The long weekend is over (at least, for you - I'm pushing mine until my boss notices that I'm not there, and then I'll plead ignorance), which means that there is a new kind of clear AND present danger today: days of the week, masquerading as other days of the week.

Oh, sure, the calendar may say it's Tuesday today, but I'm not buying it. Take a closer look:



There, under the mask, an evil Monday lurks. Do not be fooled by the mask. It might look like Tuesday, but underneath its flashy red robe it carries deadlines missed, overdue hours needing to be logged, and weekly "sync-up" meetings which will be sprung like traps throughout the day today.

Be warned, and plan accordingly. Tuesday is indeed here, but as a grossly deformed, two-headed turtle. Yes, a turtle:



Please take every precaution and stay safe today. Wear garlic if you have to.

**UPDATE**

See?! This is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about! Would you people please be careful? This two-headed Monday/Tuesday thing ("thing", remember, equals either "two-headed turtle" or "guy in mask") is not messing around here. From Josh Fruhlinger (of the hilarious Comics Curmudgeon site), via Twitter:

"Monday holiday + Tuesday morning trash pickup = oops." (link)

This is not a game. How many more people must suffer?
