I agree whole-heartedly. Monday, everybody’s sympathetic. If things are going badly, you get a ride because it’s dirty, rotten Monday.

But Tuesday? You’re on your own. It’s almost like everyone’s come completely down off their weekend high; there’s hostility and short tempers.

I’ve never had an explanation for this; I’ve only known that for me, Tuesday is the worst day of the week.

I always figured it’s ’cause I was born on a Tuesday…

I haven’t thought about Tuesday’s as being the most stressful, but I will be more aware. Life is too short to be killed by your job. I have recently been aware of how strongly stress impacts our health and I am trying to limit my stress levels as much as I can.

I agree with the study. I realized a long time ago that Tuesdays were when I felt the shittiest about my job. Sure I get the Sunday night blues and hate getting up on Monday morning, but you spend part of Monday catching up with co-workers, so the day goes by pretty smoothly. Then I’m back at work on Tuesday and the full weight of my dissatisfaction crushes me.

I have to admit that this might be different if I had a job I actually liked, but unless you’ve got your dream job Tuesday is still the worst day.

I’ve always believed that Tuesday is the worst day. Monday you are flying high from the weekend, but by Tuesday that is gone and there is still a lot of time before Friday. I’m glad I am finally being backed up by a study.
