Who Loves Mondays?
I grew up watching Garfield cartoons on TV, and I still read Jim Davis’ syndicated strips on the local papers. What I like about this cat is that he’s just about as human as any person. He hates Mondays. And he doesn’t even work!
And it’s worse for people who actually work, and who actually have to go see the pointy-haired boss every morning (okay, I’m jumping to another cartoon I’m fond of, which is Dilbert). After two days of blissful rest (or recreation), it’s back to the daily grind.
But I tend to Think Mondays are not that bad at all. Somehow it’s a day when everyone’s more or less relaxed. It’s not as hectic and stressful as the media would have you believe. It’s the beginning of a fresh new week, and people want to start it right, and people start their workweeks refreshed from their weekend escapades (or two-day hibernation).
Mondays are actually the day when the pointy-haired boss seems to be in a jovial mood, or at least it is in my case. He greets everyone a good morning when he comes in, and asks about our weekends. How nice, right? It’s not like the Wednesday rush (when everything’s just starting to peak up) or the Friday cramming session when the deadline was yesterday.
And as for blogging, Mondays are a start of yet a new week. For me, I usually try to work on new ideas and new resources for blog posts on Mondays. It’s the start of the week, and I try to make it work out right.
Are there any Garfields out there? Or do you love—or at least like—Mondays, too?
