Mondays have a bad rep. The usual drudgery of post weekend bants and late nights in the club can leave people feeling a bit down about the start of a new week.
We like to see the brighter side of life though, and know that Monday has it’s own merits for why it’s actually not the worst day to wake up to in our daily routine…
1. The office gossip is always the best on a Monday
You shifted what lad down the pub on Friday? Your ex was WHERE?! With that trollop? Monday gossip in the office is a throw-down for new digestion of details, updating the girls on the guys in your life and sharing the embarrassing stories. It’s a show and tell you never want to miss. Let’s be honest, you live for Monday news-time.
2. You’re still texting the last-song kiss from the dancefloor
It’s a lot nicer to start your week believing he’s the man of your dreams, and nothing beats that first text flirting that’s all par for the course after a dancefloor kiss. The DJ announcing it’s nearly time for the last song is like the red-flag to a bull for an Irish singleton succesful. You will get a kiss, and you will be texting this boy for most of the week. So enjoy the witty bants and notch that up to some successful weekend fun.
3. You’ve recovered from THE FEAR
THE FEAR. It’s horrendous and leaves you in a state of shell shock come Sunday. You pledge you’ll never drink again if you can just manage to battle through the rest of the day. Then HURRAH! It’s Monday. You’re a free woman, and you’re feeling alive. Monday is the day to conquer the world. Go on, take a lap of honour. You’ve earned this.
4. There’s a Facebook photo apocalypse at lunch
We all have a snap happy friend. The one who would probably take your picture walking out of the toilet cubicle if they had a chance. You curse them on Saturday, and then thank God for their phone on Monday. It’s a picture re-cap of your weekend antics, and once you’ve kept your dignity, they’re guaranteed a giggle on your Monday lunch break. Just be careful, you may be the subject of an intervention…
5. You’re FULL of great intentions…
… And they could actually last. It’s day one of a new week. You’ve packed your lunch and brought your gym gear to work. It’s a clean slate for the exercise/diet regime and you’re going to nail it. You’ve already got a golden week (we’ll ignore that there’s still six to go)
6. The week ahead in work is going to fly
You’ve drawn up the list of tasks, delved them out across the week and assigned your time. Your to-do strategy could rival Monica’s skills in Friends – but we promise by Friday you’ll appreciate the time your Monday schedule and nerdy skills save.
7. The best TV shows are your dinnertime desert
Still reeling from Friday’s soap cliffhanger? Or maybe you’ve a fashion shrine set up in honour of Made in Chelsea? We love a bit of Monday night TV. You’ve just done your first day of work after the weekend, you deserve those guilty pleasures. Pair it up with a cup of tea and you’re onto a winner.
