Most depressing day of the year
Today, Monday 21st January 2007, is officially the most depressing day of the year. Yep that is right, it is Blue Monday.
By using a formula involving the weather, debt, time since the festive season and general motivation levels, today is that day that nobody looks forward to. I must say I probably have to agree. I arose this morning and saw out the window nothing but grey skies, rain and trees blowing in the wind. I followed the news to see that £77bn has been wiped off the value of stocks in London (Northern Rock’s 46% increase being a notable exception). I then saw that government finances are £46.3bn in the red, and looking at most of the personal finances of the nation, a similar situation of debt is occurring.
I was now really searching to find some good news, but sadly to no avail. The government has lost more data (the MOD at fault this time), a British soldier has been killed in Iraq, flights are still delayed in Heathrow, the Diana inquest still appears to be going nowhere, and the Home Secretary is afraid of walking the streets of London alone at night.
So what good is left in the world. I could only find two things: this blog is continuing and the DFS sale is still on. Yipee!
