Monday Strikes

Garfield had it right. Mondays suck. Even when you don't work outside of the home, nothing ever seems to go right on a Monday.



Mondays just seem to overwhelm you most weeks. I think it's because, whether you work a job or work at home, you don't do as much on the weekends as you do during the work week. Then Monday rolls around and all the things you hadn't finished the week before are sitting there, on your desk, waiting to be done. Plus you have the pile of new work. Mondays you inevitably start out behind.


Add to that, you're usually relaxed during the weekend. You're calm. Then Monday rolls around and WHAM, tense. Work work work. Things to do. No more lounging on the couch or the beach. Time to get things done. If you aren't relaxed, you've done things. Usually fun things. You went on a trip, to a concert, a fair. Picnics, parties and playing games. This means that you need recovery time! You need time to kick back and relax, maybe even time to let the hangover fade. But no. WHAP! Monday.

There is at least one good thing about Mondays. Everyone has them. Yes, we can take solace in the simple fact that we do not suffer alone, and if we're lucky, some other sucker gets the worst of it!
