Monday…

I bet you don’t like Mondays…right? Well I am not sure anyone does; they mark the end of the weekend, and highlight the whole “I have to work in order to feed myself and basically just stay alive” thing – you know the one, it’s never nice.

Well what you probably don’t know is that there is something in existence far worse than a Monday…it makes that regular Monday look, well…laughable! In fact your Monday blues pale into insignificance when compared with the awesome power of annoyance that this beast possesses… …I am of course talking about Trumpet Mondays…aka…Headache Mondays…aka…I would happily do prison time to make those fucking trumpets stop…

Ahem. Excuse me. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. But please – MAKE THEM STOP!

I can assure you…unless you had Godzilla come around, tear your house down, and then use the last of your milk…then I definitely did have a worse one!

But hey, thanks for your kind words, I feel better 🙂

  Well hello there! Firstly thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me and I am pleased you enjoyed the humor – your outlook is spot on, I often wonder why so many go through life weighed down by their problems, rather than just making light of them…OH MY GOD, NOOOOO – THAT WAS A PUN KIND OF AND I HATE PUNS.
  
  Sorry for inflicting that on you but I’ve typed it now, so there is no going back. Anyway, I’m following you I believe – so speak to you soon hopefully! Following like…your blog…not like, look out behind you…well, bye!

Great football fans one day, vavoozola masters of the new age. At least it was a science project and not band practice. What a source of inspired material your job bestows on you. Bet your everyone’s favorite teacher.
