Wednesday or Thursday variety makes the week seem so long. Obvious symptom of needing a holiday or a break from work. Other symptom is losing the ability to type, and fingers tripping themselves up so that you send an email before you finish with it - most embarrassing! <br/><br/>We do have Mutual Personal Leave Days too - we call them Let's Go Out and Have Breakfast and Watch the Workers Trudge to Work days ;) I LOVE going out for breakfast on a weekday in my comfy slop around clothes, with a trashy novel and M for company, having a huge cooked breakfast and making a pot of tea last for three hours or so... Haven't had any of these in weeks!<br/><br/>Cherry, next time the Boss pounces I will see if he gets it if I tell him to 'talk to the hand' :D Hi Anna, I seldom get Mondayitis, thankfully.. it’s awful with Early Onset Fridayitis though..

Cherry, next time the Boss pounces I will see if he gets it if I tell him to ‘talk to the hand’ :D

I, too, have been known to do the 'talk to the hand' gesture at times... because when i'm stressed i just want them to step back... back some more... a leeetle bit more.... ahhhh. That's better. Hang in there.<br/><br/>Oh no, Anna, Monday is ALWAYS worse than Tuesday. I don't care what anyone says. At least Tuesday is close to the hump, Wednesday, and once i'm over the hump, i'm almost okay. ;) As professional as we all like to claim we are, sometimes it’s just not possible.

I am waiting for Spoony to start his new job next so we can do this.
