We’ve all experienced it.

It’s cloudy, the hours crawl by more slowly than a caterpillar, and there’s nothing to look forward to when you get home from work. Nothing catastrophic has happened, but nothing particularly good has happened, either. You take a sip of bland coffee, glance at a boring spreadsheet, then out at the dismal, colorless sky. It’s a “blah” day.
