Monday

Today is monday. Monday truly is the toughest day of the week. I have often wondered how to make mondays appear unnoticed.

Some old timers like to work on sundays. Is it their way of pretending that sunday is in fact monday so that when monday appears, it does not seem like monday.

Others like to work on saturday mornings. I used to think it's to finish up the backlog for the workweek. Now I am wondering if in fact it is a tactic to cope with mondays by treating saturday as monday. In which case, one takes a break on tuesday, being sunday.

It probably is necessary to pretend in this fast paced working world against a possibly relaxing weekend. Maybe the gap between weekdays and weekends is so markedly different that one wonders if it is healthy.

The brain shuts down at the end of friday and enters into a carefree saturday and sunday. Suddenly it is sunday night again with monday looming ahead. And the technical brain has since gone for a holiday.

Some people go to the office early on monday to start the week early.

Today I tried harder to adapt to monday which turns out to be a disaster. It is a mistake to challenge monday head-on. Today I kowtow to the technical brain and how disastrous it is to charge it ahead whilst it is cranking. I suffered the rest of the day.

Today I come to the realisation that the old timers may be right. Take the soft approach. Go around monday. Pretend if you have to. Pretend today is tuesday and tomorrow is wednesday. It can only be better.
