Although the symptoms aren't physically painful, they are discomforting. The causes are varied, and as yet, the cure is undiscovered. The mast severe attack occurs early in the morning, when the victim- is ;eked by a buzzing in his. ear. After the initial shock r• passes, he fumbles for the source, which is • usually an alarm clock:fie tries several methods to relieve the din. He may bury .his head under 'a pillow or drop-the clock into a drawer or"throw it into the-farthest corner of the .room. When he finally quiets theAlarm, he slumps back on the bed exhausted. His . peace is short-lived, ho.k,ever, for he soon Prodded by the voice of his conscience... • The murmur begins gently, hut, i( unheeded, it builds to a' deafening crescendo. "You've 'got to get up." You* can't stay under the warm blankets au,),; longer. The holiday is over. You've got to get up. Get up! GET ilk" The.victim is thus forced to drag himself out, of bed. This action is hampered by a sluggish . feeling. Most - investigations reveal the sluggishness results from the consumption of to much food and drink during the previous two week-s. An ; immediate cure is impossible: only time, exercisceand diet will relieve the inertia. To quickly disrupt drowsiness, the victim May splash cold water on his face or gulp a cup of 'strong coffee., ' • The next attack of the "blahs" strikes. • O • when he steps outside. He is confronted by a fluffy, white expanse that used to be his driveway. The 'mound in the middles his car. Each time he lifts a shovel full of snow, another muscle strains., His red nose runs, his fingers become numb and his toes sting. The ringing in his ears resumes. when he starts the motor, press'es the accelerator and hears only the .sound of spinning tires. When he finelly arrives at work, the glare from his boss informs him' he's late. This causes another symptom -of the "blahs" - chagrin. The victim feels Abashed because he has' already broken— one 'of his New Years 'resolutions, He vowed he wouldn't he late again. As the day progresses, a few more pangs hit him.•fle forgets to change the date from 1975 to 1976 and gtUrnbles every time he has to correct a mistake. His frustration mounts. as he' audits, his accotinfs- and discovers his figures aren't balanced. Then he experiences a sickening thud in his stomach when he learns how much money he has 'to, scrape together before April.. By the end of the ,day, he is exhausted, He collapses on his 'bed again.., Before he relaxes, however, his conscience 'reminds him, "Set the.-alarm. You've got te. get up early in the morning. Do you 'Want to he late again? Set the alarm. Set it. SET IT!," The victim spends a restless • night knowing he'll be harrassed again.tomorrow ,by. those January "blahs".
