How I Hate Mondays


So we all hate the start of a new work week. Well for me, depending on my schedule, it is either the start of a new work week or the continuation of one. Neither is pleasant for me. I have a hard enough time getting up in the morning, let alone facing another week of mundane, mind numbing nothingness. I am not saying my job is pointless because it isn't, I just hate Mondays. Simple as that.

Mondays to me are like sand in my underwear, they just annoy the hell out of me. There really isn't any substantial reason for my disdain for Monday's, but really what has Monday done for you?

It has done nothing, zip, zilch, nodda, the big fat zero for me. Oh wait I take that back, I once in a while get a three day long weekend because a holiday falls on a Monday, but other than that, Monday has done nothing for me. At least, for me Tuesday (depending on my schedule) is my day off and not a too bad day at work and I already have one day under my belt, so Tuesday is that much easier. Wednesday is hump day, and pay day so either way I'm half way through the week and I've gotten paid. Thursday, again depending on my schedule is my day off or the second last day to work before a very nice rewarding weekend off. Friday, doesn't need much explanation there...and neither does Saturday or Sunday...........but oh my goodness Monday drags on.

When I'm off on the weekend, I'm afraid that I'm gonna sleep in on Monday because I've played so hard on the weekend. When I work the weekend the same goes, but it's because I've worked so hard.
Monday just can't win in my book. Nothing good ever happens n a Monday, at least not in my life. Have you never herd the song "I don't like Monday's" from the Boomtownrats? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POl4vFp-5os)
Bob Geldof wrote the song after reading a story after reading a report on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California. She killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays."


So, I don't dislike them that much, but I hope you get the point...Mondays are good for nothing. Tuesday is always better.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah............

So, my hope was to write in this OFTEN, well I guess often is, whenever I feel like it. Seriously, I really did want to try and do this at least weekly. I guess that means that today is a great day to start...........just one problem, I'm a procrastinator.

Maybe this will become the one thing that brings my procrastination to an end.... I have spent many a year honing the skill, I am great at it. You name it, studying, writing papers, doing projects, breaking up with boyfriends, calling or writing people back, paying bills (and I had the money), even grocery shopping. I mean, anything you can do today, you can do it tomorrow, or the next day or even the day after that. Do you see my problem? It's not like I've got something better to do, I just choose to say "yeah, I'll do it later".

I put things off so long that I panic when the dead line hits....it does get done, and done well I might add, but there is a whole lot of negative energy and four letter words along the way. They say 21 times makes a habit, does that mean that if I write in this 21 days in a row, it will just become habit? I guess this is day number 1. Wish me luck and I hope to see you tomorrow.
