TGIF? Who thought it was OK to make an acronym out of anticipation of the end of a work week? I try to hold off on the cynicism, but I swear, if I hear that expression one more time, I'm going TGIF some but...maybe.
Lets talk about Fridays at the workplace. Other than the dreaded expression, what happened to people wearing jeans on Fridays? And why Friday? Why not Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Isn't it a little ridiculous to celebrate the last day of the work week? I mean, come on! Aren't we just happy that we have a job and we can support ourselves or our family's? Everyday should be a celebration.
Its pretty sad that people hate their jobs so much that all they can do is say TGIF, and count down the clock until its time to leave, where they promptly run out the door, jump in that car, and race home. And what are people racing home for anyway? To sit on the couch and watch TV? To play with their model airplane collections?
If you have any ideas on how to make our Fridays more jovial and exciting please comment!
Probably the best way to make work more enjoyable is to avoid the obnoxious intern who says things like "everyday should be a celebration."
ReplyDeleteThat, and listening to Lionel Richie as frequently as possible.
