You know what I hate?

[Solaris]

I hate it when a Friday decides to come off like it's a Monday. It's the last freakin' day of the workweek, for crying out loud---it's *supposed* to be a great day. But if six things go wrong before you've even had your first sip of coffee, and it just keeps going downhill from there... I don't care what you call it, it's a Monday.

:( :mad: :(

Is it too late to call in sick?

/Can/ you call in sick to Life?

Unless she means BJW, in which case, yeah, it probably is too late.

Yes, my life seems to be a badly written DC/Marvel cross-over series.

[Forefinger]

It's all a conspiracy by the Man to destroy the whole concept of TGIF to increase production in businesses by elimitating Friday's and replacing them with a Monday clone.

Wrong thread, ooops.

[Solaris]

No... but I'm a home manager, Fabe! :)

No, it's stuff like paycheck didn't autodeposit last night (will go in tonight instead), have to wait to see if the wedding facility's refund check for our security deposit comes in the mail this pm before we know if our "nice dinner out" plans are scrubbed, (and if it comes in, if it *then* comes in *in time* to get it to the bank---our mail carrier is an idiot)... I'd put a few items on hold at a store and was supposed to go buy them today, but no money in bank... and the biggie: a higher up in hubby's company has decided to play hardball *again* with a customer they've put tons of time into, and have a huge potential yield from (the last time he did this he lost them the account they'd been working on). This is really bad, IMO, because this guy's an idiot, doesn't bother to check with the local reps who are actually *in* the meetings to see if it's *necessary* to play hardball---and the net result is that if he blows this account too, hubby loses a huge bonus (we'd planned to use it to finish landscaping our backyard into a decent place for our son to play).

DO so tomorrow!! I need to be saved from a world that fears me!!!

[darkkeeperjr]

I hit the coffee perk button,go wash up and stuff, grab a cup of joe and sit down to surf the news.

Before i even get a sip i find out that sulu is gay (not that anything wrong with that) what a wake up!

DID every one know but me?

[thehod]

Monday just gone, I had to have a surgical extraction on one of my teeth, so since then every bloody day has seemed like a a damn Monday.

[Fabian]

Do you and your "hubby" (I must use quotes because I feel slightly less manly saying that word) work for the same company? If not, have him worry about it as you sleep on it when you finish your work.

Also, chase down your mail carrier. Make it an fun activity, bring back the fun of Friday

At least none of you have to deal with the dreaded "Kids Eat Free" Monday

What the?! I suspect I know who. Isn't there a way to call someone and get his butt hauled out?

On those Mondays, all the enslaved kids cheer.

Not from hubby's end. Another person on the team *might* have the "place" to do so, if he has the balls to do it, to forward said email to the higher up who really wants this account to go through. I hope to heck this person *does* do that, because seeing the hardball guy fired after losing the account is poor consolation, compared to getting a good bonus. Anyway, hubby's hands are tied on this one, apparently. Sigh.

And, ladies and germs, this is otherwise known as "Spousal Work Frustration Syndrome: when you can see your spouse's compatriot(s) is/are being totally stupid (in a way that personally affects your life and your finances), and you can't pipe up and say something without making your spouse look stupid, and/or endangering their job."

This syndrome and I are old friends, btw---it pays me a visit fairly frequently. I've gotten damned good at keeping my mouth shut, and my fingers off the phone keys, over the years. Sigh.

Open your mouth at your husband and tell him how the job should be done

[DarkBlade]

Mooooother, please go get the house phone...

[Prelude]

But if six things go wrong before you've even had your first sip of coffee, and it just keeps going downhill from there... I don't care what you call it, it's a Monday.

:( :mad: :(I call that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

[Solaris]

Mooooother, please go get the house phone...

Call on Troy's cell---we're about to go eat, and he's not on a call right now.

[Valmore]

See? IT'S A MONDAY!!!

For me, it is a Monday.

My workweek starts on Friday and ends on Tuesday, giving me Wednesday and Thursday off as my weekend. Hence, today is my Monday.

However, it always seems like the most things go wrong on Tuesday, which is my Friday.

sorry you're having a bad day Flamey. . .

but if I may step up to piss in your cornflakes a little more. . . . .

I got to go home early (like an hour and a half early)!

my Boss asked me if I was caught up. I was, so he said, at 3:30, "go ahead and take off! Have a great weekend!". . .

nice, huh?

:)

[Grant]

Eh... my schedule is so fucked the days kind of blur together.

I usually only get Sunday's off anyways.

[Callie]

Sorry to hear that your day sucked. Just be glad that you'll not have to work tomorrow.

I work a Sun-Thu shift, so my 'Fridays' are on Thursdays. Thursday is typically the day my workplace schedules events (and my workplace loves to have events) so my week usually ends on a good note.

[Paradox]

Solaris should count her blessings:

I hate it when a Friday decides to come off like it's a Monday. It's the last freakin' day of the workweek, for crying out loud---

It IS? Wish someone would tell MY boss that. :(

After half a bottle of that I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Couldn't feel my fingers and toes either, but what the hell, its a small price to pay.

[Forefinger]

How are you doing today that it actually is the dreaded, horrible, MONDAY!!!???

[DarlingNikki]

so has your monday turned into a friday? that would bring it full circle.
