Is Today Fired?

You’ve spoken, and the word on Tuesday is not good. (Though not as horrendous as yesterday, whose name we will not even speak here for fear of summoning its vile spirit.)

Quoth tyrg20: “Wow. WOW. I didn’t know they made mornings like this. Forgot to tie up one loose end last night before I left, and now I get a crappy email from the boss. Never mind the good work I usually do and never get a second mention of that. Top it off with my ankle is still killing me, and I can’t get in touch with a big client(he’s dodging my calls)- today is so fired that its MOMMA is fired. So fired that there are scorch marks around the door. You get the picture.”

Lee seemed to agree: “Tuesdays for me are very often worse than Mondays. Besides the fact I was up late finishing an article and had to get up early today, I’m supposed to complete two magazine pages today and still have to attend a 1-2 hour meeting this afternoon. Today sucks.”

There was one notable dissident — even anarchic — comment from Rhiamom: “Tuesday, you are tops in my book. You brought me the thrill of a coup, or a popular revolution, or something, bubbling away in Bangkok. Will PM Samak resign? Will the People’s Alliance for Democracy succeed in taking over ALL the government buildings and TV stations? Will the Army break the stalemate by choosing a side? Oh, Tuesday, you have brought me so much to ponder, and the constant updates on the Intarwebs are all an information junkie could ever ask.”

How can Wednesday top something like that?

And as I close up shop here for the day, I’d like to mention how grateful I am to all of you for bearing with me while our usual host has been away. You’ve been a great crowd. Thanks!
