Usually people are too lazy to go back to work or school on a Monday wishing it's Friday or hoping for an extended weekend break. Monday is such a drag and it's the day that i don't usually look forward to. But today is different. It's Monday and i feel so excited. Why? First, I got rewarded by a telecom company for having been their subscriber for six years (that's Globe Telecom Philippines) and the reward is an iphone 4 which is arriving today. Not tomorrow but today, right at my doorstep. Second, It's NBA finals game six and because of the bet with Michael Hanna which i mentioned in another post, get me so excited. I just want Dirk Nowitzki to have that championship ring because i believe he deserves it. Third and maybe the last reason, a friend of mind promised to call after the whole weekend of silence which is quite unusual for us. And i'm hoping there's a lot more reasons coming today for me to make my Monday a happy one. Tell me how's your Monday?

Yes. for you it is Monday.( Here we are on sunday evening 7.10 pm.(now in USA) I know my daughter use to cry on Monday before going to school and we use to cajole her --see friday is coming quickly and u will have two days leave. Enjoy work. Work is what makes us purposeful. That is why I am replying in mylot. For me this is work. have a nice day.

ya. But for people like me who are retired-- all days are same. Anyhow I wish young people like you that you should enjoy your work and give your best to the group and the organisation which has given opportunity for you to work. have a good day.

I work at home and i am my own boss. I think i'm lucky in that sense that i don't get pressure from anybody. But then i'm still doing my best and i never get tired of doing what i do.

I have to say, this is one of the best mondays that I have had in a long time. I got up early and starting getting productive. I just have not looked back since. I was able to make a good amount of money for myself, then put a couple of article into a residual income site to let them start getting some action. I was really done with all the work that I needed to get done by noon, so everything since then has just been icing on the cake. I am hoping to be able to do the same thing tomorrow.

Great job. I think the best way to deal with Monday sickness is to do best in our job and finish everything as early as we can. Right way to start your week off.

Yes, I always like when I am able to stay positive about Mondays. Mind you, this does not always happen for me. However, when this kind of thing does work out, I am very happy by the amount of progress I am able to make. I think writing on Mylot helps out a lot. :)

Yes, people look forward to Fridays, not Mondays. But still, we just have to take it. Weekends give the chance to relax and get rid of the mental and physical stresses during the course of the past week, so that we could be refreshed and ready to go on into the next week.

That's exactly the point of weekends. To give us two days off to refresh. But why is it that when Monday comes most of the people are still so tired? It's because the weekends are spend on partying and not resting.

For me it really doesn't matter right now because I don't have school till next Monday now that's when I am truly going to suffer I am not going to enjoy going to school again. Having to deal with keeping up my grades and with all the exams it really is stressful to deal with all that. It is no walk int the park I will tell you that. Especially since college is not free one is more stressed to do better at it and to get all the assignments in and to not let one pass. Failing a class is never an exception for me because I would get really down if I failed a class. I think that they would take my financial aid away if that would to happen. So that's why I have to try my best and not let Mondays get to me when I finally have to deal with them, because me and Mondays it seems that we never get along well. You put us together and we would be squaring off in a fight. When it comes to Fridays though I am surely going to love them a whole lot more because I only have class from Monday through Thursday and it is going to be like a dream come true for me. Anyway we all pretty much still have to deal with Mondays even if we don't like them like I do I hate those days, but we always have to make the best out of what we have. Well everybody good luck with your Mondays because they really are the days that we always tend to dread the most.

Well, it is still actually only 9:19 Sunday evening here. It has been a really good day here with Church and then just came home and been relaxing some. I posted here on myLot some had a nice evening with my husband for a bit, and now down here posting in myLot for a bit. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day, and a little mind wracking for sure since I have an apt. with a Cardiologist but also believing and knowing God is in control.

Hello Tina. It's really comforting to know that God is in control and leaving He will never leave your side. You have a great Monday and hope everything will turn out fine. God be with you always.

My daughters last day of school was Friday. Today is monday and I keep forgetting what day it is. I keep thinking its Sunday. In the summer much of the days seem to be the same. I am trying to keep my kids busy this summer though so they wont be bored. But as far as if I am happy its monday or not it really makes no difference to me. I was going to meet a new friend at a park but it wound up raining so we couldnt meet up.

During vacation time i couldn't tell the difference between the days. I guess it's because i didn't have to go to school or work. But then when i started working, there's a big difference between Monday and Friday and the weekends of course.

Sis i did not win the iphone at all. It's a loyalty reward and they did that to make me stay as their subscriber. Thanks anyway and hope to see you again. Have a happy Monday.

As for me, this week Monday is a really busy day, as my son begin his study again. He was having a school break for 2 weeks and now it's time to resume study again. I need to wake him up early and prepared and send him to the nearby Kindy. But, it could also mean that i will have more time for myself to online. At least, i can online without him disturbing my concentration.

One positive way to look at it is you've got more time for yourself now. Have a happy Monday.

I just feel numb today. I should be happy because we will have our salaries coming in by the end of the day. Monday hasn't always been my favorite day. As I passed by the overpass, I saw the traffic jams. It is not a surprise since most of the classes would have started today. Wow! You have a very exciting Monday for you. Congrats for having the free iphone4. Most of my office mates here at hooked on the NBA game. They have wagered some bets too.

Well it's good to know that you are having an awesome Monday. I hope that my Monday will be as good as yours too. I'm quite jealous of your iphone 4 by the way.

I'm kind of okay with it, because summer vacation starts in only a week and a half, and I am sewing a plush unicorn in sewing class, so I am going to be able to finish it. Then I am going to graduate and be over with school!

It's neither happy nor sad.After a relaxed Sunday and summer vacation the pace has changed. I have to get ready quickly and my son also has to be ready fast.It takes a few days to get back to the old schedule.Though i must say so far I've done reasonably well this Monday morning.

That's a very interesting Monday for you. For me, it's the usual: go back to work and work my @ss off. Although my specific account is fairly easy so it's not that much of a hassle, I just have to pass my nesting period -- the time when supervisors assess my skills and decide whether to permanently hire me or not.

Congratulations about your new gadget.. I don't like this Monday though, since it's the start of classes and usually we really don't have class but I still have to go to check it. I just wasted a whole day in school, no teacher came..so, we just watched movies in school with our classmates.

happy because it is another week for work and at the same time a bit lazy because I have to wake up early than the usual because it's back to school for kids again. Congratulations for your reward from Globe. Good that they are rewarding loyal client. Have a nice day!
