A Bad Case of the Mondays

• Item One – 5:00 AM arrives far too early, while you are in the midst of deep sleep and a pleasant dream.
• Item Two – Your knee is still aching from confronting a rock while kayaking. 
• Item Three – Your car doesn’t start due to a dead battery.
• Item Four – Food is served before your all morning staff meeting.  NEVER a good sign.
• Item Five – Construction woes on two different job sites.
• Item Six – Your wife sends e-mail saying that she has not only crashed her research instrument, but an identical one at Clemson.
• Item Seven – You have to work late, and traffic is horrible.

However, it’s nothing a double-martini and a dip in the hot tub can’t cure.
