2006 has officially started.

And what do you know? Researchers are all over the papers this morning with their discovery that the first day back at work after the holidays is the most depressing day of the year! Wow. Genius. Depleted bank accounts, increased waistline, etc. etc., I wonder why it took them this long to realise that?

But the worse is yet to come for England apparently. The telegraph reports that officially January 23 is the day to dread. Maybe it’s more to do with the fact that people here get paid only once and payday is always at the end of the month. By the second week of January we’re all paupers after embracing the commercialisation of Christmas & its sale season cousin.

Then another silly news is that flogging of “real” happiness is in hard work! Read it here. Eh?

If hard work is the path to true happiness why did I (& the rest of the commuters today) have a long face this morning? All of us looked like we battled with the bed covers. In the end the need to cover the overdrafts & pay the credit cards won out.
