Is it Monday or Friday?

Mondays are are the first days of a week of opportunities.
The only thing that is worse than working is NOT working.
I like looking at all the hung over people on Mondays and feeling glad I am not one of them.

“Monday I’ve got Friday on my mind…”

Blue Monday was by New Order.

@incendiary_dan Thank you. Foreigner did “Blue morning. blue day”.

Everybody’s Working For The Weekend by Loverboy

Paul McCartney’s song “Helter Skelter” best represents my work schedule.

Oh how I so envy workers who have set schedules where they can look forward to having certain set days off with such enthusiasm as you describe. My infinitely variable work schedules are handed to me just two weeks in advance and they are always changing with odd start and end shift times. This week I happen to work two week days with a shift 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and two week days (8 a.m. to 7p.m.) plus Saturday and Sunday 3p.m. to 7p.m. I also start some days at 7:30 a.m. for one hour and am expected to clock out at 8:30a.m. (meetings) and then clock back in at 10:30 a.m. and work until 7 p.m. TGIF means nothing to me no matter what day of the week it happens to be.

The one that covers them all: I don’t care if Monday’s blue/ Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too/ Thursday I don’t care about you/ It’s Friday, I’m in love

For every monday blues, I have the perfect cure

@Charles Is right about not working. For a stay-at-home worker, every single day is a work day and just like every other day. I have exactly the same amount of work to do Eight Days a Week

I never get holidays or weekends.

@gondwanalon: My last full-time job was similar. I mostly worked Tuesday to Sunday with Mondays off – 8AM to 6PM. Weekends meant nothing and when I started teaching Mondays (at another job), it was 7-days-a-week. Amazingly, even after working there over four years, friends would still ask, “So, what’re you doing this weekend?” |^(

I recently left that job and am enjoying having weekends again.

@cprevite You know what I’m talking about. Most people that I’ve talked to can’t really comprehend this perhaps because their world revolves around fairly regular routines. Good for you that you have a better schedule now.

I’ve been dealing with my weird and onerous work schedule for 17 years. I usually get a couple of weekends off a month so I shouldn’t complain about that. There are many lucky employees where I work have set schedules with weekends off and they frequently inquire about my weekend or declare TGIF. I can’t complain about that either. I’ve adapted OK to the schedule turmoil and pandemonium but have never felt comfortable with it. I always feel just a little off balance. What is most disturbing to me is that management lately has indicated that there is a good probability that I will be called on to fill in on a night shift as needed. I would dust off my interview suit it I wasn’t so old (61). The thought has occured to me that the powers that be are trying to make my life so miserable that I will resign or perhaps just drop dead. HA! Well at least I have a full time job and I’m being paid more that I’m worth. I should be very grateful. So I suppose that I’ll just have to get tougher, suck up the pain and survive.
