Just another manic Monday

Today I am going to tell you why I hate Mondays. This could also explain, at least in part, why I'm such a cranky witch at work and people tend to avoid me...lol

Lets start by looking at this. Here is where I work every day. This is my table where I do my magical bakery work. I know, you're all drooling over my luxurious work area.  


So do you see that pink paper hanging on my table? Can you read it? No? Well maybe this will help.

Better? Now you probably wonder what that's supposed to mean right? Well I'm going to tell you any way.
I hung this up this morning as a little motivational reminder to myself, and to possibly make other people wonder.
The person who works, and I use that term lightly, on Sunday is making me crazy. He leaves early every week, leaves half the work undone, and what he does do is not done very well. I've complained to the store manager but he just blows it off. We don't quite see eye to eye ever since I dared to go over his head once.

Any way, recently I heard that the store manager told another employee that he was hoping that I would get ticked off enough to quit. HA HA HA is he crazy? I've been there 12 years, it's a half a mile away from home and it pays more than minimum wage. I'm not going anywhere. Besides irritating him is so much fun.

So back to the sign. I'm pretty sure that the Sunday stuff is partially on purpose to try and make me mad. Now every Monday morning when I start to feel the blood boil and steam starts coming out of my ears I've been saying to myself "It's not working, I'm still here" (Sounds really funny if you say it in a sing song nasaly kind of voice) Today I decided that a visual reminder would be helpful as well. Makes me chuckle every time I say it.

And that, my bloggy buddies, is why I hate Mondays. How about you, do you like Mondays?

Hahahaaa!!! You GO Girl! Don't let 'em run you off! Twits!
Mondays??? Nothing really..It's just 4 more days till Friday...LOL...Otherwise, I'd be pissed!!hughugs

Lin said...

Oh, geesh, that's a bad start to the week. What is his deal??? You gotta beat people like that at their own game. Don't give him the satisfaction of knowing you are annoyed. In fact, be extra pleasant and super sweet when it comes to him and it will drive him NUTS. :) Good luck, pally.

vickie said...

Annie!!! You're on the right track - use reverse psychology and be HAPPY when you go in on Mondays ... or at least act like it. Yeah, like Lin said ;) BTW, great sign ROFLMAO!!

Sandee said...

So you have a slug to deal with every Monday morning. I've had so many of them over the years. Just keep smiling. I like your approach.

Have a terrific Tuesday. I know you will. :)

Miawa said...

Every body has monday blues sometimes but sheesh! I would hate to think every monday was like that. Hang in their Annie, 12 years 12 years 12 years -

Nessa said...

Way to go Ann! Just ignore the bugger... he will be seething inside.. haha!

Ann said...

Donna, good point, I never looked at Mondays that way before...lol

Lin, I'm working on it, hoping that sign will help remind me :)

Vickie, oh yeah, I love the fact that I can hide my irritation from Mr. Manager man. Bet it drives him nuts that I'm still there....lol

Sandee, yep Tuesdays are good days because I know when I go in things will be as they should be.

Miawa yep EVERY Monday, it'g getting very redundant. Yeah 12 years.

Nessa, I'm hoping....lol

It sounds like the store manager needs to grow up. You can be sure that this type of childish behavior will come back and bite him on the butt. Cheers to you for taking the high road. It will drive them crazy!

Hey, if you run out of more relevant things to dig your boss with, you could hit him with a, "Well, that's not the way they do it on Ace of Cakes (Food Network)!" Of course, if all else fails, you could always send Duke up there to give him an attitude adjustment.

Jen said...

I always wish everyone a "Happy Evil Monday" when I arrive at school/work :o) Although I initially thought that Mondays were evil and should be destroyed, I have since come to the conclusion (after numerous Monday holidays) that TuesdayMondays are far worse than MondayMondays. I've decided it's best to stick with Monday in its original evil format. Don't you think?

Rick (Ratty) said...

I think I only like Mondays as soon as I'm on my way home from work. I usually deal with people that anger me with laughter. I very rarely let them know I'm irritated. I also talk to them more to give them back some of their own medicine.

Sheri said...

I hate mondays too. My job is crazy and hectic and to think I have 5 days of it before I get a day off. I guess that's why a lot of people hate them as well.

Unknown said...

Argh, like you or anyone needs the Monday aggravation. Yes, it's not working, don't let him get to you!

Duni said...

Hahaha! oh Ann, you're so funny! I'm glad you're seeing the humorous side of things - makes life so much easier!
The sign is hilarious...wonder if he gets it?

VanillaSeven said...

I love this Monday cause my boss is not around :P

Buggys said...

What a discouraging way to start the week! Is your store manager 6 years old? Bet he didn't learn that in management 101!

Modern Mom said...

Go Annie! I think that's the best way to do it!

Jude said...

I feel so bad for ya Ann, I loved Mondays because they were my day off :). How unpleasant to have to face that every Monday. At first I thought the sign meant because you love your job so much that you didn't think of it as working. They probably wont even get it unless you explain it. Have a good one Ann.

Tammy said...

I only hate Mondays because I have to go back to work. The weekends go by way to fast. You have a much better reason to HATE Mondays.

Grampy said...

Don't let them you wear you out.If anything you can get them to quit.I always hated Mondays.Everyone has a hard time going back to work after the weekend. Take care Ann

Golden Woofs! SUGAR said...

Woof! You make my mom laughs. Check out my blog ... I did a Happy Monday post. It's part of the menu (after my header) on my blog. Reading it might help you change your perspective on Monday. Let us know. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar.

Ann said...

BeadedTail said...

Good for you for not taking his crap! How frustrating to have to deal with such juveniles but sounds like you have it handled. Like Tim said, it'll bite him in the butt someday and you'll have the last laugh!

jam said...

Neither like nor dislike for me. It just another normal day.

Bonehead said...

I've never been a fan of Mondays - however, Tuesday is just ridiculously useless - so I'd opt to eliminate Tuesdays. Although then we'd probably have to work on Saturday - and only have one day for the weekend, and that's not good, so maybe we should just leave Tuesday alone.
