第30篇The Blue Days - 英语阅读

Passage 30. The Blue Days Everybody has blue days.
These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely,
and utterly exhausted.
Days when you feel small and insignificant, when everything seems just
out of reach.
You can’t rise to the occasion.Just getting started seems impossible.
On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you.
This is not always such a bad thing.
You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy
that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a
blink of an eye!
On blue days you feel like you’re floating in an ocean of sadness.
You’re about to burst into tears at any moment and you don’t even know why.
Ultimately, you feel like you’re wandering through life without purpose.
You’re not sure how much longer you can hang on, and you feel like shouting,
“Will someone please shoot me!”
It doesn’t take much to bring on a blue day.
You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, find some new
wrinkles, put on a little weight, or get a huge pimple on your nose.
You could forget your date’s name or have an embarrassing photograph
published.
You might get dumped,divorced, or fired, make a fool of yourself in
public, be afflicted with a demeaning nickname,or just have a plain
old bad-hair day.
Maybe work is a pain in the butt.
You’re under major pressure to fill someone else’s shoes, your boss
is picking on you, and everyone in the office is driving you crazy.
You might have a splitting headache,or a slipped dish, bad breath,
a toothache, chronic gas, dry lips, or a nasty ingrown toenail.
Whatever the reason, you’re convinced that someone up there doesn’t
like you.Oh what to do, what to dooo?
