Why aren't there events on Monday nights?

I work a night job, and my "weekend" days are Sundays and Mondays. With Sundays reserved for my boyfriend, Monday nights are my only free nights.

Alas, Mondays are consistently free of NJYP events. I'm wondering if there's a reason for this - have Monday events been attempted in the past? Do people working "normal" hours not care for happy hours so early in their workweeks? Did members say they'd rather watch Monday Night Football or 24? (That shouldn't apply right now, as both their seasons are over!)

I can't be the only person here who is limited to Monday night events. Nor can I believe that no one wants to do anything on a Monday - even if it's a relaxed event like a game night.

Is there any way to gauge interest for events held on Mondays? Or has that day been deemed off-limits? Thanks!

I'd love to meet up with everyone, the problem I face is because I work in NYC I miss all of the events that happen during the week. I try to make it out to events that are held on the weekends but lately it hasn't been happening.

I used to have that problem too, which is why I didn't actually attend an event until maybe 3 years after I originally joined NJYP... Fortunately I eventually changed jobs to a 9-to-5 and was able to start making it out. Do you commute by train? Have you thought about going to the Hoboken events that are reachable by PATH?

I do commute via the train. I'll have to look into the Path because I'm not very familiar with it except when there are problems with NJ Transit and I need to transfer at Newark in order to get to NYC. It's something to look into though.
