tell me why Fridays are cool for you

[tigereye]

for me, it's because I don't work on Friday (usually) just laze around here all afternoon!

[meganmonkey]

1. Same here - usually I have most of my work done by now

so I just read DU

Plus all the salaried people have some excuse to bail out early on Friday, so I file my nails like a good officemonkey, guilt-free :)

2. We get donuts at work

And I get two days off.

[tigereye]

4. doughnuts, eh

I'm a bagel girl, meself. :hi:

[johnnie]

9. We get those too

It depends who picks ip the goods. I like the bagels more. :hi:

[terrya]

3. Just the expectation of the weekend.

Knowing that the work week is just about over. :-)

[tigereye]

6. yeah, that makes sense

I have a bizarre work schedule... part time, but that means I work Sundays sometimes.... so I don't have the regular workweek, like I used to. But when I did, I tended to spend a lot of Friday chatting and having long lunches.... I really don't think people want to do much work on Friday, unless you have a deadline or somethin.

[Initech]

5. Where I work - we get every other Friday off!

The bad part is that we have to work 9 hour week days in return.

Unfortunately since I was on vacation last Friday I'm here today.

But eh, I'm sitting around with practically nothing to do anyways.

[tigereye]

8. I used to work 4 10 hour days at one job I had

in the summer, and take Friday off, that was very cool. That was before I had a little one. Can't do 10 hour days anymore...

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. because I have a production meeting

where I am managing three course development efforts and I REALLY like the guys working on the projects, so it's a treat to hammer out their work with them.

Plus, I don't have to work tomorrow.

[tigereye]

16. it helps if you like the people you are working with

I usually do. But then, I pretty much like everyone. (i'm one of those.) ;)

10. This particular Friday sucks enormous donkey dick.

For reasons better left unsaid!

:hi: tigereye!

[tigereye]

17. hey

hope things improve. That can't be good. (I am trying not to visualize that, but bureaucratically, I understand.)

:hi:

[SarahB]

11. This Friday is cool.

I don't have to work.
I don't have class.
Important possible news today. (Knock wood.)
I have a nice date night to look forward to later.

:woohoo:

[tigereye]

18. dates are good

glad you are having fun. And hope that you hear good news.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. I'm unemployed and can't afford to go out.

Fridays suck.

[Lethe]

15. lol yeah, weekends are meaningless when you are unemployed

like us

[tigereye]

20. well

I enjoy them since the kid is off school and I can sleep in. I do work on Sunday fairly often, so it isn't a weekend to me in quite the same sense either.

Hope you are able to find something....

[tigereye]

19. any nibbles? (this was for al)

I am lighting a candle to the goddess for you, or the equivalent.

:hug:

[RebelOne]

13. Because I have the weekend to look forward to.

Especially this weekend, since Monday is Columbus Day.

[tigereye]

21. right a long weekend

My son also has Thursday off for Yom Kippur. So that means I have the day off too.

[jane_pippin]

14. Because I work a half hour less than I do the rest of the week

which means I get to add 30 more minutes to my weekends and to the total hours away from this hellhole.

Think of that Simpsons episode where one of them says they like Sundays right after church because it marks the most time possible between leaving there going there again. It's kind of like that.

Also Bill Maher is on tonight and there's a good show I'm going to later AND I get to sleep in for once on Saturday. Huzzah.

[tigereye]

22. sleeping in is good

before I started my own business, I had a job where the dread began on Sun afternoon. So, I have less money, but no dread, to speak of. What do you do, if you want to say?
