They have an equation for everything

I give you….. the “Worst Day of the Year” equation. It will scientifically tell you how depressing this time of year is. Here is the equation:
The equation works thusly: You apply it to each day of the year, and calculate the values. W stands for weather, D for your level of debt, d for your monthly salary; T is “time since Christmas” and Q for the amount of time since you last failed in an attempt to quit smoking. (Smoking? It was written by the British.) M is your “low motivational levels” and NA is the “need to take action.” The gist of it is, if the weather is really bad, you have high debt, and it’s been a while since your last failed attempt to stop smoking, the numerator gets high, boosting the day’s depression rating. If your motivation and ability to take action plummets, the divisor shrinks, creating the same effect.
The most depressing day of the year was Jan. 24th, and there is some debate whether we are currently IN the most depressing week of the year, or whether that was last week.
Even depression has fans.
