the work.
01:20Yeah, I did the work.
01:22Good girl.
01:23How do you make it go away?
01:24You know what I tend to do is just like count the days until my paycheck hits my bank account
01:27again.
01:28And then I feel better.
01:29In case you're watching this, I love my job.
01:32Okay, Sally, this is Greta, our new intern.
01:34Hi, Greta.
01:35Welcome to InStyle.
01:36The pleasure is mine, Sally.
01:37I found her on TikTok.
01:38She's going to be great.
01:39Oh my God.
01:39Do you like Scarlett Johansson?
01:40Yes, one of my fave cover stars.
01:42No, everybody says that we look kind of like...
01:44Oh, I can see that.
01:46What's going on?
01:46Why are you shaking?
01:47I just found out this morning that I have the Sunday Scaries.
01:51You're not supposed to tell.
01:53Oh my God, is it contagious?
01:54No.
01:55Kind of, and apparently it's super common too, especially in this office.
01:58She's not well, Jonathan.
02:00Look at her.
02:01What?
02:01What's going on?
02:02I could have given my Sunday Scaries to Sally,
02:05but luckily she had tissues right there,
02:07so I was able to prevent it from spreading anywhere.
02:09Jonathan, she should go home.
02:11Look at my hands, Sally.
02:12She's unwell.
02:13It got really HR icky in here.
02:15Jonathan, this is getting frazzled and disorganized.
02:18Let's just go get a salad, lunch.
02:20Can we go someplace with like high protein?
02:22Sure, Greta, sure.
02:24Feel better, Greta.
02:25Thanks, Sally.
02:26Honestly, don't come back.
02:27Greta, the Sunday Scaries isn't actually real.
02:30It's a figure of speech.
02:31It's just a thing that we all feel.
02:33I'm sick.
02:34We should be working as a team in this office
02:35to find solutions for this illness
02:37instead of making people who are suffering feel worse.
02:40I really need you to focus on the work at hand.
02:42Jonathan, you're being kind of a dick.
02:43Since when do you care about what the intern...
02:45We may actually do their shit, Jonathan.
02:47I'm done here.
02:48Give her a break.
02:49You can be a real asshole sometimes.
02:50Come on, come sit by me.
02:52So, what is this?
02:53Tember feed up?
02:54I know.
