Holiday Cheer
Dear Coworkers,
When you harass me to come to the company-wide combined gift exchange (which I’m not participating in), bake-off (which I’m neither judging or baking for) and drinking festivities (which I’ve tried to make clear that I’m not all that interested in) and I come and don’t enjoy myself, don’t get angry at me. These just aren’t the things I get excited about.
-Greg
Hmmm…
Maybe that could be more concisely put,
Dear Coworkers,
Fuck off.
-Greg

If by “case of the mondays” you mean “case of the workdays,” then yes.
But looking at it from your perspective of “stability,” I do feel a little better. Heh… suckers.
ありがとう.
Posted by: kasei on December 19th, 2003 7:29 PMGreg, the holidays are indeed a special time… like special needs. I resent that the spirit is given in a chronological frame, which serves no other purpose than to create both stress and money for people who are not me or my friends. Of course, I’ve always been the Christmas crank. I don’t feel the spirit until mid-January, after everyone else has reverted back to not even being facetiously polite.
And I think you should go with your second draft. The second draft leaves more to the imagination, that is if any of your co-workers has imagination.

It’s been said before, and it’ll be said a thousand times over:
It sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.
—lighten up greg, ‘tis the season. and just think of how miserable your co-werkers’ lives have to be for them to enjoy crap festivities with people they mildly resent. at least you have the stability and sense to dislike the whole affair.
