Monday blues

Don't you think it's unfair that after two days of no-work during the weekend, we working stiffs must return to the reality, necessity, duty of work on the first day of the week?

- JULLIE Y. DAZA

And that, as an inescapable consequence, we are saddled with the inevitable “Monday morning blues”?Monday, the first day after the two-day weekend, Saturday followed by Sunday, the day God allowed himself to take a rest after creating the universe for birds to fly in the air, fish to swim in the water, human beings to walk the earth, work. Monday, named after the moon, Lunes in Spanish and Tagalog, Lundi in French, Mond in German. Ask your friend or anyone within hearing distance, now, as we speak, “Do you like Mondays?” and ten to one you'll get “No” for an answer.
