Tuesday

Thus begins the day known as Tuesday. Tuesday’s are my least favorite day of the week by far.
Most people feel somewhat lethargic on a Monday. They claim that after the weekend, a Monday is just a shock to the system - too much crap after two days of not that much crap. Well, I make this claim about a Tuesday - a shock to your system indeed. Following Monday, one is naturally tired due to not quite being over the extended periods of sleep the weekend provides (unless you’re my mother, who happens to wake up at 5 am everyday). Monday night can’t help you - you’ll go to bed at midnight only to wake up to a 6 am alarm, then, if you’re like me, push the snooze button approximately 20 times until 8 am hits. Those two hours of sleep are nearly worthless because you wake up every 9 minutes.

Then the day starts. Tuesday is depressing. It’s surrounded by weekdays, and what’s more, it’s as far from the weekend as you can get without it being a Monday. It’s not Wednesday, oh no - with Wednesday, you’re half way there! Tuesday is exactly half way to nowhere, and the full ride to misery. It’s not even a Thursday, the equivalent on the other side of the week. Nothing short of using a Microsoft product can compare to the torment of a Tuesday.

What this calls for is a battle plan. What a person can do to prevent such heartache. My suggestion would be to get an iPod Touch and a few games, but that short lived experiment was ended last Friday when Dusty threatened to strangle me with the earbud cable. YouTube? If you can risk it. Be careful though, it’s a website that may be more dangerous then most, as you can easily get sucked into a never ending cycle of clicking that ultimately results in you gasping for air hours later and looking like you just bought some crack.

Probably not the best solution for work.

Whatever method you choose to dishevel your Tuesday, I wish you luck. If you slay this dragon, perhaps you’ll see tomorrow and, god willing, the holy grail - Friday night. Tuesday is a dangerous beast, and no one can help you - everybody has a problem, and it’s called Tuesday.
