"So Monday, we meet again.", I frowned...
As I was driving to office today (today is a Monday!), I could feel something common in the traffic around: everyone had 'that' look on their faces! 'It's a Monday! Whoppie!' - Of course no one is going to exclaim 'that' unless they don't have their bosses getting on their nerves for meeting deadlines, or a pile of work waiting for them. Okay, now some who really, really love their work might be on their toes to reach their offices. Alas, though, they might be a handful only, and for the rest of the majority, it is time for Monday blues. Trust me, it is rather difficult to bid adieu to the lovely Sunday and embrace a Monday. It requires serious motivation to bid farewell to your bed and say shoo to your beauty sleep. And when we manage to drag ourselves to our offices, the only consolation we have is, almost everyone else in the world shares this feeling!
So here are a few Monday quotes and sayings that might help you survive through this dreadful day.
