This is why Tuesdays are the worst

Tuesdays are not my favorite day of the week. In fact, in my ranking of days of the week (yes, I actually have one) it comes in at #7. Bottom of the list. Even lower than Monday. Quickly, because I know you're curious, here is the list:

*

1. Saturday, for obvious reasons. Sleeping in, no work, staying up late, getting into trouble and still having a whole day to make up for it, etc.

*

2. Friday. You have to work that day which isn't so cool, but you can still stay up late and do fun things and then sleep in the next day.

*

3. Sunday. Yea, you don't have to work, but the knowledge that tomorrow you have to go to work puts a damper on the whole day. Not to mention (if you're me) you have to get all the productive things done that your lazy self didn't do on Friday or Saturday.

*

4. Thursday. The week is almost over and it's by far the best night of TV.

*

5. Wednesday. Workweek half over, you can at least see the weekend on the horizon.

*

6. Monday. Actually not the worst day because you've still got some residual "weekend high". No, not in a druggie sense, but in the sense that you can still vividly (or whatever) remember the weekend so you can sort of ride on that through the day.

*

7. Tuesdays really suck. The weekend was two days ago, the next one isn't for another 4 days and it's just work work work work work. It's always the day of the week that feels the longest, drains you the most and just generally makes you wish 5:00 would hurry up and get here.

Now I know this probably makes it seem like I hate my job and that it's just how I pass my time from weekend to weekend. That really isn't the case. Most of the time I quite like my job. It involves enough of what my major in college was to make my parents happy that they didn't waste all that money on my education and it's enough of everything else that I don't want to repeatedly stick a letter opener in my eyeball. The majority of the people I work with are completely great and it's an enjoyable work experience. But let's face it, it's still work. If I had my way I would be independently wealthy, I'd have a large estate next to a large body of water to stay at and host fabulous parties that last for 4 days when I'm not driving around the country in my totally awesome car (that is of course environmentally friendly and gets excellent gas mileage) on an extended road trip seeing as much cool stuff as possible and staying with all the people I know around the country for various periods of time. (you should know that in this scenario I'm about 5 inches taller, my hair looks good every day and the fact that I'm basically living out of my car does not limit the size of my wardrobe or the number of shoes I own in any way)

Sadly, I'm not quite there yet.

But now, back to Tuesdays. Particularly this one. I don't think it's completely necessary for every Tuesday to end with a splitting headache shooting right behind my eyes to the point where I probably look a little like a psycho killer from a bad movie, but that doesn't seem to stop it from happening. Recently I've been making some effort to have more peace and harmony in my life (26 is supposed to be the year of peace...it's true, I make a theme for each year of my life) so whenever I feel myself getting worked up I try to step back, take some deep breaths, calm myself down so that I'm the picture of grace and balance. Well, if you know me you can pretty much guess how this has turned out. Yea. Kindly stop rolling your eyes right now.

*

Even beyond that, I just have bad luck on Tuesdays. The last time my shower broke it was a Tuesday, when my electricity "accidentally" got turned off it was a Tuesday, last Halloween was probably the worst I've ever had and THAT was a Tuesday. You get the idea. Tuesdays are my arch-nemesis in weekday form.

Oh well, at least I'm getting my hair cut tonight, which is my preferred method of relaxation. Then when I get home I'll put on my pj's and walk around my apartment in pretty shoes (my other method of relaxation).

*

Until next time!

* You see what I've had to resort to in order to get a space between my paragraphs? Ridiculous!
