Monday, Moanday




Limp, insipid, lame, stale, soggy, callow, soppy, langorous, somnambulist, thesauritically surfeited lazy Monday. Pages and pages of convoluted content. Mind getting fussy and stupid. Time getting susky and sore.

And then, conversation in adjacent cubicle:
Very very senior writer to whittle twittle rookie: I want you to do some groundwork before you begin storyboarding.



Rookie: Yes?

Senior: Take this book. I want you to brush up on colons.

Rookie grimaces: You mean...

Senior smiles: Grammar.

Would have been interesting to see the picture in rookie's head.

The picture? Two large nails, placed in a vertical fashion. Just like a colon.

Moanday sometimes feels worse when it's a holiday for a lot of people (President's day) but it is not something your company observes.
So you still trudge in, bleary eyed and in need for a coffee and not quite ready to hit the ground running. Oh well..
PS: Mukta, I found this food site, lot of focus on food from A.P. Check it out folks if you so please. Good pics of recipes as you cook. It helps a lot if you are trying out something new. -> Recipes from India & the world
