Humor: Beat Monday Blue

Always hate Monday morning, especially if it is a wet and cold Monday morning. Waking up in any morning is such a difficult thing to do. More so on Monday morning.

My body keeps saying "let me sleep, let me sleep, I don't want to work, it's so nice and cosy in here." My mind keeps nagging "Time to wake up, you cannot afford to sleep any longer. Better wake up now, you know very well that you will regret on the way to office if you don't wake up now."

"Oh, another 5 minutes, just 5 more minutes, no harm reaching office 5 minutes late."

Sigh, the spirit is unwilling and the flesh is weak. The 5 minutes of course drags on to 15 minutes.

The same old drama replays every single working day, every single morning. It just intensifies on Monday morning. The same old drama will play every single working day for the next 30 awful years if I don't do anything about it.

It is impossible to get rid of Monday Blue, the Great Monday Blue that torture millions and millions of workers every Monday. But surely there is a way to reduce it.

So what can I do?

Aha, got it. Found out that the most effective method (for me) to fight Monday Blue is to have a lottery ticket in my wallet. Just a single dollar ticket will do. Imagine that, Hope, the essence of life, can be bought with a dollar. That ticket is my hope to get out of misery, out of the rat race.

Now every Monday morning, I wake up with such a nice thought. "Today I will strike lottery. I will win the million dollars. Today is the LAST, yes LAST, working day of my entire life. Today is the Last day I suffer from Monday Blue."

No longer do I wake up with such a dread. No longer do I sleep for another 15 minutes (actually do sleep for another 5 minutes). No longer do I sulk all the way to work.

Now I step out of my house with a smile on my face. On the way to work, I imagine the joy of winning the lottery, the joy of collecting the winnings, the joy of typing resignation letter.

Best still, the joy of announcing to the whole office "I win the million dollars draw! I quit with immediately effect!" and dramatically submit the resignation letter to my boss.

YES, I will do so in front of all my jealous colleagues. I will make sure ALL of them are around when I make the throw in the towel. YES, I will use a loudhailer to make the MOST important announcement.

I suppose the happy thought of winning keep me sane throughout the working day.

Have I won the million dollars lottery? I will keep you informed of further development.
