Humpday Kills!
Written by: Laurel May
Just sitting at my desk, listening to a new Beach House track called "Norway," with the work just piling up all around me, when an email came in from my executive editor delivering the news that we'll be working this weekend, and I must admit I entertained brief thoughts of suicide.
Then, after a moment of reflection, I realized that I ALWAYS pretty much want to kill myself on Wednesdays. Wednesdays just totally suck. So, out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search, and guess what? More people off themselves on Wednesdays than any other day of the week! According to a study published in Social Psychiarty and Psychiatric Epidemiology (sounds like a beach read, eh?), TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of suicides occur on Wednesdays! The good news is Thursdays have the very lowest rate of any day of the week, at 11 percent. So, that said, if we make it through today, we'll all probably survive.
Till next Wednesday, at least.

That should cheer you right up.
