Monday is Alright

I am off today. Unlike the majority of the working world, I have Mondays off. I take great care to keep my Mondays free. As a result of my days in the foodservice industry I have learned the value of not working on Mondays. It is like Sunday but the stores are open and are usually almost empty. Same with restaurants, movie theaters, and you name it. The nine to five Monday through Friday crowd does not go out on Monday.

I can catch up on any TV I missed from the previous week on Mondays. Or I can open up all of the windows and the doors and spin my vinyl record albums as loudly as comfortable as I drink iced tea on my porch. I do not have to worry about bothering people because all the people are at work.

I can act indignant if some functionary interrupts my day with piddly ass things that should not intrude upon my weekend, or I can take care of business and get a jump on the week. It's just like eating cake and having it too. It would be impossible to eat cake without having it. Mmmm cake. I want some. Back on track. I try hard not to abuse this Monday is my day off power I hold, but it goes to my head sometimes.

This is a couple of paragraphs about having Monday off. There is a lot more to it but I am going to cut it short. There is no baseball on until later today and I am trying not to be so obsessive about the game for a while so I have plans to catch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at a local not for profit theater then come home and listen to the games instead of watching them as I sip iced tea on the porch until the street lights come on. Sounds like summer.
