Monday Morning Blues
This morning I woke up early… I mean before the alarm clock early… looked at it, and decided, defiantly, that I wouldn’t get up until it went off… So, as it went off, in my hand, I switched it off and got up, thinking to myself, why couldn’t I have slept that extra fifteen minutes?
So it’s Monday morning, and as always, the first thing I see on Facebook is Monday morning blues comments from people. Why is it so bad that it’s Monday morning? Society has decided that it’s just not a good feeling!
Well I’ve been thinking about it. If we changed to a 3-day weekend, and had every Monday off, wouldn’t we feel just as bad about the Tuesday Morning Blues? Or does the fact that there is no alliteration make it less poignant on our human minds.
So what is in store for you on this blue, dreary Monday morning back at work? And I have to ask, if your job is that bad… why not change? I know it’s easier said than done, but surely the simple fact that you are looking would make you feel better, with a small sense of hope lingering around you. We spend over 30% of our natural lives working. Surely we should try to spend that time enjoying it?
Me on the other hand, I’m happy… It’s Monday… It all starts again today and as usual, the barrage of emails that have come in over the weekend put a smile on my face and give me a purpose this morning.
From emails complaining about Facebook, to people wanting us to cover their events… Even some new remixes that local DJs and producers have put together over the past weeks. I love it all, and it gives me a spring in my step.
Have a good day, and remember if you have Monday morning blues, maybe it’s time to look for a new job…
