You all know me, I’m an easy going guy. Nothing really rocks my boat.
But when the dreaded Friday approaches, I cringe.
Sure, I’m happy that it’s the end of the week. I would be stupid not to. Work seems a little more slack on a Friday…it’s like I am the leader of a zombie pack and I am a zombie myself.
But, the one thing that irks me, is the following conversation that happens with people.
Me: “Hey, how’s it going?”
(Random person): “It’s Friday!”
ARGH! I know it’s Friday! Everyone should know it’s Friday. Friday is not an emotion. I know these people are only trying to say “Hey, I’m doing pretty good. The week was hard but it’s the end and I’m looking forward to relaxing this weekend.”
But give me something with substance here people! It irks me when they use a day of the week to convey their emotions. You know it wouldn’t even be so bad if someone replied:
(Random Person): “I’m doing pretty good. It’s Friday!”
Hey, I can relate. I hear ya man. Good times are a-coming, especially when you have plans to see the Jeff Healey Band tonight with some friends. Can’t complain.
But when you just say “It’s Friday” it irks me. Especially when the same people do it. It’s like ‘their thing’ to say when Friday is coming up.
I’m going to try out the ‘It’s Tuesday’ for awhile and see how that treats people. What will people think? Will they think I’m happy because it’s new release day for most different forms of media (aka new CDs, new movies, etc.). What about if I said “It’s Wednesday!” Does that mean that I’ve made it to hump day and I’m good to roll down the other side of the hill. Maybe if I still collectec comic books this would show that I’m glad it’s Wednesday because there are some new comics on the rack.
Oddly enough, I don’t have this feeling when it’s Monday. I think there are a few people who say ‘It’s Monday’ and I just don’t bother to care either way. Maybe it’s because I’ve led my pack of Zombies from work on a Friday but still am a Zombie when I return to work on the Monday.
Happy Friday People.

For ther record I was going to for a more dramatic effect by using the number of the day in the year but since we are in January and this is the first month, the number of the day in the year matches the day of the month.

lol, and I was thinking it was the 0 month.
You guys are freaks.
I am not the one with the pet peeve or ppl saying “It’s Friday!”

You sound like the guy in office space after the secretary says “Looks like somebody’s got a case of the mundays….”

oh and damn you all you silly servants with your silly weekends off!!! *shakes fists*
Sammy…are you saying you’re working this weekend?!
I have forgotten the definition of weekend…
I think school should be like shift work because it gives kids unrealistic expectations of what’s to come.
I haven’t done any research into this but I think the majority of jobs are not Monday to Friday
