    Love them or hate them? Or are you totally ambivalent to the whole new week thing because you're so filthy rich or filthy poor that monday is just another day to you?

    I'd love to think of Monday as a fresh start and all that but no... it's a day that's simply 5 days too far from Friday for me.

    Don't mind this Monday morning because I didn't drink all weekend so I'm as fresh as a daisy.

    Overall it's 50/50.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I would agree with Brenda Ann Spencer on this issue.

    It's bad enough for me to be in worrk so early but worse knowing some people don't appreciate how wonderful lie-ins are, I'd never be awake so early on a day off!

    Love it... only for the fact that I can get into the air conditioned office to cool down for a few hours!

    What a great song.
    It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?
    You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

    Is that what it's about? Ugh. I’m not playing that again.

    monday morning is crap when you have to cycle 4KM to work in the pissing rain :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 daragh077


    Tuesdays are worst!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭LilMsss


    Monday is not a good day ... everyone is stressed going to work, queuing for bus/train tickets, and especially not on a dull, dank wet July morning like this.

    In saying that, I'm not a big fan of Sunday either!!!

    Stat of the day: Monday is just as close to Friday as Tuesday is.

    Mondays make me glad i'm on the dole. But sad that I spend Sundays drinking cider :(

    I'm off all week.

    It therefore looks like any other grey, miserable day through my window.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭omahaid


    This weekend I behaved myself, got up at 9 a.m. sat and sun, no booze, went jogging, loads of housework. As a result, this morning didn't bother me at all.

    Compare that with last weekend. On the booze for most of it, plenty grub, pints on Sun night along with the horrors. Monday was a nightmare.

    Even though I had a boring weekend, Monday isn't actually too bad. Lesson to be learnt methinks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭VinnyTGM


    Just woken up, off this week, this is one Monday I like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,811 ✭✭✭Gone Drinking


    Doesn't bother me this week because im off to Spain on a stag on thursday, with 30 odd people.

    Boo yaah

    Usually, can't stand Mondays.

    Mondays are the worst, not a big fan of Tuesdays either but Tuesdays are only a piss stain on the front of your jocks compared to Monday's full blown 'shart' on your kaks!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008


    Waking up on Monday is A-Ok with me, as it means the hideous limbo that is Sunday is over for another week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    I like monday mornings. Not a bother in the world. Come on everyone its a good fresh start to another week. Could be the best week of your life. Do lets be positive chaps. Positivity has made me the man i am today.:)

    Oh & i usually knock back a litre of vodka on a monday morning. Keeps me going till lunchtime whiskey-break.

    Good thing i don't have a car. Or a home. But i have a good sturdy cardboard box & a nice bench in the park. Happy days i just found a half eaten big mac in a bin. Lunchtime! :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    Sundays are ruined by the niggling thought that Monday is around the corner 'better iron that shirt', 'must go to bed early', 'shave the weekend beard'.

    Yet it is acceptable to complain about Mondays. People wade into work, huff and puff about it. Yet there is good banter about everyones weekend antics, a bit of slagging and scandals.

    But Tuesday is the real killer. No one can use the excuse 'im wrecked from the weekend' on a tuesday. People have already told their stories yesterday and no-one does anything of interest on a Monday. Mondays would be alot brighter without Tuesday!
    Clearly the government are to blame here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Mondays normally fly by but Tuesdays are normally the real killer. Truth be told though when I was in a job I wasn't happy with I was miserable till Thursday evening when I would go on the beer and then Friday would be spent in a hungover fog until I was able to leave and go to a pub again. Sometimes I just took Friday off.

    And did things get better when you changed jobs? Sometimes I think I would be happier doing something else and then other times I'm not sure.
