Monday Melancholy: A Whimsical Woe

Create an illustration depicting a whimsical office scene on a Monday morning. The foreground features a disheveled desk cluttered with crumpled papers, a cold cup of coffee, and a calendar page flapping in the breeze, marked with the word "Monday" circled in red. In the background, a window reveals a gray, overcast sky, casting a dull light into the room. A cartoonish character, looking exhausted with drooping eyelids and a slumped posture, sits in a swivel chair, gazing longingly at a door labeled “Enthusiasm” that’s slightly ajar, with a briefcase labeled "Permanent Leave" slipping through. Use a muted color palette dominated by grays and blues, with splashes of yellow for the coffee and red for the calendar. Employ a playful, exaggerated cartoon style with soft, rounded edges and a touch of surrealism to emphasize the character's despair. The overall atmosphere should evoke a sense of comedic melancholy, capturing the essence of Monday blues.
