    This is dumb. I’ve had jobs I love, and jobs I hate. When I hate Mondays, there’s something I dislike about my job at the time.

    Also, it’s natural to dislike the day back to work after time off, assuming you’ve got a lot of work to do.

      Also, it’s the job you hate, not the economic system. People living in a feudal society also hated Mondays, the difference being that they hated Saturdays too because they worked 6 days a week, 12+ hours a day. They even worked on Sundays, but it was just a lighter form of work – mending garments instead of plowing fields.

      Until the Replicator makes the world post-scarcity, some work is going to be inevitable, so there will be days of working, and days of no work. The first day back after a break will always be annoying.
