Stupid, uneducated, brain damaged... no matter which way you say it I think most good Americans will agree that Monday's are stupid. I start feeling anti-monday on Sunday night. Just knowing that my weekend is over is almost depressing. The thing is, it's not that I hate my job or that anything especially horrid happens on Mondays. I simply love the weekend. I love it so much that I resent Monday for being the day furthest from the weekend. I have compiled the top reasons that have led me to my hypothesis that Mondays are stupid:
1. As previously stated Monday is the day furthest from the weekend.
2. Monday is the first day of the week where my alarm goes off in the morning. I could go off on a whole separate tangent about alarms, but I will refrain. Let's just say I dislike alarms more than stubbing my toe or getting kicked in the shin. And Mondays are the worst because I am the least used to this abusive morning awakener (if that's not a word- it is now)
3. Mondays are the day of the week furthest from payday. The weekends are excluded because during the weekends you are distracted by fun and slumber and are not focused on pay.
4. Monday rhymes with Funday; a day which it is not. This means Mondays are filled with false hopes of fun due to the distinct rhyming correlation.
5. Mondays are the days where I have the most email at my work. I get a wave of anxiety when I open up my Outlook in anticipation that someone might have spent their weekend filling my inbox with crap that I have to deal with. Again I could digress into a typing rage about emails I get from clients, but I shall remain focused on the task at hand. Besides then I would be coupling all of the awesome clients and horrible ones together. Not nice.
6. Mondays have less than impressive television.
7. ... and generally even less impressive drink specials should you choose to partake
I shall leave you with these reasons. You are welcome to dispute them. Leave a comment.

"Monday rhymes with fun day--a day which it is not."
From now on, these are the first words that will run through my head on Monday mornings. I'm glad you put this sad truth in a concise, yet comical statement. I'll be upset when I remember that my hopes for the day are about to be dashed--but I'll chuckle out loud at the wording. Thanks Shenamer!
I am sorry thatI have not commented on this great blog before. Everything you stated about Monday's is true! SO depressing. I hate Mondays!
Okay - I admit I am a little behind on your blog, but I thought I would offer up some comments on this one anyway - since it is a Monday and you make some good points.
1. This affliction is otherwise known as "End of the Weekenditis..." at least according to the promos on USA, which try and get you to watch HOUSE, playing up the medical theme of the show. I am a frequent suffer of "End of the Weekenditis" myself. My anxiety hits on Sunday nights when I realize the beautiful weekend is over, and I still have to fold the laundry.
3. Sounds like you at least get paid every week, which is a plus. I myself only get paid every other Friday, which generally results in a "Steak" week and a "Cheerio" week, due to my utter lack of being able to stick with a budget.
5. My "to do" list at work on Mondays is also quite long - everything I didn't want to do on Fridays. The worst part is it takes a while to remember where things were left off, and alas I never catch up. Oh well - this will always be Monday's burden to bare.
6. Agreed, broadcast TV doesn't have much to offer on Mondays. Today happens to be a Monday, and there is nothing I really want to watch, especially since Heros has been sucking recently. Mondays generally become my reading night/finishing weekend chores night - watching tv is definitely more fun. Although, I must offer up the GREAT programming on Investigation Discovery Monday nights. I've just seen it all. :)
