Why Tuesday Sucks
Look at you. Sitting there barely keeping it together today…
It’s not just the weather, it’s not just your boss…it’s Tuesday - The Worst Day of the Week.
Monday’s gonna suck - that’s a given. Sucking is a big part of Monday’s brand. It’s an expectations game - you’ve come to terms with and accepted the fact that Monday’s just gonna be awful. If it isn’t terrible it’s like a huge bonus and it makes a good Monday seem great. You’re kind of secretly glad you get to dry out after a weekend of too much everything…
But what is Tuesday’s thing? It doesn’t really have one. Tuesday is the grind. You’re too far from the next weekend to really look forward to it in any meaningful way. You’re too far from the last weekend to feel like you’ve just had a break. You’re tired from one day of work and you have three more to go after this! It seems unbearable. Your secret gladness over being able to dry out after a weekend of too much everything is replaced by the symptoms of withdrawal and an overwhelming desire for more everything…
Wednesday? “Hump day”…Light at the end of the tunnel at last!
Thursday’s so close you can almost smell it.
Friday’s Friday.
But Tuesday…Tuesday is one vicious whore of a day. As my grandma used to say of it, “Heroin’s the only cure I know of for Tuesday.”
Indeed…
