Monday Meeting

Monday. It's the least liked day of the week. For most of you, I don't have to explain it. So long Saturday and Sunday. It'll be a while before I see you again.

A case of the Mondays.

But why? Simply because we're back in the office? Or because the weekend is over?

I really, really don't mind working. I think I'd be bored otherwise. But what's with the Monday blues?

I finally diagnosed my problem today. Every morning, I come in and check e-mails, send replies and eat my English muffin in the seclusion of my office. It's my quiet start to the day. I need about 30 to 45 minutes to gear up for what lies ahead.

But Monday doesn't allow me that freedom. We have staff meeting each Monday at 8:30 a.m. My gears are all go and then my process is stopped for about an hour. I return to my office to a mediocre, cold muffin. It's a drag.

I think Monday staff meetings should be against federal law.

What gives you a case of the Mondays?
