At every stage throughout my life, I’ve grown to hate Mondays with a passion. But particularly Monday mornings.
Whether I’ve been at school or work, whether it was before or after I got into IT, whether I’ve been in the UK or Australia, no matter where I’ve been, I think the only time I’ve ever enjoyed a Monday is when I’ve been on holiday.
I don’t think I can book every Monday off work, although I would love to work Tuesday to Saturday. Mind you, then I’d probably grow to hate Tuesday.
So, the quest has begun to find a way to enjoy Monday. This isn’t just for me – well, it mostly is, but maybe you’ll find a way to enjoy Monday too.
Please post your ideas for enjoying Monday in the comments below. The best ones will win nothing at all, except for that rather satisfying level of… satisfaction… that occurs when you come out on top. For no real reason at all.



If I’m not running late (which happens more often than not), I like to stop at the convenience store and pick up a big gulp soda and some junk food for breakfast. Not a great breakfast, and probably part of why I can’t lose weight, but it gets me through.
Also, I have wildly inappropriate music on my iPod, which I listen to while I work. As long as I don’t start singing out loud, I’m good.
Hey Kirsten. I like listening to music too, and I did that today. I also found some more ways to enjoy Monday, which I’ll put in a new post.
