About This Quiz

EVERYBODY'S WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND! Every work week, we all look forward to the coming of Friday. We praise Wednesday because we've made it to the hump. Every Sunday night, we dread Mondays because who needs them? Mondays are often the most stressful day of the week so we want you to tell us about your Monday and we'll tell you how you should spoil yourself this weekend!

Every Monday, the stress of the work week begins. Millions of people are driving to work while others are commuting through public transportation. Did you get stuck in traffic? Were the buses or trains so crowded that you had to stand the entire way there?

Sometimes when you get to work, the experiences don't get better. You might be dealing with an overbearing boss or incompetent co-workers. Did your boss give you more assignments on top of the ones you already have? Are your co-workers constantly trying to push off their work on you?

Often when people find themselves in a job, it's not even the career they want. Are you working at a job that is below your education level? Are you grossly underpaid? All these factors might add up to why you hate Mondays! This is why you should definitely spend the weekend spoiling yourself. Do you need a quick trip or do you need to unwind with your best friends? There's only one way to find out!
