(Do) I hate Monday?

Once I entered the working life, there was one thing that came to my mind, “I hate Monday.. Why there is such a day called Monday, when weekday starts?” Seriously, you know, I never had such a mind, well, at least not as severe as, what I am feeling now.

When I discussed it with one of my fellow, she said, “Well, you’d never been working, had you? It is natural. BUT, it should not be that fast.”

“But, PhD is also working. Moreover it is not different with what I am doing now”. I replied.

“No, PhD is a student. So it is different.” she said.

Later on, I got this “enlightment”, literally. I would not expect that the “possibly best” answer for my question would come this fast. Thanks to my ‘previous’ PhD supervisor who made me come to the office on Sunday. You know? The thinking came to my mind when I saw my office and PhD students’s one.

And I think the “possibly best” answer on why I hate Monday now is..

***
PhDs have no weekends. Why they should bother on what day or time it is (even what season or year it is). It does not make any difference. The work always waits you, whenever and wherever you are.

Now that I realized that though I hate Monday, I also happier to look forward to weekends.

NOTE:
Sometimes I go to my office on weekend to work on my thesis and I always find the same thing. The lights on staff office are off. PhD office and labs’s lights always ON!
