Monologue for Monday
Gawds, Monday again tomorrow. I think staying in at home for more than 24 hours on a weekend can do things to your head... like make you afraid of Mondays. I'm dreading it like hell right now.
I know, EVERYONE hates Monday, unless you're one of the lucky shits who get to work at home, whenever you feel like it. Although maybe not having a Monday to dread about has its downsides. For one you don't get to focus all that work-hatred energy on anything. I mean, if Monday is just like any other day to you, then you just might end up hating every day of your week. You end up feeling that you're not getting any breaks. No time-off. No TGIFs!
Whereas for us who suffer from the Monday blues, we just have to deal with the gnawing impulse to make a run for it and cross to another timezone where Monday and all its attending disasters can't catch up with us, for a little more than 24 hours. After that, it's relatively smooth sailing for the rest of the week. And we can actually look forward to the weekend, and sometimes that's just enough motivation to help us jog along and get our jobs done as fast as we can.
And for the more optimistic kind, Monday is that day that can be considered the "blank slate day." You know, it's the start of another gruelling week, when we have to step in to the arena of our own personal day-to-day struggles. We roll up our sleeves, flex our muscles, and prepare to do battle. Monday is when we can really, really feel that the day is just beginning.. the day "with no mistakes in it yet." Sure we may have fucked up that big presentation last week and majorly pissed off the boss. But it's Monday. It's a fresh start to a new week. And it's the day of all days when we can feel that this time... we'll definitely do better.
Hehe.. what am I doing pointing out the good side of Monday? Psyching myself up for tomorrow? Hahaha! Maybe. But still. Despite everything I've said, Garfield still has it right. I hate Mondays.
