Mondays always seem to get me good. Today was no exception...
One of the mall guys (middle management) decided that the themed booth we were building was in the wrong place and in the way of a new ride which was on the way. He shut the site down.
Lots of measuring and discussion took the place of real work over the next hour or so. In the end a simple solution was the key... 10 minutes with a cutting torch cured everything and we continued on. I suspect a little more planning before we got started might have been easier.
Then I discovered that my visa card was missing... another hour wasted on the phone to cure that problem.
Another hour was spent explaining to the mall folks that we were indeed in a hurry and they needed to keep ahead of us with their preliminary work for us to keep on schedule. (happens every Monday )
The simplest solution I have found as far as Mondays go, is to power right through the problems. I try not to let the little setbacks bother me too much.
Thank goodness I now have six whole days before the next Monday!

We normally have lunch at our favorite Restaurant on mondays (we call it our "happy place")...everything after noon looks and works well after that...Monday mornings are still a pain tho.

yep, last week my cell phone turned up missing, then after I found that, I locked my keys in the truck, finally got to work 2 hours late after bummin' a ride to fetch the other set. Once at the shop, I checked the BB & found a "positive post" thread going... no negative comments allowed... I think something like "6 more days 'till monday" was about all I could come up with at that moment

Hi Dan... My Monday went something like this: Got up. Put in my contact lenses. Then put on my glasses. Dog wizzed on the kitchen floor. Outside cat has gone missing. No coffee filters. Made kid breakfast. Got sidetracked & made him breakfast again. Lost garage keys. Went to the bank, passing the post office along the way. Put in $1400. Went home. Saw my Letterville panel sitting on the truck seat, all wrapped up and ready to be mailed. Cut demon vinyl. Paid bills. Put out $1400. Made supper. Did the dishes. Older kid started barfing. Went to bed. ...Now that is a great Monday...can't wait till next week! Love- JILL
