To start the week off right, we have Monday. Mondays are like a crotchety old man with fart stuck sideways… go ahead and drag your ass all morning, but unless you love your job, there isn’t much that is going to make this day bring a smile to your face. Whether dealing with medical "emergencies" or phone outages, Monday mornings tend to suck. Even when you finally start coming around about noon, after four cups of coffee or three cans of Dr Pepper, the sugar high hits and bottoms you out like a Ford truck on a rutted two-track trail, leaving you {hangry} and {crazy}. 5:00 can’t come soon enough. Almost there!
Tuesdays, on the other hand, are kind of like your hippy-dippy great aunt; the day just kind of floats about and nobody gets too excited about too much of anything. Perhaps it is due to the hangover from Monday’s sugar-crash, or because the day is just another rung on the ladder; but they are a good day to slow down and ramp up for hump day. Unless is it a Monday on a Tuesday, because of a holiday or extended weekend… If Tuesday starts out your week, you can bet it is going to be a bigger bitch then the real Monday was.
Hump day, better known as Wednesday, can really go either way, depending on the kind of person you are. Two days down (yay!!) or two days left to go (oh, the horror!!). Not to mention all the terrible camel jokes; “Mike! Mike! Mike! What day is it? What day is it?? Guess what day it is…” (I know, it is a terrible commercial, and {so stupid}, but it is a little bit funny.) Best to be a glass half-full kind of person on Wednesday and to not let all the mid-week meetings get ya down. Only two more days in the work week to get through. You got this!
Seventy-two hours down, and the reward is Thursday. Thursday is the calm before the storm. Thursday is always somebody's Friday; so in a way, Thursday is Friday's annoying, but cute, little sister. Always a tease. There aren't too many things more annoying than waking up to a Thursday, thinking it's a Friday, and realizing you've been duped again. Why are there always so many people gone on a Thursday? Perhaps they were just so let down that it wasn't Friday, they just crawled back into their bed and are waiting for tomorrow.
Friday! You sexy beast! Where have you been all week? Taking your sweet ass time, that's for sure. Fridays are, without a doubt, the best day of the week to binge drink- two days to heal up before Monday rears her ugly head again. Fridays are meant to be casual, laid back, and easygoing… unless it is 4:45 and you have somewhere to be; if that’s the case, get comfy because your customers ain’t letting you leave anytime soon. The good news, though, is that you get to leave relatively close to five, and have the next two days off.
I have to admit that working 8-5, Monday through Friday, is pretty cush compared to so many other jobs in this world. It is easy to let the daily grind get to you and make you nuts; but ya just gotta be grateful for having a job and a roof over your head while you are there. We all daydream on those perfect 70* days about being outside, doing anything but sitting on our butts in front of a computer; but like a quote I read the other day says, “Do what you have to do, until you can do what you want to do”. {Thanks Oprah; I like you about as much as my horse likes a tick in his groin, but you have a point here.} I hope that your week goes well, and that you don’t wish life away waiting on the weekend.
Have a hip Tuesday! ~Richelle
