"the suckiest week of the year"
According to this article on MSNBC, the past week is the suckiest of the year (Jan 24th being the suckiest day, it was the 23rd last year... so basically the entire week can be written off, I guess).
Some expert on seasonal disorders actually made a formula out of it too:
"The model is: [W + (D-d)] x TQ
M x NA
The equation is broken down into seven variables: (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action."
EDIT: Small bonus: this little Photoshop from a Farker named Heroic Poser.
