Hate Mondays? Well, Tuesdays are even worse, especially if you're a lawyer.

 
 

According to a new survey conducted by Michael Page International, workplace stress amongst legal professionals reaches a high point at 10am on Tuesdays - and, oddly enough, so does traffic to Michael Page's jobs website.
