TGIF no more!

"Thank GOD its Friday!" - no more. Nope not for me. I'm done with it. Its overrated. Why look forward all week for one day?

Don't stop reading please allow me to explain.

If we take that same energy on the Friday morning and applied it to a Tuesday afternoon do you think the office morale would be better or worse?

I feel it would be better and again please don't stop reading. Let me explain.

Okay here is the scenario: you stroll into the office on Friday morning with one though in your mind, "Its FRIDAY!". That at the end of the day you get two luxury days off to relax or work around the house or whatever it may be. During that Friday morning you are still able to get through the routine and get work done even though its the end of the week. Why? Why are we able to get the same amount of work done on a Friday then on a Monday yet have a better attitude towards it because you'll be off for the weekend?

I have come to conclusion that it is not the matter of getting the weekend away from the cubicle it is the fact of looking forward to something. During the week we all look forward to Friday, "oh Friday can't come soon enough." Admit it, you know you say it or think it throughout the week.

If we can come up with tiny plans throughout the evenings of our work week and make them into adventures then maybe, just maybe, we can have that 'glow' we usually do on Friday.

Okay, quit laughing. I'm serious. Some of the things I've tried is making a movie night outing where I'll rent two movies, get some popcorn, and turn off all the lights. Make it feel like a movie theatre. Yes, I KNOW its not but the point is I'm not trying to spend a lot of money. The way to get that "Friday Feeling" as I like to call it is to during the movie night day look around online for movies that just came on DVD to rent for that night and read the reviews. Get excited about it - or at least try.

Its the little things like this that will allow us to have some type of happiness during the week away from work.

What do you readers suggest - what do you do?
