Everyone
Do you hate Monday? Well some people often said this word "I HATE MONDAY", but do you really hate Monday?
I personalized not hate Monday, but sometimes i just feel a little bit lazy to start a new task in the morning after holiday how about you?
Do you hate Monday? Why do you hate it? or why you love it, or are you one of the person who LOVES MONDAY?

Personally speaking,I have nothing against mondays! Working in a Hotel,Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest days of our working week,so for Me,when there's not as much happening (after Saturday night Dinner,Sunday Lunch,Weddings..)there's a good possibility I'll be having my days off at the start of the week,so You could say I Look forward to Mondays!

Everyone expect Saturday or Sunday comes ... but if you work at Hotel, Restaurant or Mall they expect Monday to come but i wonder why people who has a job like that, choose a Monday to get their holiday, not other days?

So you are a working woman!! well, everyone of us who work, will tend to hate Monday. Obviously who would like to be back at work after 2 days of holidays. Even I have been in job for more than ayear now, and having Saturdays and Sundays off, i feel too lazy to be at work on Monday morning.
The only thing, i like about a Monday morning, is that i get to see my collegues and there is some excitement as to what new information and new events are gonna happen this week. As for instance, there is always a planned event for every week in my organization in some department or the other. So thats the only thing which makes me look forward to come to office on Monday, to be a part of the communication.
Rest, there is nothing good to be talked about a Monday. After a long holiday and having hours of continuosus sleep, who would like to get up early on Monday morning to go to office.!!

Sounds like Garfield when he gripes about the week. I am always amused as to why he hates mondays.
Now that I am working, I fully understand why.
It is so hard to get back into the momentum of work on Monday mornings.
And by the time you get the momentum going, it is the end of the day. Tuesdays are better.

The momentum I was referring to is the momentum of work. It is really tough to get into flow of things in the workplace on monday. Most Mondays we are ok. By late morning we would have gotten into the routine of work.
But there are some Mondays that are just plain impossible to get through!

yes i hate monday and it hates me back!!!
it dishes out the most unbelievable traffic jams at the earliest time and it drags itself and rears its ugly head first thing sunday morning so yes, i hate monday!!! i usually get back by drinking myself silly the whole sunday until the wee hours of monday so i can sleep throughout the whole monday and wake up refreshed and ready to face the new week ahead on tuesday.
cheers!!!

I don't really hate Mondays. It's the feeling of getting back to work on a Monday that's really bothering me. It's kind of hard to force yourself to wake up on Monday mornings and start the week with a lot of work to be done right after the weekend. It feels like Mondays always kill the time you have enjoyed the weekend before. Mondays makes me practically drag my feet to work.

I actually love Mondays - it's the start of a fresh week, my husband and son go back to work so I can get back to my routine - and it just seems like a nice day. I suppose it's not so great for people who have to go to work (my husband's never too happy about it) - but for those of us at home, it's great.

Hey maxilimian! Yes, I guess I still don't really like
Mondays. It is a carry over from when I was working. I
like most people dreaded the first day of the work. I
knew that this would start the count down to the miserable
agraviating stressful jobs that I always had and would
make me rush my life away, which I did! I am not working
right now so it isn't the same. But, there is that same
familiar dread I think that I still remember. I don't
know when I will be returning to work, but I am sure I
will have that same feeling again and the I will be back
to hating Mondays!

This is what i mean ... people hate Monday because they dislike some forcing activity which they didn't like to do, if they like Monday for one reason that is something interests them, and they can't hardly wait i think you have some dilemma about your activity that leave a "scars" in your feeling about Monday, i hope you will be fine everyday

Hi maxilimian, I don't dislike Monday because we have a different weekends here in Egypt! Sunday is like Monday here, people starts to work on Sunday and the weekend is normally Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the day that I don't really like because thats the weekdays starts.Thanks!

I don't really have any feelings about Monday one way or the other. The day I don't like is Saturday. I guess the reason is because it makes me feel I'm in limbo, between the end of one thing and the beginning of another.

I don't hate monday, but I hate to work on weekends and have a days off during the week instead. Sometimes I end up mixing days and dates because I don't have permanent same days off. Its like sometimes I have monday off or having thursday off but I usually work on weekends. Now, I am looking for a job where I will not have to work on weekends. Wish me luck!

Yup it is, Some people work on weekends, but they can choose another day to replace their holiday, but it's a little bit hard b'coz when you take the holiday then there's no one accompany you in holiday, i wish you have a good luck

I do not hate Mondays!
I just wish there were more three day weekends!
As long as I get enough rest, everything is fine.
It is not good to rush or wish for everything to be how we want it~!
How about working on the weekends and taking off during the week?

After thinking a whole response, there's a lot of people hate Mondays related about their boring jobs and duties so we can relax after a long hard weekend or preparing to face a new Monday

Hi Maxilimian, No, i don't hate monday, i like monday every much. Because it is the new start week for me and of course everyone. Thus any uncompleted tasks can be continue and try to complete as soon as possible.
Initially i hate Monday because lots of things to follow up and settle especially early in the Monday morning. But one of my friend have guide me a way to overcome that. The method is on Sunday night, i will do house keep of my last week / outstanding actions and list down what to focus for the new week.
With that, every Monday morning i already know what to follow up and not getting mess for my tasks. I feel that method really helps me and cause me love Monday instead of hate it.
