How to beat Blue Monday - the most depressing day of the year
UK Telegraph ^ | 1/18/16 | Linda Blair

It may be useful to know that Blue Monday was in fact created in 2005 by a British holiday company. The idea was derived not from the results of any in-depth research, but instead by using a calculation involving such factors as current weather conditions and debt levels. However, while it had no basis in science, the idea caught on, and now many of us have come to dread it.

Nice job on the blue link.

Nice job too in providing an antidote to all the Eagle’s crud going around.

I actually never knew that song’s name was Blue Monday.

Never heard of it. One of those European things, it appears.

Blue Monday - Fats Domino

Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got me workin' like a slave all day

Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play

Here come Wednesday I'm beat to my side
My girl calls, I gotta tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard-workin' day and Friday I get my pay

Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tired has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play

Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth it, all the times [that] I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

Largest selling 12” record in the World. New Order shuld have made millions off of it, but Hacienda (Factory Records) spent so much on the artwork and packaging that they lost money. LOL. God bless them, I have been a fan since Joy Division....

“Blue” Monday actually was a very organized and smoothly running day for me. I should have more of them.

Shouldn't that be "New World Order"?

“Blue Monday,” or as I like to call it in my life... “everyday.”

I just worked my last Monday.

I retire Friday.

That should help.
