The other day someone I know and love was ranting about the woes of Mondays. Yeah, I hear her, and we all know what Mondays are about. We as a society have been lamenting about Mondays forever ~ well at least from Mama Cass to "Manic Monday". But you know what I can't take??
Friday mornings ...
Especially after working four ten-to-twelve hour days.
Especially now that the corporate "motivators" have deemed it necessary for our departments to be manned on Saturdays (and my "department" consists of me, myself and I). So Friday NIGHT is not even special anymore.
But this morning here at home we are all tired and cranky. We are out of clothes (or "outfits) as Willa calls them) that we want to wear, we are out of enthusiasm for the day ahead, we are probably out of orange juice or something else essential for breakfast. When I come down and plug Harry into my Bose i-pod deck (When Harry Met Sally soundtrack) I get halfway through "Where or When" only to have my i=pod ripped from it's moorings to be replaced by Willa's and Relient K singing something about chapped lips, cell phones and theme parks - quite loudly I might add.
Well, at least there is coffee and plenty of 1/2 and 1/2.
If my corporate boss calls today and chirps his usual "Life is Good" phrase at me I just might jump out my 5th floor window.
Yeah, I'm back, and back crabby to boot.
P.S. - Did you know Relient K also did a cover of Manic Monday?
I like their cover of Sloop John B, I'll have to ask Willa to play me the Manic Monday ~ perhaps we'll wait until Monday AM
