Monday. Do I really need to go even further? Now Monday night is great just for the fact that Monday is over.

Tuesday. Not too bad you start going on projects for the week and look forward to tomorrow.

Wednesday. Half-way done and you can’t stop thinking about the weekend.

Thursday. Just a stopping point and cannot WAIT till its over so you can move on to Friday.

Friday. It.Has.Arrived! You stroll into the office for the first time with a smile on your face. Pour your cup of coffee and talk about weekend plans with your co-workers and stroll to your desk eager to check email and surf the internet for the day.

So, why exactly is Friday labeled as the best day of all? I could make something up that back in 1800′s people would work 16 hour days and after 5 days of doing this straight they would literally pass out at work. Can you imagine millions of workers around the states passing out between 5-6 p.m. on Friday’s? They would be taken to hospitals and put on observation for 24 hours. Yet in 16 they were back to normal but needed time to relax. This was when the infamous “weekend” was born. There were cries of joy – people danced in the streets – there was peace in the world.

Okay, maybe it didn’t go down like that but it could have.

It’s always funny working with our sales staff because they have some type of ‘credo’ that states, “Work everyday like its Friday.” Which, personally I never got because well have you looked around the office on a Friday mid-morning? People are playing solitare – talking about whose playing this weekend – where to go for happy hour. I don’t really see any work being done. Of course I’m doing the same but I’ll never admit it publicly.

I’ll never understand the sales staff though.

Back to the point at hand – Friday’s are the high point in a 5 day work week and frankly I can’t get enough.
