WotD: Bad hair day

Bad hair day.

Bad hair day!

BAD HAIR DAY!

You know what’s worse than a bad hair day?

Having a bad hair day and Mondayitis at the same time.

It’s like the universe is conspiring against you.

A bad hair day is when everything goes wrong, but it all starts with your hair being especially unmanageable.

Picture this: you wake up on a Monday morning feeling exhausted even though you didn’t have any fun on the weekend and dreading the day ahead.

You stumble to the bathroom and glimpse yourself in the mirror.

And what do you see?

Your hair is like a bird’s nest.

You try taming it with some water and a brush, but it’s useless.

It’s like your hair has a mind of its own, and it’s decided to rebel against you.

You consider wearing a hat, but remember you don’t have one.

So, you resign yourself to the fact that you will have a bad hair day.

But wait, it gets worse.

You start feeling the full force of Mondayitis.

You can’t concentrate on anything, your energy levels are at an all-time low, and you want to crawl back into bed.

As you make your way to work, you can feel the stares and judgment of everyone around you.

They’re all secretly thinking, “Wow, she has let herself go.”

You try to avoid eye contact and make a beeline for your desk.

But then something strange happens.

As the day goes on, you forget about your bad hair day and Mondayitis.

As you leave work, you glimpse yourself in a window and realize that your hair doesn’t look that bad after all.

So, if you ever have a bad hair day, remember that it’s not the end of the world.

Sometimes, you only need a bit of perspective and a good laugh to get through the day.

And hey, there’s always Tuesday.
