Monday IS the best day of the week

Talk about going against the flow eh? I heard someone on the radio this week say something along the lines of “Sorry that it’s monday, to cheer our listeners up we’ve got a great selection of music…”, man was I annoyed.

Can someone tell me what exactly is wrong with Mondays, when I get up after the weekend I’m itching to get with work, that’s right I do actually get excited about going to work (Ok granted, I don’t even have to leave the house to get to the office and I have my wife with me most of the time).

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a workaholic, I love the weekend and relish the opportunity to have that all important rest from work, but two days just about cuts it for me. Having said that, I also love my job, the challenges and rewards it brings along with the time spent with friends and collegues. 

Without bragging I guess I do have the added benefit of being my own boss, I don’t have to do what I’m told (not entirely true, right Craig?). I’m hoping now writing this that the staff all feel the same way too, I try to encourage an atmosphere where new ideas, innovation and change are praised, and for good reason; it’s good for the business and they’ll feel the benefits too.

You’ll know you’re in the right job when you go to bed on a Sunday night thinking “I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow!”.
