Monday Blues???

A good friend and I exchanged SMSes this morning and in one of her messages she said "...today Monday is a sian day." I paused, gave it a thought and replied her "Everyday is the same to me now because I've taken on a 24/7 job..." Indeed, my daily routine sometimes start as early as 5:30am, and I try to start my day with a smile. How can you not smile when you have a 9 month old fellow smiling at you from her cot right next to your bed? Well, I can't. My tight facial muscles will automatically relaxes itself and acknowledge by putting the elasticity of my facial tissues to test. ^.^

But you know, I used to have Monday Blues too when I was in the workforce. In fact, I bet most of my ex-colleagues in the logistics/supply chain industry will still remember my "lung gar" face (upset, flat or expressionless) when I step into the office on a Monday morning only to hear of a shipment delay or documentation error. It'll take fire-fighting conversations, lots of impatient phone calls and many cups of black coffee to save the day. In fact, I think coffee's not a beverage to me then. Its an "escape route" which takes me away from my work to the pantry or canteen.

Nowadays, I still drink my usual black coffee. But I'll sip it slowly to enjoy its aroma while watching my girls ransack my house. And I drink it almost every other day, not just Mondays...
