FRIED...The Offical Thread of Mondays (R)
 
So why is it that the weekends are supposed to be relaxing, yet I think I come to work on Monday more tired then when I show up on Friday? And why is it that we have one employee who ALWAYS has the "Monday Flu"?

Lindz928 10-03-2005 09:59 AM

I think it is because Monday suck ass and should be outlawed. I'm not tired, I just don't want to be here. Let me go home and have one more day of weekend!!!!

Really though, you always feel tired on Monday morning, but ask yourself this: If you were able to leave work right now, would you immediately stop being tired? My answer is YES! :)

RedRoseSAI 10-03-2005 11:10 AM

Yeah, I have a coworker that has the "Monday flu"...grumble. I REALLY, REALLY do not want to be here today.

M-O-N-D-A-Y S-U-C-K-S!

:D

Pecan 10-03-2005 01:43 PM

I totally agree, I can't stand Mondays!

ZTAngel 10-03-2005 01:45 PM

I almost didn't come in today. Considering Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, I really shouldn't be here at all but I have so much to do. This morning, I felt so sick but I forced myself to come in. Plus my dog was performing scenes out of The Exorcist all night so now I'm exhausted.

No clue why...I FINALLY got the recommended 8 hrs.

I've heard a theory on this...

The reason you're tired today is because you're feeling the sleep you got Saturday night. You should feel more rested tomorrow because you'll be feeling the sleep you got last night. The theory is sleep takes a day to set in, or something like that.

BetteDavisEyes 10-03-2005 03:28 PM

I. Hate. Mondays.

I suppose this would make sense, and explain why we are ALL always tired on Mondays.

But wait, this theory would mean that ideally, we should be going to bed at like 10 on Saturday night..... I don't like this theory anymore. :p

Ughhhh, I had a migraine today, so I didn't go to class.

so damn cool 10-03-2005 09:11 PM

I woke up after 15hrs of sleep.

I feel excellent.

Having rich parents is nice.

AOX81 10-03-2005 09:14 PM

I had a serious case of the Mondays today. :(

aephi alum 10-03-2005 10:37 PM

I just started a new job today.

A bad night's sleep last night + getting up at 5am + 2 hours on the commuter rail + 20 minutes on a very crowded subway + 1 cup of coffee instead of my usual 2 = I'm lucky I didn't fall asleep during new hire orientation. That would have made a great first-day impression. :rolleyes:

carnation 10-03-2005 10:48 PM

I. Hate. This. Monday.

1. We found out that an adoption we very much wanted to do may have fallen through.

2. I found out that a dear friend, who was practically my dad when I lived in Hawaii, died.

3. Then we found out that another friend died yesterday.

4. I went to the dentist because I thought I'd broken part of a molar on some food at school. Turns out my molars are fine and that it was probably part of someone else's tooth in my salad.

4. Aww hell, I coudl have gone ALL YEAR without hearing that last one. Geez. I thought the undergrads could gross me out. Turns out the award goes to a suburban mom in Georgia. lol.

carnation 10-04-2005 06:31 AM

No, the award goes to another patient of my dentist's. He said she bit down on something hard in a taco and something silver came out of her mouth. She showed it to the dentist, thinking she'd lost a filling. *It wasn't her filling, it was made of another material.*:eek: He thinks that somebody was making the taco and the filling fell right out of their mouth into it.

Thanks for the sympathy about the rest, though.

Ok, I feel like a jackass...the guy I was complaining about? Yeah, he wasn't in yesterday b/c his wife told him she wants a divorce. :(

Optimist Prime 10-04-2005 08:46 PM

I hate Mondays, I was supposed to have Six Sigma but the registration thing got lost in the mountain of paper work that is our office :(

Tippiechick 10-07-2005 08:25 PM

These days of the week threads are so ghey.

BetteDavisEyes 10-10-2005 03:53 PM

Oh Thank Go! I get to leave early today. YES!

Sister Havana 10-10-2005 04:00 PM

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
No it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need oh oh oh oh

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down, down, down
Shoot it all down

And now the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like, I don't like
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like, I don't like
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

Well, we cram and do everything on the weekend because we are not able to do this in the weekday. So by the time Monday hits, we are exhausted! Or at least I am....LOL but I feel you on this..

aephi alum 10-10-2005 08:26 PM

Ughh. So my ID card quit working this morning. :mad: Worked fine on Friday - couldn't get in the building today. This required me to take not one, but two walks over to the main building, eight blocks away, where the card office is located. AND, I tested my card on my way out this evening, and it is still not working.

Nobody told me this was part of the company's exercise plan! :rolleyes:

ETA: I also nearly got stuck in a broken elevator...
