Having a Bad Day at Work?
Everyone in the world has a bad day at work sometimes. But do they really? Maybe they just think they're having a bad day, when in fact their day could be better described as "average." Maybe all those people having "average" days, who think they are having "bad" days, are really just distracting attention from those really having bad days who wonder why no one cares. Is your workday "bad" or merely "average-bad"? Take this easy true/false quiz and find out! Good luck!

Did you answer "true" to ten or more of the above? Chances are you're having a bad day at work. People who are having a bad day at work get along well with people who are clinically depressed and people who work in factories. They do not get along well with people who think they are having a bad day, but are in fact having an average day. People who have more than six bad days at work per month should consider finding other employment.
