1. Learning to Love Mondays   

Some studies suggest there is a link between Monday 
mornings and an increase in heart attacks, tension headaches, 
suicides and car accidents. Too many folks, wasting away in 
Dilbertville, aren’t too excited to wake up Monday mornings. 

One of the measures of workplace success then, must include 
the “Monday morning moaning measurement.” This index correlates  
the level of moaning one does on a Monday morning directly to 
how much one is enjoying their workplace environment. 
In other words, happier workplaces = less moaning.  

Which brings us to the “Why I LOVE Monday Mornings” contest. 
Thanks for all the goofy, terrific entries. We did a random
draw from the top five entries, and the winner of a deck 
of Putting Humor to Work memory cards is Shirley Jones, 
who went above and beyond my submitting 14 reasons to love 
Mondays, including . . .

- They only happen once a week! 
- No calls from phone solicitors at work!
- No washing machines at work! 
- No children with squirt guns near my desk! 
- The morning commute is great practice for the 
  Indianapolis 500! 

Enjoy your Mondays everyone, and always remember, waking 
up on a Monday morning . . . is a good thing.

2. Mike's Fun at Work Tip – High Flying Fun at Work 

Several organizations hold annual paper airplane-making 
contests, wherein teams are given a half an hour or so 
to create the best paper airplane. Teams can be judged 
on longest flight, most creative design or best plane name.

"Sometimes you just need to look reality in the eye, and 
deny it." Garrison Keillor

4. It's a Wacky, Wacky World

Looking for another career? Something that offers low
stress? How about this: Federal Express pays a person to
ride along as a passenger in their delivery trucks in L.A.
so they can use the express lane!  

Happy hump day! Remember, only 5 days until Monday!
