I'm not even sure what this is about.

Moved to AH.

Dave!

I'm pretty gloomy today

GhostInTheRuins

Yeah me too.

AngryBadger

I'm great today, although I didn't get much sleep last night, I think that was due to my body becoming re-sensitised to caffeine after I stopp drinking coke!

Still, no sleep sucks big hairy donkey balls.

I woke up late and was an hour late for work

Pretty crap Monday for me.

Someone should do a song about how miserable Mondays are, and why they hate them.:(

Woke up at half six today, and its absolutely bucketing. Walked the gf into college, had to take a different road because the usual one was completely flooded. Went to the library to study, couldnt concentrate so left after an hour.

So here I am, livin' it up on Boards with a nice spicy chicken fajita and some magners.... gloomy my arse.

Dord

Well, New Order did a song called Blue Monday

First day back to college after Christmas holidays, so, yes, I agree, gloomy.

Every year the media say, "Scientists have proclaimed this to be the most depressing day of the year."

Bull****. This Monday is no different to last Monday except I have €200 less. It's just another way for the media to say, "Your life sucks, the world is ****ed, so listen to us to find out how to fix it."

Mossy Monk

Haven't felt this good on a Monday in a long time.

Dyr

I dont normallly care about mondays but today I feel like total ****e. :mad:

Dudess

I feel particularly crap today too - yes, it is a sh1te Monday. But yeah, all Mondays during winter (apart from the ones over Christmas imo) are crap.

connundrum

I'm in Cape Town, and I'm pretty gloomy about the great wather, cheap beer and kick ass food. Really gloomy!

In some of the places that I've worked, the existence of Monday is the excuse emplyers gave for not paying sick-pay. This resulted from people phoning in sick on a Monday morning. Nobody ever rang in sick during the rest of the week. They concluded that they were no longer going to pay people for taking the pi*s. Too bad if you really were on your death-bed.

Am having a pretty good monday - saw not one but two foxes in a field at the back of our house so that was pretty cool

biko

It's a rainy Monday. Of course I'm a bit down.
I prefer Sunny Saturdays

Alter-Ego

lisaloo

of course it is just the time of year.

1) then do up the CV, even if you don't do anything at least it will give you the feeling that you could if you wanted to;)

2) it is the generally the longest period between paychecks hence the no money. Don't worry next month is the shortest which means you have less time to spend the money, So shopping spree

3) trust me us men are very over rated especially as partners but hey I doubt it will take you that long to realise that and wonder why you wanted a boyfriend in the first place.

4) ok so there mighn't be hope but with boards beers, LL beers and BGRH & LL beers there is a lot to look forward to


For me though yes this may have been the worst monday so far this year but hey it is only the 3rd one so far there are going to be a lot worse days for me this year. If not it will have been a great year

Overheal

Meh. I've been better.

FU ,

THAT IS ALL!

i'm gloomy because i've been bored the last hour waiting for my boyfriend to be free so I can hang out with him
this weekend has made me realise i can spend loads of time with someone but if there not really there with you then there's no point
things could be worse though, i could have been in work!

1) I have set the ball rolling there.

2) I get paid by the week and I am still at the top of my overdraft every week.

3) Ah I don't even want to go there but with valentines nearing and another year I have been single I am extremely depressed about the whole thing.

Seems like any other **** Monday to me.:D

Thank god its over

Yes, in fact so windy, my French teacher decided we needed to know the French translation of 'Wuthering Heights'..... strange lady.

Les Hauts de Hurlevents in case you're wondering :rolleyes:

Malteaser!

I finished my exams today, so it was the LEAST gloomy day in a long time!!!

phasers

I felt it


I woke up this morning with the flu and had to trudge to school in a kilt with gale force winds in my face

Lazare

I won €2200 last night playing poker, took the day off today, and just fluted around buying sh1t.

Pretty fantastic day imo.

WindSock

Why is today worse than any other monday? i don't get it.


I don't mind Mondays so much. Hate tuesdays and wednesdays though, don't get me started.

The day before me birthday-never a gloomy day for me.

I think it's because christmas is just gone, and there's no holidays or occasions due for a good while. And the weather is usually cat. I think Tuesdays are worse too.

Bingo. Mine did anyway.

I, however, managed to get my car road legal again after a crash using nothing more than a clothes peg, brute force and ignorance, and some glue (MacGyver is my middle name clearly). So its not quite as bad a Monday as it could have been

Although it will be a very bad Tuesday when I find out what a new wing costs...
