Mondays are the absolute worst. If you can honestly say that you don’t hate Mondays, then god bless you and please spread that love to the rest of us miserable Monday people. I’ve never really sat down to think about what about Monday sucks so much, but even the thought of it angers me. Hopefully you’re not reading this on a Monday so you can already have that in the past for this week, but unfortunately, you’ll see it again next week. Here’s a list of the top 10 reasons Mondays are the absolute worst day of the week.
1. You were just spoiled for two days of unlimited sleep
I love sleep, I think more than anyone out there. it is my best friend. As the hours slowly pass by and I see my reflection in my TV, I can’t help but to think about how miserable Monday morning will be when I have to wake up at a certain time. Give me bed or give me death!
2. All the morning people can “eff” off, no smiles here
It’s a love/ hate relationship, but I hate the people who are so happy Monday morning. Why are you smiling at 8:00 a.m.? Why are you so happy to be here? Please just sit in silence until at least 11:00 a.m.
3. You pretend you’re going to start your diet, again.
Every Monday is THE DAY. I pack my lunch for a wild two days and am ready to get that winter weight off. Come Tuesday I’m already elbow-deep in a bag of chips, but hey, there’s always next Monday.
4. Everything hits the fan first thing Monday morning
I don’t know about your industry, but in the world of recruiting, everything happens Monday morning. It’s either the candidates who are also feeling the Monday blues and calling out, or the clients who have the sticks up their…and are complaining about the lack of our results!
5. You realize you hate your job
Monday is when you’re sitting at your desk, staring at your coffee just thinking, maybe graduate school wouldn’t be so bad after all.
6. You’re bloated and unhealthy
My weekends consist of drinking, bagels, drinking, pizza and maybe another bagel. Monday morning I feel like Cameron and wish I could roll my bed into work.
7. You have to do everything you put off on Friday
Friday at 3:00 p.m. my brain goes to mush, and all that extra work that seemed so important at 2:00 p.m. quickly loses its meaning, “I’ll do it Monday”. Worst. Decision. Ever.
8. You have to listen to everyone else complain about how Mondays suck
Nothing is worse than hearing someone else complain about what you're complaining about. This is my complaint, my Monday sucks, leave me alone!
9. The sound of your alarm clock is torture
I try to pick the most soothing yet loud alarm so I will actually wake up, and no matter what it is, it sounds like nails on a chalk board. I've tried rock, rap, even Adele, and nothing takes that anger away than the sound of your alarm reminding you its Monday.
10. You actually have to care about what you look like
On the weekend I get to get away with my band tees and lululemons, the messy bun is a good look and dry shampoo is my friend. Come Monday, I have to pretend I actually care what I look like and actually get ready in my best business professional.
