Mondays! Do they live up to their Name?
« on: April 21, 2008, 04:17:16 PM »
Well I must say....YES!  Today anyways...has not been a good day at all.  Things at work were all messed up, that I will have to tell about later.  To end the afternoon off adn to start the evening, My youngest...Annie....broke her left arm.  We just got home and she has a cast all the way up to her elbow.  Poor thing...her bday is next week and she thinks its fun.  Give her a couple of weeks and she wont be liking it.  SO how do your mondays measure up???

Sorry to hear about your daughter bro.  Hope she mends quickly and painlessly.  Yeah, Mondays just have that "thing" about them.  Don't they?  But you just have to make the best of it I guess.  Every time someone brings up how Mondays suck I always think of that movie Office Space.  "Sounds like someone has a case of the 'Mondays.'"   ;D

Sorry to hear about your daughter Tim.  Glad she is taking it all in stride.    My Monday was just about the usual, but I AM surviving Mondays by reminding myself I only have 5 more of them till summer break,  YIPPPEEE

Sorry about your daughter Annie.

For me, Mondays are sometimes a relief. I can work and not be bothered with kid stuff and "honey do's".
As much as I love the little league, indoor soccer, tae kwon do, and (of course) golf when I can, sometimes the isolation of the office is a good retreat for me.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

Mondays like today are great. Some others, not so much. I was selling like a mad man today.

Sorry to hear about your daughter Timmmaaaayy.

                                                    Mondays are usually hectic for me, I have way too much work to do on mondays. This weekend I took friday off of work, and attended Torontos largest truck show, although the show was great, I had much more work than usual to do today. I almost wish I didn't take friday off.

Today was an average Monday.  The ones after a long weekend are the worst.  I've always heard that Monday is one of the least productive days of the week, and I believe it.

Timmy, Annie will be in my prayers.  Just thankful she is alright.

Annie is in my prayers, Tim.

Thanks you all.  Yes as soon as we got home from going out to eat...because Annie said she deserves to be taken out for dinner....oh brother...startign already..lol  but we arrived back home with flowers and balloons on the porch awaiting her arrival and a new sharpie marker for her cast.  She is milking it big time lol.
She is getting tired of school and is ready for a break..but for some strange reason she cant wait to go to school tomorrow...I wonder what it is????? LOL

Every time someone brings up how Mondays suck I always think of that movie Office Space.  "Sounds like someone has a case of the 'Mondays.'"   ;D

I thought of "Office Space" too when I saw this thread ...

Timmay Yes I lived in this ancient Mayan structure for a few month in early 2006. I paid around 1000 Pesos(100$) per week and I got free reign of all the grounds and ruins.

Timmayyyy,
My monday sucked um..... lemons! Stupid circuit kept dropping this morning and AT&T kept telling me there was nothing wrong. (On a managed network) So, third time I demanded a supervisor on the phone, he assures me nothing is wrong, and while I am on the phone 4 of my Terminals drop out. So I said, Riddle me this Batman, if nothing is wrong why did 4 of my terminals just drop out... again??? I told him that my Corporate office on my WAN dictated their managed network through a cloud system, so he better get his head out of the cloud and manage my damn network... then I politely hung up on him. Needless to say that was the beginning of a 10 and a half hour day that really didn't improve at all.
But on the other hand, still wasn't as bad as yours. Sorry about Annie, better hide the coat hangers and keep the blow dryer handy!! :)
