Blue Monday (date)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue Monday has been classified as the most depressing day of the year: January 22, 2007
This date was calculated by Dr. Cliff Arnall, a researcher/tutor at the University of Cardiff's Center for Lifelong learning, and has been quoted in the press.
The date was calculated by using many factors, plugged into a formula. The factors include: weather conditions, debt level (the difference between debt accumulated and our ability to pay), time since Christmas, time since failing our new year’s resolutions, low motivational levels and feeling of a need to take action.

How ironic. I had just been thinking that this was the first day of the rest of my life, and how exciting that was. Good thing I got to my brain before Wikipedia did.  |

I think "Doctor" Arnall is a misanthrope.

OK, this is how depressing "Blue Monday" is:
HOW DEPRESSING IS IT DAVE?
'Glad you asked....
It's SO-O-O-O-O-O depressing that we actually had this story in our newscast today.
That's either a comment on:
1) how lame our newscast is
2) how pervasive depression is
3) how starved we are for news that makes us feel better
4) how twisted Dr. Arnall is
5) How dreary it is in Cardiff

Seems to me, that if this is indeed the most depressing day of the year, that things have to get better from here!

That figures, I had the worst day of the last 10 years today. First I found out I'm diabetic in the morning and have to go on medication. Then I lost a major client in the afternoon. Sux!
Major wake up call. |
