I don't like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats

 

So, it’s Monday again.  It always seems to be Monday and they never seem to get any better.  The Boomtown Rats didn’t like them, still less Brenda Spencer the 16 year old girl whose 1979 shooting spree in San Diego and subsequent blunt explanation inspired their song.    Even if most people aren’t drawn to actually shooting their fellow workers, the third Monday in January is the worst, bleakest, most depressing day of the year.  This is supposedly because Christmas is a distant memory, the credit card bills need paying, the weather is awful and the next holiday is months away.  See this article from Mail Online last year for the full horror story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-509367/Its-miserable-Monday-How-think-positive-bleakest-day-year.html
