Get a load of this!
LONDON
(Reuters) - Be warned. Today (24 January) is going to be the most depressing day of the
year. By using a complex mathematical formula,
psychologist Cliff Arnalls has calculated the misery is about to peak in four
days' time.Fading memories of
Christmas, mounting festive debts, foul weather, failed New Year resolutions
and the long, dark nights create the perfect mix for gloom, says the Cardiff
University expert who specialises in seasonal disorders.Gives a new spin to the saying that our
days are 'numbered' don't you think?
But here in the office, the morning got off to a rocky start - a
just detected mistake in a client's brochure, an aborted staff meeting.
Makes me wonder if there's anything to the numbers game afterall.

He may be right.. I woke up with vertigo and staggered to work today. Checked my credit card balance in shock. And feeling a little blue after long weekend. But maybe it's my car accident last week and waiting for my case in operation theatre all day long.

Sigh. Can maths really predict such situations? Not having a good day myself either.
Hey YY (nice of you to drop by), and Rachel:I have a theory. It's not 24th Jan that's the matter - It's the Monday Blahs. For instance. do you know how often people call in sick Monday? Also Monday is the favoured day for suicides acording to stats.
