90% of my bad work days are Mondays. Mondays are when my customers at the pharmacy are unhappiest because we have problems we need to consult their doctors on from over the weekend. They wait until Friday evening to bring problems to our attention. Typically most doctor's offices won't open until 9AM monday. I open our pharmacy's gate at 9AM and our counter and our phones are immediately flooded with people wondering if it's been done yet. No. Your doctor's office has been open for literally one minute. They have not yet looked at the fax we sent to you buried under hundreds from over the weekend, they have not yet assessed your situation, they have not yet called us with their corrections, and we have not yet prepared your prescription or the dozens of others in a similar predicament that need to be done before yours. Now excuse me while I have this conversation over and over and over again for the next hour before I can get to actually filling prescriptions. And then people wonder why it takes 30-90 minutes to get their prescriptions ready.

I don't dread Mondays, in fact I go in psyched up for the challenge. Some Mondays I kick ass and I feel awesome but some Mondays I don't and it's a bummer.
