I know there are a lot of 18 to 20 year olds on this site and you are all full of piss and vinegar and ready to grab life by the balls and show it who is boss. But lemme tell you something. After you get a real job and have to do the daily grind, it wears you down. And Friday afternoons become a time sink. You look up and see it is 2:30 pm. Half an hour rolls by and you look up again and it is only 2:35 pm. This is what you have to look forward too. I'm sorry.
You think the weekend will be great until you remember you are in a shit job due to the economy and you are working the morning shift on sunday. Yay for one day weekends! I would say most work is a time sink no matter what day.

I vote that we remove the false concept of time from our lives! Who is with me? We shall replace it with a fun meter.
Ahem brother.

I wonder how full of vinegar you are to be typing something like this. Also if we look at my dad he does not seem to be thinking like you when it comes to friday afternoons...
Maybe they don't have the saying where you come fro, but to be full of piss and vinegar means to be full of life and vitality and not take crap from nobody. I'm at work, bored as hell entering in checks, so no I am not full of vinegar right now. Give me a few hours, and then I will be.
oh alrigth well that explains it, at least you seem to have a plan for friday night ^^. Well good luck with that and thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, it is weird using colloquial sayings on a site that has people where English might not be their first language.

I hate Fridays, they just remind me that outside of Work I have no social life to speak of.

It's exam season, and my Fridays are a pain.

CMON LAD! IT'S Friday, Friday...
Ninja'd, on similar a note I believe it is common to practice to "get down" on friday, my nights just been episodes of the boondocks and my little pony so far when I should be revising.

Ah well social commentary and ponies shall get me through life just fine...
Glad I'm not the only one procrastinating with a texbook on my lap. Fml.

We we we so excited...we so excited...

Hah, I woke up at 2pm. Sucks for you. I'm guessing you made this thread in an attempt to get back at youth's enthusiasm. You chose to live the way you do, you chose to work a shit job, I have no empathy for you.

That was my point. What is even worse is when you have to "scrape together" work to keep you busy on a friday afternoon.

At least you have a full time job! Oh how I dream! I have two Part-time jobs equaling to roughly 50hrs a week. Today I worked 10am-2pm at one job and now I'm at the other working from 3pm-11pm. At least I get to bring my laptop to my second job, so I usually just browse this site or watch something off Netflix.

It sucks, but you should still try and go out and have fun. I do. You will just be miserable otherwise. Go grab a beer with some friends, go to the movies, just sit and home and play games. Whatever floats your boat, but don't let your job ruin your time away from it.*cue cheesy music*

OT: Since I work all Seven days (normally) I think Saturday is the best day. Early shift :D

Edit: I love one of my jobs at a Graphic Design Firm. So awesome. Just finding a FT position in my field is hard now-a-days. So I took another job for the bills.

Cheer up, chuck!

This is why I start work at 6 AM then I'm done by 2. I've already been home a while now and have a few drinks in me. I say bring on friday. anyway, if you don't like your job, maybe you should look into another profession. I chose blue collar after getting a degree and hating the jobs that were laid out before me. Best decision i've ever made in my life was when I chose to become an electrician. but that's me, good luck dealing with your grind.

Or become a polymathic superhuman and constantly switch between interesting things.

There's always that.

I can't become something I can't pronounce. That is just lunacy.

I spent most of the day being feeling kind of sick and napping. So it wasn't bad really. Most Friday's for me are just very mellow.

What a fun song. I unplugged my headphones and made customers listen to it. Whether they appreciated it, I'm not sure, but I don't care, I'm my own boss here.

See? Fun is still to be had. Perhaps puns are your calling.

You've never heard it? This song rocked my pre-teenagehood! :p

I was recently reminded of it by this film about a bunch of English terrorists, which I highly recommend, by the way:

You mean a jack of all trades? I am that. But I just work in the one that pays the most...for now.

Every Friday someone at I know feels the urge to sing Rebecca Black's "Friday", quite torturous, and not just one person at once, no they sing in large groups. I think I win.

Its all about whether you can have fun at your work.

I used to work at a theatre, and sometimes our fastest days where the ones where we were busiest.
