A nice saying to describe a f**ked up day at work ... the experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end. A SALMON DAY. Its just a few days, that I actually learnt the literal meaning of this proverb. Shame On Me.
A common day to day instance for a salmon day will be... I spent all the day working my ass off on this freaking spreadsheet, only to have my computer crash with a blue screen of death at the end of the day, losing all the data. Salmon Day is a work place slang, which refers to the experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed somehow in the end. So, why the term Salmon Day ? Salmon spawn upstream. So they swim up stream to lay eggs and continue their generation. So, a salmon takes the hurdle of swimming upstream and sometimes even get killed in the process. Trying hard to achieve something, but getting nowhere.
I tried so hard, and got so far... but in the end it doesn't even matter.
