Step back from the ledge, Starzlife reader. It’s not your fault you’re so goddamn depressed today. It’s “Blue Monday,” and you’re supposed to be. According to FirstCare, a company that counsels firms on absenteeism, and this article, today is officially the most depressing day of the year.
A combination of Arctic temperatures, Christmas debt and the next pay day feeling like it’s months away leaves many of us depressed and unable to face work.
And to make matters worse, you probably can’t afford to take time off sick thanks to the recession or because you’ve already had days off as a result of the snow.
Please. I wish I got days off as a result of the snow, but “I have a cocaine hangover” has not once swayed my boss into giving me paid leave. What a jerkwad.
