Yes. It's Monday. Deal with it.

No one disagrees that Monday is the worst day of the week. The weekend is over. There are hangovers and poor decisions to recall, or not. There is a long week ahead of you to dread. And unless you happen to love your job, it's just a generally depressing day. Mondays in the spring and summer are even worse. It's nice outside and the closest you get to a beautiful day is maybe eating lunch outside.

My problem is with people who need to share with you just how terrible their Monday is. I get it. You had a great weekend and you are sad that it's over. Guess what? Me too!! For you to take time out of your day to bitch and moan about how much you hate Mondays is patently unecessary. NO ONE is glad Monday is here and for you to imply that this particular Monday is any harder on you than anyone else is insulting. You are not that special.

Facebook is the biggest enabler I can think of when it comes to giving people a platform to express their displeasure that the Sun did in fact come up this morning to shed light on the beginning of another work week. A sampling from today:

KW: had so much fun at the drive-in with her bf, but is freakin tired!! I hate mondays....

HG: wow today sucks already and I'm too tired for this shit this early on a monday after no sleep w a sick baby*

*bonus d-bag points for the added whining about taking care of her own child

Mike Judge wrote one of the best depictions of everyday life at the office in his movie (and it's a movie, not a "film" you pretentious douche bag) Office Space. The only thing not funny about the movie is that it's true. Office Space and The Office are the two most accurate protrayals of office life that you can find in modern popular culture. In the movie, the main character Peter (Ron Livingston) and his neighbor Lawrence (Diedrich Bader) have a poignant exchange on the idiocy of pointing out the obviously depressing nature of Mondays:

Peter: Let me ask you a something. When you go into work on Monday, and you're not feeling so good, does anyone ever say "Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays?"

Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked for saying something like that.

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate that you are not happy about having to start another week of the same old shit. But it just makes it that much more aggravating for the rest of us to have to listen to you whine about it. I hear you loud and clear. You are a delicate flower who needs to be coddled and gently released back into the 9-5 grind. But as it turns out, I don't give a fuck. Get back to getting your shit done and maybe if you'd stop being so miserable then Monday wouldn't be the soul crushing day that you just can't seem to get over. And whatever you do, don't ever let me hear you whisper the words, "Well at least it's only five more days until the weekend!"
