Mondays

Yes it is Monday, and the last Monday of the month at that. Monday seems to be the worst day of the week for the majority of people, especially where I work. I view Monday as a challenge that needs to be tackled and taken head on. Sure I could be like the rest of the people and not want to go in or call in and leave my boss in a bind but I don't. I choose to face the day with a positive attitude.

Like today, I woke up before my usual time to be ready to go to work and hour early. On my way out to my ride I slipped on the ice in my parking lot and went down hard. I mean it was so bad that my lunch box broke and the orange I had packed turned to juice. I just picked myself up, got in the car, and went to work.

That's just the first of it. I finally get to work and like usual half the crew is missing on Monday, giving my boss a really hard time to keep everything moving smoothly. Of the few of us that were there even fewer were in chipper moods. People were snippy and grumpy and complaining all day long. Still I did my job with a smile and whatever my boss needed I did. My positivity seemed to keep people going because when I talked to my co-workers or helped them out they were a little less grumpy afterward. I ended up putting in 11 hours today and still left in a good mood. My job isn't easy to do either.

I'm not saying I don't have bad Mondays, because I do. I just try to make the best of a bad situation when I do have bad Mondays, or any bad day for that matter. Moral of the story? Eh you decide. Happy Reading!
