        Hi Its Monday today. After spending two days going around and enjoying.. I did not want to come to office today. I am not able to cope to the change. I am feeling depressed today and do not want to speak to anyone around. And its 4 O clock in the afternoon. Is it monday blues. How to enlighten own mood? Nothing is working today.? Not able to concentrate on work just spending time on Net. My Team leader is going to give me hard time at 6 O clock when he will ask me the status. This happens to me every Monday. regards Naga

          Take Mondays off. :rolleyes: Seriously, though, Marc's answer isn't too far from the truth. If Monday morning is that much of a drag that it regularly lasts all day, you might want to consider a new line of work or a new company. If you really do enjoy your job and company, then just remember the good times you had over the weekend and think about how the money you're earning will help you enjoy more good times in the future. It's pretty much a matter of just being an adult and realizing you're going to have to work, unless you want to be homeless, so there's no point in moping around about it.

            There are, essentially, two kinds of programmers. The first type went to college and chose software development because they thought it would be a good way to make a living. The second type, whether they went to school or learned on their own, are addicts. They somehow discovered programming, played around with it for a bit, and soon found themselves sitting at the compiler for hours or days on end, not even wanting to get up to go to the bathroom. Their most frequently uttered phrase is, "I'll get right to that. Just one more compile..." It's been my experience that after a few years years, the first type is almost always miserable at worst, dulled, lifeless and unhappy at best. If programming isn't an addictive form of escapism for you (similar to drinking, drugs, playing music, etc.) that you do for fun even when you're not at work, then you should really consider getting out of this business before you ruin your life.

                  So not only do you cheat on your wife, but you're lazy too. Are you new at this day-to-day living stuff? I'm tellin' ya Ragu, you're definitely not presenting a shining example of Indian manhood.

                        hehe... Well, seeing as you've got the smiley going on, I'd surmise you're not moping about, Chris. So you're in the clear. ;) I'd also bet, if I was that sort of fellow, that you've forged your way in career(s) doing things you enjoy, even on Mondays.

                            You do realize you're talking to Ragu - the semi-literate Indian malcontent who couldn't form a cohesive insult if it was written down for him in his own language (if he can indeed read - he certainly has no talent where writing is concerned). By this time tomorrow, this thread will probably have been moved to the soapbox. In fact, I'd like to lobby that this post be moved to the soapbox where it can be properly milked for all it's worth.

                                  You do realize you're talking to Ragu - the semi-literate Indian malcontent who couldn't form a cohesive insult if it was written down for him in his own language (if he can indeed read - he certainly has no talent where writing is concerned). By this time tomorrow, this thread will probably have been moved to the soapbox. In fact, I'd like to lobby that this post be moved to the soapbox where it can be properly milked for all it's worth.

                                    So not only do you cheat on your wife, but you're lazy too. Are you new at this day-to-day living stuff? I'm tellin' ya Ragu, you're definitely not presenting a shining example of Indian manhood.

                                    LOL! :) John, you need to publish a self help book, something like "How to be a Man in 21 days." :)

                                        Ragu posted a message in the soapbox (I think it was last week) in whcih he was roundly chastised, and he responded by posted some illiterate scrawl in Hindi that offended the majority of the Indian population here. Of course, his most serious error was getting my attention. Now, he's toast - just like Link2006 is. They're both permanently on my radar, and if I'm feeling even the slightest bit annoyed when I read their inane crap, they will become a target with every post they make here. Of course, there is the possibility that I'll become bored with them after a while... Unfortunately, when I trawl like that I might net some hapless individual, but hey - I know the job is dangerous, and besides, someone's gotta do it.

                                          A week or so ago this guy posted some weird thread in the SB about sexual fantasies or something like that, with other women besides his wife, and wanting advice on what to do (?? gack, why on earth you'd go on the Internot looking for help on this is beyond me??). John, as always, provided both helpful and entertaining advice, that was not received well. This led to a rather lengthy discussion that largely devolved down to allegations about the origins and species of John's birth mother, as well as questions about the OP's sexual preferences and preferred mating species. All in all, an absolutely entertaining thread, I know I walked away refreshed and ultimately vindicated in my optimistic beliefs for the greater intelligence of the average man.
