Word of the Day: January 24th

Today is January 24, the “most depressing day of the year,” according to a U.K. psychologist. Do you feel it? Judging by the fact that the sun is out today, it's a little bit warmer than yesterday and it's not raining, I think this year's most depressing day was yesterday. Plus it was Monday and that always adds to the misery of waking up to a full five-day week. But today is Tuesday and there are still four full days of work left before we get a weekend.

According to Health magazine, here are the reasons today sucks so bad:
Credit-card bills from the holidays are due, New Year's resolutions likely have been broken, and low light levels create seasonal affective disorder, which causes people to feel as if a shadow is over them.
I think we're doomed today. Everyone in the world knows it's the worst day of the year. So why did we even arrive at work today? The way I see it, none of us should have even bothered getting out of bed this morning. Well, we'll see how it progresses and make a determination this evening based on events that happen today. I still think yesterday is going to take the prize for worst day of the year. Just tell me you weren't in a bad mood yesterday for no apparent reason. I dare you.
