“Did you have a good weekend? You all ready for work?”
Well, no. As a matter of fact, I’m not.
I would love to tell you that I am. Ready for work, that is. But the truth is, I am woefully unprepared.
I meant to be. I meant to be ready. But there was watching movies I'd already seen on Friday night. And then there was the washing and folding bonanza that was Saturday. There was the writing, the cooking, the refrigerator detailing, the transporting of the cats to their tap-dancing lessons.
Would you believe I completely forgot to leave time to get worked up about being a productive member of corporate America?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m one punctual and competent SOB; but I’m no good at that “You all ready for work?” question. It just doesn’t seem that there’s a good answer to it.
Small talk is not my forte.
I should work on having prepared answers.
“Work? I’m at work?”
“Ready for work? Oh, now, yeah. I can’t remember what they called it, but the doctors said that I can continue with my regular routine as long as I use a hand sanitizer and don't – oh, shoot – have you seen my face mask?”
“Yep! All ready for work! Say, could you cover for me for a couple hours this afternoon? The police – well, the less you know the better; but now that they’ve got the court order they’re going to take that sample whether I like it or not.”
It’s so important to have a good attitude, don’t you think?
Happy Monday, everyone.

Mondays still blindside me. I think I'll write some of your answers on little placards and hold them up in lieu of actually speaking on Monday mornings.
May your afternoon go smoothly.
Being retired, Mondays are the same as Saturdays. As Mike's Italian bride in "The Godfather" said, "Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday.."
remember when you checked you Ipod for predictions? I think Manic Monday by the Bangles would have been your list.
Sometimes I think grunting is entirely appropriate.
I checked. everyday is a Monday!
I checked. everyday is a Monday!
I'm not a morning person, Mondays or any other days. I did have ready responses, but they weren't clever like yours!
Attitude? I'll give you attitude!
Oh. You said "good" attitude. That is very different. None of that here. Check back on Tuesday.
Wouldn't it be nice to hire s Monday person just to get the week started. I have always been a Tuesday kind of person.

...at least you know which day of the week you're on... you do, donchya? YAM xx
There's not much good to say about a Monday back to work.
Mondays always surprise me. The alarm goes off and I think, "well that's not right..."
But it is. It's always right.
Work, a thing of the past so glad to move on and leave it behind.
As The Beer Fairy says now 'All my days are Fridays now.'

Happy Monday Pearl... keep up the good work ;)
Right back atcha, Pearl. And Tuesday is not typically much better. I get in my groove sometimes around Wednesday.
Work? What's that? :)
Mondays roll around way too soon. One of these days, I'm going to clock out and sleep in. Ah, but then there is the problem of the thieving cat who roams at 4 a.m.
The best thing about Sundays is not having to get ready, mentally or physically, to go to work on Monday.
