A contest on one way of curing the monday-itis

Update: Story Won Honorable Mention- YaY

I stare at myself in the mirror. I look immaculate, as I should, for the company I work for. My sharp blue pin stripe suit jacket is tailored so that it fits my womanly curves in a seductive way and yet still looks very professional. My matching skirt comes to just above my knees and with the dark blue pumps on my feet Iā€™m sure Iā€™m to cause many a heads to turn.

I smile and I canā€™t help but to notice that itā€™s quite cruel. I leave my well-lit bathroom and exit my apartment; double-checking to make sure the door is locked. I pass a woman coming from the elevator juggling two brown paper bags full of groceries. I feel as though I can tell the future. I just know sheā€™s going to drop something and then ask for my help. I sneer as my prediction unravels before my eyes. The woman drops a whole package of toilet paper, Charmin, right into my path.

ā€œOh, sorry. Could you pleaseā€¦ā€

I donā€™t hear the rest of what she was going to ask. I kick the package right into the still open elevator doors and I press the 1 key. I see the woman turn around and stare at me with her mouth open in an O of surprise. I chuckle to myself as the elevator drops to the first floor. Before I exit I kick the ladyā€™s toilet paper out so itā€™s not waiting for her on the elevator.

I walk out my apartment and turn the corner. I only work a few blocks from my apartment and in this crowded city itā€™s faster to walk then drive, besides this is how I get my daily exercise. As I walk I see a woman searching frantically in her purse at a vendor. Itā€™s apparent she lost her wallet or something. The vendor is looking annoyed and so are the people behind her.

ā€œI know I have it. Please sir, I have it,ā€ the woman is whining and she starts to check her pockets.

As I walk by I see a crisp bill lying in front of me. In one smooth motion I bend over pick up the bill and continue walking; never breaking stride. No one notices my movements. I look at the bill and smile at Grantā€™s face.

ā€œFinderā€™s Keeperā€™s,ā€ I say to myself and continue on.

I walk into my office building and sigh. I walk to the elevators and press the up button. Out of the corner of my eye I see a woman walk out of the bathroom smoothing down her skirt. The doors open and I enter first letting her enter behind me. I press the 14th floor button and donā€™t ask what floor she needs. I donā€™t care.

The woman looks at me for a moment then takes the half step over to the button panel and press 9. I stand in the back and arch my eyebrows at her slightly annoyed look. She turns her back to me and I canā€™t help but notice the back of her skirt is tucked into her panty hose. I smile to myself as my lips stay glued shut.

ā€˜Her black thong is really pretty, ā€™ I think to myself.

The doors open and the woman steps off and is bombarded by male employees asking her for coffee, copies, etc. It seems sheā€™s a receptionist and I see the men snicker and make a comment. Before the doors close I see her grab her basically bare bum and yelp in surprise. Right when the door close she turns and I smile that same smile I saw in the mirror this morning. That same smile that lets me know today is Monday, but today hasnā€™t been too bad, especially with my own little way of getting back at Mondays
