Workpacolypse and Mondays

Sadly, I'm going a bit off track because of the situation I am in today ay work. Normally, I'd be making fun of what people post online in the comment section of a given article; however, I've been moved from my office today.

Mondays never really bugged me at work. Quick quips from coworkers like "you must have a case of the Mondays" were never something I took to heart nor paid attention to. For me, Monday is another day. It's the "Tuesday" in my workweek, since I work Sunday through Thursday. However, today is the first day in the four years of being in the professional work force that I have felt the sting of the Mondays.

I work in an office in the English department of a college. I tutor. I spend a good 8 hour day in the same room, on the same computer, help different students. It's a tedious routine, but it's a routine I enjoy. I come into work at 9am everyday, and after a fulfilling day at work, I leave the office at 6:30 at night. Same old same old. Except today is different.

To sum up everything without getting too detailed, I can not be in the office because of construction, and I'm stuck in a 6x4 cubical with three other people. I'm sitting on my iPad in a cubical normally used for students to study in as a "quiet area." Although it sucks, I'm still not down on myself because it's Monday. I'm more pissed that I can't do any writing for ComicVine or PrattleRattle.com. I'm on the school's Internet, which is insanely slow, and vie spent the past 25 minutes searching my email to get a password for the Sirius App, so I can at least listen to Howard Stern or some music while feeling enclosed all day. So, this little piece I guess is a feel sorry for me piece more than anything, but it's better than nothing, eh?
