I too used to set my own hours and was working up to 60 hours week. I was paid by piece work. I was then asked to work designated shifts to cover others that were taking holidays, I absolutely hated it. I have a real distaste for clocks and calendars.
I work when I feel like it, eat when I am hungry and sleep when I get tired. I do not like others telling me when I can eat or go home or when to show up.

In fact, the term Blue Monday originated with a travel agency trying to market winter vacations a few years back.

"It has taken on a life of its own," Zed said.

Depression and suicide, however, can happen at any time of year and have nothing to do with the January blues, he said.

"There's a real danger in putting too much emphasis on Blue Monday because for vulnerable individuals there's almost an expectation that, 'Oh it's a terrible, gloomy … day and something's going to happen,'" Zed said. "And it gets a bit of traction."

Yesterday was a great day with family - great visit and lots of laughs and certainly nothing blue about it.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?
