Warning: Worst Day Of Year Around Corner The most miserable day of the most depressing month of the year is just a week away, according to research. Psychologist Dr Cliff Arnalls has come up with a formula pinpointing Monday, January 24 as the gloomiest day of all.The Cardiff University expert weighed up the influence of a number of January-specific phenomena that ruin our mood. He blamed miserable weather, mounting debt, the length of time since Christmas and failed New Year's resolutions for the depressing day. The factors are compounded by a lack of motivation in the face of a need to take action. For those wishing to examine their woe further, the formula is [W+(D-d)]xTQ MxNA. It translates as weather (W), debt (D) (minus the amount of money to be paid on your next pay day) and the time (T) since Christmas. Then there is the period since the failure to quit (Q) a bad habit along with general motivational (M) levels and the need to take action (NA) to plan something to look forward to.
I can see how that works! Debt isnt a problem to me but the weather does my head in as well as the fact I lack motivation! Especially after Xmas! With the Great North Run on the cards I better sort myself out!
The boffin knows this!!! Thats why he said "debt (D) (minus the amount of money to be paid on your next pay day"
i'd have to disagree the worst 3 weeks of my mentally sane life are slowly coming to an end and the 24th is the glorious day that it's all over!!! 5 exams over 8 days finishing friday and 2 pieces of course work in on monday! plus had debt before i even got back to uni for these horrendous exams with a lovely letter of the bank saying we're charging you for not having any money and for withdrwing money without knowin you were skint ha ha ha we're so funny then its St-tropez day for me on monday afternoon and drinking all week especially WEDNESDAY as it is my birthday think 24th onwards is looking pretty good

Re: Warning: Worst Day Of Year Around Corner technically spence, days cant be "around corners" as you say. This is because a day is an abstract noun, which means that it is an idea that can't be touched etc. mixing this with the concept of a corner, which i am assuming is of the walled variety, which is whats known as a concrete noun - ie you can touch it, and it is real, is unfeasable.
