Football Happiness, Part 1
Sep

2008
I was at work, thinking that my mood on Monday mornings varies by how certain football games went. Especially if Ohio State had a bad week – that makes it easier to face the OSU fan at work. The way Michigan has been playing (not competing, just playing) lately also makes it hard to face anyone who is not a Michigan fan.
Being an engineer, I thought there must be some way to quantify this effect. So I made up a way to quantify it and the result is at the Happiness Calculator page.
“Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.”

That was fun, although I’m supposed to be Glum right now. Did you make up the moods? What is the official definition of Glum? Oh, there may need to be more teams on the DO NOT LIKE side. I put down OSU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, USC and didn’t have any room for any team from Florida or any other Big Ten team (MSU).

I did make up the moods, but I will be refining them soon, as well as adding entertaining graphics.
I think the moods are valid for only two days. So for college games, your mood reverts to Normal about Monday night.
