Things That Suck More Than Mondays

Ugg. How about:

• Heading off to work on Monday knowing you only finished a fraction of the things you needed to, over the weekend.
• Leaving the house a disaster on Monday morning, knowing you'll be in no mood to deal with it when you get home from work.

Jack Johnson sings a song where he hopes "this ole train breaks down" because he wants off... yeah. I'm so there.

Happy Monday, though. Looks like a sunny one, here.

Manic Monday?

I couldn't get my head around any "things that suck" to write about today. Sure, I could bitch about the weather and how sick I am of snow (and clouds in general) and definitely wind. Or I could whine about my crazy work schedule for the next two weeks. And God knows I'm not very happy about some changes and issues I'm having with a publisher right now.

But you know.... 'Fuscius and I both have (mostly) steady jobs, we can feed and clothe our kids, we got another load of firewood to keep our house warm, and I've still got a little Cadbury creme egg in the corner of my mouth (yes, I'm writing this Sunday night instead of Monday morning!). We're much better off than lots of people. We've got great friends nearby, lots of family (enough that we avoid some of them whenever possible, LOL), we're healthy - health and dental insurance only a couple short weeks away, woohoo! - and I've got a brand new laptop battery so I can keep on churnin' out books. Heck, yeah. It could be much worse.

So no bitching and whining this Monday.

Things That Suck More Than Mondays

This one's a real bugger for me. The sun hasn't showed its face around our house in like 4 days. Not good. Without further ado, this week's list, all worthy of the Dyson Award in my opinion:

• Rain in the winter time. Rain + snow=slush = a big sloppy mess it's impossible to drive through
• SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - think I've got a mild case
• When your mom invites you on a trip to Mexico but you can't even get your life together enough to get a damn passport, let alone schedule all the logistics necessary to make it.
• When something gets put on the cover of your book (and its listing) because you had NO IDEA what the heck was going on.
• Trying to actually get the books you want in the correct ebook format for your fancy shmancy digital reader. It really shouldn't be hard! I'm not a techno-tard. At least I don't think so...
• Listening to somebody else's whines when you've got your own Monday issues to deal with.

Happy dealing!

Things That Suck More Than Mondays

Why break tradition? Here are just a few things worse than today:

• Finding out your favorite TV show won't air this week (not even a re-run)
• Accidentally deleting something (permanently)
• Viruses (computer and biological)
• Cute shoes that hurt your feet
• Washing that brand-new pair of pants you've waited months to buy, only to have them shrink
• When you discover you've been going around all day with a colorful piece of food stuck between your teeth

Do your Monday, but don't let Monday do you in.

Additions to the Monday Suckdom

As millions of students, teachers, and various other school staff head back to class after their holiday break, this Monday will rank right up there with the first one after the spring time change. So, without further ado, let's put things in perspective with a few more Things That Suck More Than Mondays:

• Having to put your last twenty INTO the ATM to make sure that one remaining check clears.
• Using the Wal-mart giftcard from gifts you returned, to buy milk, eggs, and bread.
• Subzero temperatures
• When the "new" episode of your favorite show is nothing more than patched together pieces of old reruns. (a la LOST)
• PMS
• Running out of printer ink (and you've got no more cartridges on hand, and naturally when you go to the ONLY STORE IN TOWN that carries them, they are out. Naturally.)
• Oversleeping (I bet lots of folks are with me on this one today!)

Stay warm, look at the comics section, and for God's sake, wake up! :)

Happy Monday to ya's.
