Most Depressing Day

A no-so accredited academic source, a former part-time tutor at an UK university, has calculated the most depressing day of the year to be the Monday of the last full week in January. Called 'Blue Monday', the date was calculated using many factors, including: weather conditions, debt level (the difference between debt accumulated and our ability to pay), time since Christmas, time since failing our new year’s resolutions, low motivational levels and feeling of a need to take action. Mind you the 'calculations' fail to make any sense. This year, it was yesterday. My day yesterday was pretty long, but fairly enjoyable. I have definitely been more depressed. I hope January 19th went well for everyone else.
