Friday Strolled in Late.

…but no one cared. Friday’s got that kind of effect on people, generally. Friday can show up late, sometimes leave early, and maybe even harass the cute intern in accounting just a little bit, and everyone seems like they’re right there with the high-five. But, we’re on to you, Friday. We know your routine.

Friday, Thanks for Coming In. Have a seat?

But it could be worse, right?

Thursday Survives. Barely.

In baseball, the tie goes to the runner. In HR, the tie goes to the employee. Sadly, despite significant attempts to the contrary, we were not able to terminate Thursday. There was, however, a stern talking to, followed up by a thrashing it will not soon forget. It has promised to behave itself better in the future.

Sidewinder in Carpentry wrote, “In his effort to show up the rest of the week, Thursday shattered a bit, cut into a table, and then made the CNC mysteriously break before any real work could be accomplished.”

Skotte in Alternative Reality crafted, “thursday brought in missing passwords and broken network connections and a boss who apparently just noticed i have been in classes all morning for the past month.”

Chaoticfluffy declared, “On the other hand, Thursday is sucking in the actually-finishing-work department. Dragging its feet, even when it smiles prettily while doing it, is never going to lead to a promotion. Overall, I say Thursday’s just ok.”
