Et Cetera

Little wonder employees hate Mondays. The risk of having a heart attack on that day is 40% higher than on the other days of the week, German researchers reported to a New Orleans meeting of the American Heart Association. Heading back to the office may severely increase mental and physical stress, scientists speculate. Heart problems might also be triggered by heavy weekend drinking. No explanation, though, as to why the second riskiest day for worker heart attacks is Thursday. Too excited about Friday, perhaps?
