What To do on Mondays ? Bang your boss ;>)

Sunday evening becomes so boring. Not because you don't have much to do. But because you know that it's going to be Monday tomorrow. So you will have to go to the office (if you are employed :D). If you are not employed and you are a student, you are bored (and frustrated) because you have to go to the school/college/university etc.

I could not think of a class of people who would be overjoyed by the feeling of Monday except one. The share-brokers in bullish market times. :). In bearish market times, even their Mondays are frustrating. So overall, I don't think there is anyone on this earth (save me from all those workaholic people) who likes Monday. And for one such workaholic, there is no difference between any given day of the week and any other day :(.

When I was a school going kid (where I seldom went:D).. my teacher used to tell us (probably in grade 3 or 4) that "Man is a social animal". Well, I did not have doubt either in those days nor do I doubt it now that "Man is absolutely an ANIMAL" ..and I'm sure you will agree with "Yours Truly". But what bothers me is that we were never told that "Man is a LAZY animal". And that's why we do not like to work. See, all of you will agree that what work you do does not matter. One might like to program on a Monday, if one has never done programming all one's life. One might like to go and see the life of a steel factory worker on a Monday if one has been programming all one's life. So, it's not about what you do or where you work that makes the Mondays boring. It's the continuity of work that makes Mondays boring. So let's support the idea of rotation of work!

For example, on Mondays you can be The Boss of your usual day boss. (Keep in mind though, that on tuesday he/she will be back on the seat to hunt you down if you did something extra-exciting on your Monday). Or better still, you are allowed to have the freedom of switching your job every Monday (assuming you are not passing through a dark age of economic crisis :D).

hehe!!! Isn't all of this getting exciting ??
Alec Smart of Bachi Karkaria would have opined : How about getting rid of Mondays from the calender!
