Holidays are Tough

Why is it that the day after a holiday is such a pain in the butt?

I am not referring to the inevitable hangover that many of you might be suffering from. I am referring to the choas that seems to develope when people have an extra day off.

Monday was President's Day. A local, state and federal holiday. That means that the courts and schools were closed. I took the day off and spent time with my kids. We hiked down by the Cahaba River and generally had a good day.

However, when I returned to work on Tuesday, the world had changed for the worse yet again. The stock market crashed (again) and clients would not stop calling with problems. Job security is nice, but it never fails. I just don't get it.

Anyone out there have an answer? Please enlighten me.
