This is just a work gripe, but damn, I hate my Thursdays! I have all of my least favorite clients, including the family with parents who belittle and snipe at each other right in front of me and TO me when the other parent isnt' there. The geographical spread of the houses sucks so I'm driving way too much in a huge rush, I feel late all day, have no time to even stop for coffee, get stuck in traffic and generally feel like I want to scream by about noon.

I keep trying to look at my schedule to juggle things around and spread out the misery. But maybe I'm better off just keeping it all on that one day, huh?

Feel free to add your work-related gripes! Or day of the week related gripes!

I like my misery straight up with a side of pms. It makes life fun and I get to use all sorts of fun words

i'm a spread-it-out person. Would rather have 50 tedious and slightly unpleasant things to do than one major root-canal of a task.

I need it spread out - I'm far too short-tempered to deal with it all at once without spontaneously combusting from pure rage.

MNM, that's how I feel. I'm in rage mode all day. The constant feeling of being late all day is enough to make me crazy. I just haven't been able to figure out a better way to schedule everyone so that it would ease things.

At least the bitter, fighting parents' kid is turning 3 in January, then I won't have to go there anymore!

I find that the little things spread out just ruin more days. Rather one bad day that being grumpy for a week.

And that couple you're dealing with sounds like our neighbors at our last station. The were both drinking by four in the afternoon too.

Wait, you mean the misery ends at some point?

i like to have one really shitty day and get it over with -kind of like pulling off the bandaid fast---instead of dragging it out--preferably earlier in the week---so you get over the hump without spending the week dreading it and then the rest of the week is kind of downhill. i'd try to move them all to Tuesdays, so then i'd get it over with and not be dreading them and i could have a decent rest of my week.

yeah, car54, i have basically the same approach. i'd rather have one rough day than a rough task every day. because then i could designate that night "bourbon night".

Ruth likes beer, so I'm guessing tonight is beer night. Hey, I bet that's why she likes the Thursday cocktail parties. I'm all for getting it done in one day as well. Get it over with, tomorrow is Friday, life is good.

Oh yes Diggy, Thursday is beer night. I'd love to move it to earlier in the week but that won't work I don't think. I will think I'll stick to one day of misery. Fridays are always a good day and Mondays are as tolerable as they ever can be.

I think spread out. I can deal with low levels of misery for a long time as long as I think I am managing them and moving forward. Days when everything comes crashing down on me I get all freaked out and stop handling things well.

You need a back rub. It's amazing what you have to endure.

mcglory, I'm like that when things crash down unexpectedly. The more I think about this, I think it's like having all of your least favorite subjects on one day in school. And that might not be so bad, whereas there'd be something to dread every day if I spread the crappy clients and undesirable driving around the week.

I talked myself into keep it this way I think. And it might get a little better in January.
