Let's hope it's a good one?

How bad is 2009 going to be? Well, judging by how much all my Facebook friends seemed to be dreading its first Monday, I'm not feeling optimistic. Here are some status updates I saw when I signed in this morning (in reverse chronological order, of course):

Chris would rather be (backcountry) skiing.
Allison is at work.... blah!
Richard wishes he was working from home.
Shana made it to work. Phew.
Susan is headed back to work this rainy morning.
Joy is at work :(.
Henry and 2009 officially begins. [sic]
Stephanie is blech.
Shana is fighting the urge to stay in bed for a week.
Sarah is kicking and screaming.

Oh, come on, guys, it wasn't that bad. Was it?
