Monday’s. Now a lot of people, rightly, complain about Monday’s. It is the start of the working week, when you get up on a Monday morning you have 5 whole day’s work ahead of you, what is there that is good about Monday’s? I beg to differ though. I don’t think that Monday is the worst day of the week. That accolade I think should go to Wednesday. Wednesday has nothing what-so-ever going for it.
Ok I accept that 90% of people are not in their dream jobs and don’t jump out of bed in the morning with morning wood about the thought of going to work, but hey, that’s life. In most work places you will have a couple of mates that you can have a chat to, see what they did on their weekend and generally enjoy their company whilst you spend the next 8 hours or so of your life sitting with them. Now on a Monday there is always a good story about the weekend to catch up on. Maybe you went out for work drinks on Friday night and big Clive in accounts tried it drunkenly on with Michelle from marketing and you have to rib him about it. Maybe they went home together and you want to find out the gossip?!?! Unless you work from home by yourself, when you know exactly what your co-workers did on the weekend there is normally something good to have a laugh about to help make the morning pass a bit quicker.
Once the initial talk is out of the way and the obligatory checking of newspapers and websites (still no free advertising!!) has been done then the chances are you will have a bit of work to do. Everyone prefers to be busy. It is seriously boring having nothing to do and clockwatch. If you are busy then you can blink and 3 hours have gone by and it’s lunch time or maybe even time to go home. This is what Monday brings to the table. At 4 o’clock on a Friday any big job that comes in unless incredibly urgent can ‘wait til Monday.’ There is a job already to be doing, something to keep you occupied and you haven’t even begun the day.
After work you just want to go home and relax. A nice meal and a beer is perfect on a Monday night, on the sofa with your partner, watching rubbish on the tv. You are allowed to do these things on a Monday as it is Monday, that’s what it is therefore.
No fast forward to Wednesday. It is right slap-bang in the middle of the week. You still have two full days at work after today! Yes you can still talk to your mates at work but it’s mainly about what happened last night or what was on the tv. There is no funny stories from the weekend that can keep you going for a couple of hours before the work kicks off. You are straight into work from the minute you get there and if you are not busy my god it’s a long day. On a Monday you feel nice and refreshed from the weekend, on Wednesday you have been at work for 2 days and your body is starting to yearn for the weekend but as stated it has 2 FULL DAYS TO GO. Then there is the decision about the evening. Do you go out and have a couple of cheeky drinks, knowing that potentially it could get messy. If you do then you have to muscle through Thursday and Friday. It’s not like Thursday when you can go and get yourself nicely toasted and only have one day to suffer through. If you don’t go out though are you going to be bored of just sitting at home doing nothing watching tv. Oh the dilemma, just another reason why Wednesday is so crap. So happy Monday to you all and I hope you enjoy it more now that you have read this. That is the thought for today, tune in tomorrow for something new. Laters
