Monday

Monday. It might as well be a four-letter word as much as it is reviled and talked about with such venom.

But why?

Well for most people it means they have to go back to the J-O-B, the grind, and the 9-to-5. It implies they have to stop doing what they like (whatever they do on the weekend) and start doing something they don't like.

This sad state of affairs really stinks. But obviously since we live in Communist China we have no hope. Every one of us was informed by a state official long ago of what we would be doing for our livelihoods and we had zero say in the matter.

And because of this, burly men toting guns come to our houses every morning and force us at gunpoint to march grimly to our daily doom as we sip our bland cups of Totalitarian Toffee Nut flavored coffee.

And of course once we're chained to our desks, we're then compelled to actually work by our sadistic, electric cattle prod wielding bosses that expect us to produce results - or else...

It's terrible, I know.

Except this isn't your reality, nor mine. We don't live in China so we don't have to act like we do. We have something called the "freedom to choose". In fact, we have the responsibility to choose.

So if this is the case, why do so many people choose poorly? And why are so many people miserable when Monday rolls around?

Last I checked this isn't a dress rehearsal. This is for realz. If you're upset every Monday morning maybe you should do something about it. For realz.

It's your life to waste.

But I would encourage you not to. We need what you've got - whether you realize that yet or not.
