Today, was kind of a dreary rainy day here in Korea. It was yet again Monday, and it seemed like everybody was tired from the weekend. I ran into my boss in the hallway and asked him how he was today and he replied by saying he had the "Monday sick." "Monday sick?" I replied. He then explained that it was a popular saying in Korea for when you weren't to excited about Monday or you are just dreading going back to work after a busy weekend. Later on in the day I asked another co-worker about this saying, she confirmed the meaning and then said "yeah, Monday sick. You don't use this saying?" I said, "no, the only thing we say is da*% it's Monday or maybe in a rare instance you could say you have the "Monday blues." She was shocked, and said they use this saying all of the time. So, I hope you all have a Great Monday and don't catch a case of the "Monday Sick!" Or better yet, call your boss next Monday and tell him you can't come in because you have a case of the "Monday Sick!"
XOXO, Brandi
