Waiting for something interesting to happen, such as going to a concert, causes the day to feel longer than normal; it is a lazy day. A boring day at work or school can also be described as a slow day. A slow day can also mean that nothing special happened during the day and it went by slowly. There was no exciting event to make the day seem faster paced. In business, a slow day means that no customers visited the store or office suite for any reason. Sometimes this happens because people don't have anything special to buy or sell. Sometimes they are just not in the mood to shop or trade. No matter why it happens, when a business has no sales it is called a slow day. Slow days can be hard to deal with because there's usually no way of knowing how long they will last. In fact, some people think that if there are no sales every day must be a slow day! The truth is that slow days can last from one hour to several days. They depend on many factors including but not limited to the type of business, the season, etc. The only thing you can do about slow days is try not to let them affect your self-esteem or cause you to lose hope.
