British psychologist calculates most depressing day of the year

In this article entitled Monday, Jan. 24, called worst day of the year, a British psychologist came up with some odd way of calculating the most depressing day of the year using the following formula:


[W + (D-d)] x TQ
      M x NA

The equation is broken down into six identifiable factors: (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action.

Now, normally I wouldn't care about something like this, but January 24th just happens to be my birthday. Now THATS depressing.
