yeah FL is the opposite to most places w preferred weather months. March-May is my favorite , July-September is the worst. But if we are talking only sports calendar February does suck : w the NBA it is ‘just get to April’ and w college basketball it is ‘just get to March’. Super Bowl and a lot of nothing of importance
November easily the worst. Days get shorter. Cold, lots of rain, and you barely see the sun. Still far away enough from Christmas for that not to matter*. Busiest time of year at work with the big rush to finish things before Christmas/year-end. *this point made me realize that I forgot about Thanksgiving and likely won’t be getting any support for this take. Oh well.
I had a loaded February last year of 3 concerts in the city, golf trip, pizza and out in asbury park, Super Bowl party, dinners out, brunch, and then before you know it it’s March. Maybe just do stuff and the month won’t suck, ever think of that lol
PNW rankings: July August September - the cool new trend is this is usually when the wildfires start in earnest! October June May December November April March January February
Month rankings worst to best by weather and holidays etc Jan Feb March Nov April December August July May October June September Top 3 on my list can mostly fuck off. Gonna snow bird some day to avoid them
My dad, father-in-law, and both of my maternal grandparents, to whom I was very close, all died in February. Different years, of course. It's like my family made a pact to keep it all in February to get all the gloom out at once. At least my FIL stubbornly held on until after midnight on the 29th so we could only recognize it every four years. If ever there was a guy who didn't want to be the cause of sadness on a yearly basis, it was him.
Unrelated to the topic, but this reminded me that I had a high school teacher lose her mother, father and husband all within a few weeks of each other in separate instances.
Husband dropped dead of a heart attack while mowing the lawn. Think whichever parent went first died of old age and the other died of broken heart. Just absolutely brutal scenario to imagine enduring.
It's sad, but definitely happens. Had a doctor at work explain that the stress, lack of sleep, and fatigue, etc. that can come with losing a loved one can quickly do a lot of damage. That's why so many cases are a heart attack within days.
Culturally, March is great. March Madness is the best. But weather wise, March is the absolute worst.
If you have kids, August is great. After entertaining them/paying someone to entertain them for three straight months, suddenly a bus comes and takes them away for eight hours a day, five days a week, for free.
January is the worst. February is a short month and gateway drug to Daylight Saving Time right around the corner. That alone notches it up one or two from the bottom imo.
February was actually pretty great this year. Went to the Caribbean for 10 days and we’ve had multiple days in the 50s this month. March is gone to suck I’m sure
I’ve long argued that Tuesday is the worst of the days of the week. Lots of work week left, you start to get that stress of shit happening and burnout from Monday and you’re not coming off the weekend.
Discussion reminds me of this. Line 4 Guy https://www.centraltrack.com/uh-oh-its-the-worst-day-of-the-year-again/ Bad news, everyone: It’s the second Tuesday in August, which means it’s once again the worst day of the year — at least according to our favorite personality on KTCK 1310-AM/96.7-FM The Ticket, one Craig “Junior” Miller, who has detailed this belief over the airwaves on various occasions. Today, even in the midst of a still-ongoing pandemic, Miller is re-asserting this position. Once again, the host of the morning drive-time show “The Musers” is choosing to “celebrate” this terrible occasion with the concession that this coronavirus-filled year has been filled with many bad days. It bears noting that Miller’s reasoning for choosing this date is nigh-unimpeachable. His logic boils down to the following points: • August sucks and is objectively the worst month of the year on its own accord. • It’s always stupid hot outside this time of the year — and especially so in Dallas. • There are really no holidays of note around this date. • Network TV is still in re-runs, and prime-time options are slim pickings. • Sports-watching options at this time of year are slim, at best. (Apologies to baseball fans.) • Kids are about to go back to school, so they’re in bad spirits. • Summer is ending, which is a bummer. • Tuesdays are the worst day of the week — because you’re no longer refreshed from the previous weekend and the next one is still a ways off. • Even more specific, the second Tuesday of the month is the worst of all because, during the first Tuesday, you’re still refreshed from the previous month and, during the third and fourth, you can “see the finish line.” If you want to get even more specific, Miller believes that the worst moment of the year also falls today, right when the clock strikes 2 p.m. — given that the night’s entertainment options have yet to arrive and everyone’s still in a post-lunch lull.
Went grocery shopping yesterday and the sell by date on some ground beef was Feb. 29. I was perplexed.
