Blue Monday

The Backwards Man · 18-01-2016 10:39AM #1

It's the most miserable day of the year. Well, so the papers say anyway. It doesn't seem any different to any other day to me, I got up, took the dog to the beach, did a bit of work, lit the fire and swept the floors. Having coffee and toast now. No different to yesterday, last week, or last month.

How's your Monday going so far?

How does it feel?

emo72 · 18-01-2016 10:41AM

It's dark overcast morning. Doesn't help.

The AH mods actually pay the OP several grand a week to keep us all entertained.
I honestly wish I was joking.

And mine Monday's been completely fine. But then again I'm all over the gaff with sleeping. So I wouldn't notice it if it was a bad day

Going to a Funeral later. Hopefully I can put the Fun in Funeral.

Absolutely fine Monday so far. About to head for a long walk and it's not raining.

I feel like a pig shat in my head.

I heard it was usually the 3rd Tuesday of January ?

dunno ... load of bollocks really ... as long as the sky is blue and crisp don't care how cold it is ..

The_Valeyard · 18-01-2016 10:49AM

It's Monday.

Monday is always a 'meh' day.

Today's Monday is no different.

F*ck Monday in general. Maybe I should write a song about it, hasn't been done before.

maudgonner · 18-01-2016 10:50AM

Slept through my alarm so I was late to work. But the boss arrived about 90 secs after me so I totally got away with it.

So far so good. :pac:

whiskeyman · 18-01-2016 10:51AM

Don't be too disrespectful mind, I hear people can often be incensed at funerals

That's usually a sign of good luck isn't it?

See, we're all having great Mondays. Where's the Daily Mirror article about us?

Reminds me of the time the undertakers kept going around in circles in the graveyard with a coffin.

They'd clearly lost the plot.

I'm off work for the next three Mondays and Tuesdays so mine is going great!

I've been up since half six! An hour to myself before I get the children out to school. I've done next to nothing since then so have to run around like a mad one trying to get the house organised before they come and wreck it again.

me_irl · 18-01-2016 11:55AM

January is the Monday of the year.

brevity · 18-01-2016 11:56AM

Monday's are grand, it's Tuesday's that are the bastard.

Agreed - I've always said that Mondays are clear about being a b*stard.

Tuesdays are schneaky Mondays in disguise! :mad:

I say that too, Tuesday is just a crappy limbo day of nothingness

sullivlo · 18-01-2016 12:06PM

I woke up on time, got ready on time, then the bus never showed up. So I ended up having to get the later bus. 10 mins late meant that I was 40 minutes longer on the bus because of traffic, which meant arriving in work 40 minutes later.

That's okay, because I usually arrive very early. But it meant a massive queue in the shop to buy milk, and a massive queue for the lift because all of the students are back.

Then, midway through an important experiment the fire alarm went off. So that's a ruined experiment.

And then the fire warden gave out to me for bringing a coffee down the stairs and said it would be my fault if someone slipped on it if I spilled it, and it would be on my conscience if someone died in a fire because of it.

So yeah. Great Monday.

redfacedbear · 18-01-2016 12:18PM

I found last Monday much harder than I'm finding today. At this stage, I think, I've just resigned myself to the fact that January is happening and I just have to get through it.

18-01-2016 12:21PM

I never minded Mondays so much. Tuesdays now, Tuesdays can go fcuk themselves.

Today is good. Was up at 6, went to the gym, came home, had tea and scrambled eggs and a green smoothie and was in work at 10. Sure it's only marvellous. And didn't I only go and make a beef stew yesterday for the lunch and a lamb stew for the dinner and I'm getting a load of new cycling gear tonight from a very nice man. So yeh. I like today.

Blue Monday
