Although my dread of Mondays has greatly decreased since I started living that remote-writer-life nearly a year ago, I'm no stranger to the plethora of negative emotions that Mondays can inspire. Back when I was working in healthcare administration, I dreaded Mondays so much that even my Sundays would end up feeling a little bit like a Monday. Nowadays, I absolutely love my job, but sometimes I still have a difficult time getting motivated when Monday rolls around — because weekend vibes aren't always easy to shake. So if you feel like you're your grumpiest, most-bummed-out-self on Mondays, I feel you. In fact, I feel you so much that I went ahead and put together a slough of gifs that will make you say, "me because Mondays."
Of course, if you work in retail, the food service industry, or any other gig where set schedules and weekends off sound like a dream come true instead of something to complain about, then The Monday Blues may not be a thing for you. Heck, Mondays might be your Saturdays. Even if you don't work a Monday-through-Friday kind of job, though, everyone has a Monday of sorts — so I think we can all agree that, sometimes, Mondays just suck.
So without further ado, here are 17 gifs that will make you say, "me because Mondays."
