Is Today The Most Depressing Day Of The Year?

According to Cliff Arnall, a health psychologist at the University of Cardiff in Wales, January 23 is the most depressing day of the year.

Here is the formula he used to figure it out: 1/8W+(D-d)3/8xTQMxNA

Actually the formula comes out to say January 24th or the closest Monday to January 24th because Monday is the worst day of the week.

The factors used to make this formula: time passed since the holidays, failure of new years resolutions, credit card debt not yet paid off, and lack of motivation (among others listed in the above linked article).

And I agree. Today is depressing because my car got broken into and now I have to pay to fix it. Damn deductibles!

(Thanks Best Week Ever)

yup that was a pretty stinky day for us all. New year started off ok, but it is just downhill from then.

here's hoping that it all changes for the better.
