Lets face it – Mondays suck. Back to class, back to work, back to the grind. We’d all rather be partying with friends, taking turns at the hill, or maybe just catching up on the ol’ tube. Case of the Mondays hopes to give you some helpful tips to make your work or school week go by a little quicker, because no matter if you’re working or in school – everybody’s workin’ for the weekend.

Rage Mask: For those who keep up on internet trends, you’ll recognize this little guy. He’s the face of “Fuuuuuuuu Comics” aka Rage Comics. When you find yourself in situation where you feel like maniacally screaming “F%@#!!!!!”…he does it for you. Being that I find myself in numerous situations that I’ve related to these Rage Comics, I figured out how I could make it work in real life situations, away from the web. Ever had to answer a question in class just because your teacher could see you weren’t paying attention? Ever had the receptionist interrupt your web surfing session to tell you that “your Mom wants you to call her back after work”? Problems solved.

Rather than bottling up your rage and exploding on some unfortunate soul, why not just identify yourself as “raged?” That way, people will KNOW to avoid you on a Monday. Teacher will stop pickin’ on you, and the receptionist will already understand that you won’t call your mom back. With the Rage face, just simply print and cut out the included Rage face, and watch it work. I’ve already seen it action!

Print this off first!

Fresh bowl of Charms and no milk? RAGGGGEEEE!!!!! Angry breakfast eater avoided!

Comin' home from a hard day at the office with some healthy snacks! Oh no! The integrity of this plastic bag has been compromised! RRRRAAAGGGEEE!!!! Better stay out of the way of the savage shopper!

Just strummin' on the strings with my new pi...oh damn it, I dropped my pick in the sound hole!!! RRRRRAAAAAGGGEEEE!!!! Run for the Hills - this sour serenader is FURIOUS!

Check back next week for a new Case of the Mondays!

So a month or two ago, I wrote about Spring rituals…

Well, as much as we might be known for other kinds of  spring rituals, we try our best every year to do a good solid Spring Cleaning…

Cleaning supplies in hand...

To do a good cathartic clean you have to embrace a certain ruthlessness...

First Floor "Before" shot...

First Floor "After" shot...

You have to get aggressive and move furniture...we found a Lilliput under the couch on the left...

Like a lot of things in life sometimes you just have to commit…when you do, you’ll be more than happy that you did, once you’re proven successful.

He’s out there setting up with the folks at Windell’s

Dumont’s been watching the dog while Ron’s better half is at work… but you can’t teach an old dog (or young one for that matter) new tricks…

Well here’s Gracie camped out waiting for Ron to get back…

Note the lack of collar and leash…Gracie’s been known to hot-lap the office regularly when she’s here with Ron…notice how well behaved and calm she is without Ron here…Coincidence?
