Monday Motivation

EmilieT — Mon, 14 May 2018 10:28:02 GMT

Good morning everyone!

Mondays tend to have a bad rep and the mere thought of it makes some people feel a little down ...

But Mondays aren't all so bad! All we need is a little motivation, and a lot of coffee (or tea)

... So what helps you guys cope with Mondays? Let's share some Monday motivation and beat the Monday blues together!

My Monday started the same as ll Mondays. I'm usually in the pub by hook or by crook on a Sunday evening o I'm up to silly o'clock playing catch up on the PC and the TV. So a long lie-in interrupted at 11am by a phone call (which I thought was the alarm and by the time I realised it wasn't, of course they hung up just as I attempted to answer!). When I tried to call back it was a central switchboard and they had no idea who had called me. Still waiting for them to call me back but I guess it wasn't important. Therefore a big cup of tea sat at the back door with the sun streaming through so not all bad. It's amazing just how the day looks different when the sun is shining.

Mine started on a positive note.The sun was shining and really that's all I needed.

Had a great night out with out 'gang' to celebrate my husbands birthday, so that was still on my mind. (Even though there was a lot of banter about Hamilton winning the Spanish F1 and what the hell had he done with his hair? I just replied, 'if everyone on that grid had hair like Lewis..... it might help them win. (Instead of crashing out and ruining a £50 million car")

This morning I have been painting fence trellis and started clearing out the garden pots for annual planting...

A good day so far...

@jonsie

I hope you'll get your callback soon and find out what they wanted! In the meantime the image of you sitting with your cup of tea and watching the sunrise reminded me of this -

@Cleoriff

Such a productive Monday, after a lovely weekend! A happy start to a happy week I'm sure

My Monday started great. Received 2 orders from Amazon and even saw on a map where the driver was in relation to my address so that I was standing right by the intercom when the bell went, rather than rushing (as much as I can rush!) to the intercom to answer before they disappeared.

Amazon don't always show the map for deliveries which is a shame as it's super helpful when your waiting for a delivery as I pretty much always am on a Monday 🤣

Same here @Glory1. I was expecting an Amazon delivery today and surprised to see a little map showing where the driver was ...also 'your driver is two stops away from you'. (By the time I read that he was pulling up outside)

Re: Monday Motivation

Glory1 — Mon, 14 May 2018 15:28:39 GMT

I just stayed with the map @Cleoriff and when it said the driver is on his way to you, got up and stood by the door. The bell which is very loud, still made me jump even though I was expecting it 😂🤣

I felt like this on Sunday but then Monday wasn't too bad, the opposite actually after having a few cups of coffee!

Glory1 — Mon, 21 May 2018 10:47:30 GMT

Love the pic @EmilieT. It's certainly motivated me, as has Amazon Logistics waking me up with a delivery from Amazon far earlier than expected 😉😁

I'm going to attempt to 'roll down' to the pub rather than 'roll home' like Sunday, as my battered face will testify

You need to get your new leg working properly @jonsie...then maybe you could get a 'Blade'

and run there and back to the pub faster than anyone else...

If you dislike Mondays and you like Fridays, then it's time to find a new job or start a new business.

Or just retire, like me and many others @Korkmaz

You could join the dole queue too I suppose, haha. I once had a job that I absolutely hated, the money was good, but I hated being there. I left and started my own business. I made less money at first, but I was my own boss and it made me happy. When one door closes, another one opens up.

Cleoriff — Thu, 24 May 2018 08:58:39 GMT

Totally agree @Korkmaz. Good for you taking that step into the unknown 😎

While I am not in a job i dislike (actually I really like it) I don't like the (minimum) 45 minute drive each way.
So I have applied for (and passed 1st interview stage) a job with a different company.
Why is this a big decision? Because I will have finished 15 years service with the same company at start of August...
