“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

What a ghastly, horrible, nasty day this is – a feckless, disgusting, miserable, awful, soul-crushing excuse for a 24-hour span. It is also known as “Monday”, and, like shingles, or the Clintons, you think you have vanquished it, but it keeps popping...

Monday is the worst day of the week for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that you are expected to come into work all bright-eyed and productive. Yet, more often than not, Monday is an incredibly UNPRODUCTIVE day, because there is always so much thrown...

Monday again – as horrid as it is inevitable. It is especially bad, of course, if you have to start your week with a series of impossible demands on your time from multiple groups of people – which is the case for far too many of us. This is also known as...

Mondays, as the meme very kindly provided above by our good friend, Dawn Pine, shows off so well, are just plain AWFUL. This one, however, got off to a surprisingly good start, because I was able to figure out a rather good theme for today’s Great Mondaydact...

Monday is always a pretty terrible day, and it is particularly terrible when things go consistently and persistently wrong. That was certainly the case today, where pretty much everything I did, ended up being late, or off kilter, or just plain messed up. Still and...

If you have spent all of Friday around people, and then 3 hours on Saturday with friends, it is probably fair to say that one Sunday off is simply not enough to recharge – not if, like me, you happen to be a cranky introvert who thinks most people are only...
