Monday:
I am relaxed and refreshed from a solid forty-eight hours of sleeping/goofing off/drinking/playing video games/laughing and maybe even refraining from doing fun things because it's the weekend and I don't have to do ANYTHING if I don't want to. Bring it on, Monday! I LOVE EVERYTHING!
Tuesday:
Hey, it'll be OK, lobby full of angry customers. It's just pizza. Maybe if you didn't start bitching on Monday like everyone else, you'd be in a better mood.
Wednesday:
Man, why am I the only one here during the day. This place is understaffed and I don't enjoy being behind all day. It can't be good that I've started to resent every single customer that I talk to. I'm just gonna crash so hard when I get home. Fuuuuuhhhh...
Thursday:
OK, only one more day of this shit and then it's the weekend. But I don't even know how I'm going to make it through nine hours of work today to get to the weekend so I can WHAT?!? OH MY GOD IT'S ONLY THURSDAY. WHY!!!!!??!?!? WHYYYYYYYYYY why why why why why WHY!!! GOD DAMMIT!
Friday:
I'm quitting. I am seriously going to quit. What if I just got in my car and drove back to my apartment. Or drove to Canada. I'll just go be a lumberjack. Make my own hours, take a few whacks at a tree, take a sandwich break, go home. What are they gonna do? Tell me I have to come back? I don't have to come back. I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING EVER. EVERYBODY LEAVE ME ALONE.
Saturday:
[Stare at computer screen for hours on end, yet somehow completely ignore .txt file with my constantly lengthening to-do list. Watch cartoons. Forget to eat lunch until 7pm. Stay up too late playing ridiculous flash games meant for 12-year olds.]
Sunday:
[Get up super early (10:00am) and go eat an unnecessarily expensive lunch as "fuel" for all the errands I'm going to run today. Get stuck in traffic on I-5. Text Indiana friends and brag about the weather here. Give up after one errand. Go home and waste time with roommates. Stay up until 3:30am for no reason.]
Conclusion
You're wrong, and Mondays are awesome.
As much as I see your point and appreciate Thursday's thoughts, I disagree.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have inspired a post on my own blog.
Also, if you want to be a lumberjack in Canada, I would support that. I love maple syrup.
The best part about this post? The fact that you have a to-do list.
ReplyDeleteI'm freakin' ORGANIZED. Stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteI've considered becoming a lumberjack. But then I figure I'd have to get a pet ox.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I think about feeding time.
And then I realize I'm better off just joining the circus.
But only as a traveling freak - anybody else would encounter animal feeding time.
And then I'd just be back at my original problem.
Sara's bro. That's rad.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of Fridays myself and think Mondays can suck it, but you do have some good points here.
