FRIDAY AFTERNOONS SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

[Doclector]

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.

I'm at college and already feeling it. Most of the time there's something to do...but when there isn't, or a job simply isn't worth starting, that last hour can feel like a year.

suppose reaching one's dotage at age 30 would be quite disenchanting; perhaps a career change...

I like my career and all jobs are pretty much the same at Friday.

Just look on the bright side: Tomorrow is Saturday and after that comes Sunday.

But eh, the last stretch of time before the end of anything such as work or school always sucks. Not sure what else I can add to that.

Yes exactly. I could start this project that is going to take 5 hours and only get so far into it and have to pick it back up on Monday or find some piddlily crap to do.

i like thursdays the most, it puts my mind at ease that friday is just around the corner.

Friday afternoons usually only suck because every Friday afternoon without fail the fire alarm goes off every few minutes. I realise the house staff need to check the alarms work but do they really have to every single week. Mind you, that isn't as bad as when they did a test at four in the morning.

Sir, you are wrong.

Friday afternoon is a great time of the week. It is also the best day to drop acid, since it holds you till Sunday, giving you just enough time to sober up before Monday

OK, what do you do as a day job that makes Friday afternoons boring? Seriously dude, if you can't find something to do on the most looked forward to day of the week, you're doing something very wrong.

I am an accountant an you completely missed the point. Friday nights rule. It is Friday afternoons that suck because the day just won't end so I can go on to do want I want to. And in the end it doesn't matter what job you have, the last few hours before when ever your days off always suck.

The last few hours of work on Fridays have been, by my personal experiences, better than those at other times of the week. The mood is lighter because of the anticipation of the weekend, and many workplaces tend to relax the workload because of it. Also there's the off chance you could be allowed to leave early after some of the more work-heavy weeks.

Besides, you're an accountant, which means that you use a computer. And that means you have an outlet to the internet, the world's largest repository of data and entertainment in all of human history. You have no excuse for saying that you can't find something to do for a few hours.

What are you, like 20 or 21? Still in college or maybe just freshout of it? I'm asking to gage your experince level of working 9 to 5 5 days a week. Hawaiian Shirt Friday is a bandaid solution to make Friday at work a little more tolerable. Surfing the internet makes it a little more tolerable. But the fact is when you are looking forward to getting out and doing whatever it is you want or just getting home to crash and not worry about anything, those don't make up for it.

Have you ever been really looking forward to something, like as a kid you ever get to go to disneyland and were counting down the days and those last couple of days just kept dragging on before you finally got to go. Sure you could watch tv or play game or something, but those just paled in comparison to the myth that is Disneyland.

Point is, it doesn't matter how much you love your job, the last few hours before the weekend just keep dragging on.

Let me point out a couple of flaws in your argument here. First, by the age of 20 (that's my age just for your reference) most average teenagers have had several jobs for, many of which will have been 9 to 5, 5 days a week jobs. They (and I too) know the daily grind.

Which brings me to my next point. How much you love your job does affect how you see time passing. My best example is a camp counciling job I took for a few summers. I was on the job everyday, from the moment I got out of bed to the minute my head hit the pillow. I had to take care of a whole gaggle of the rowdiest and most chaotic kids you've ever seen, with my only sweet respite was when I went to sleep, and sometimes not even then. And yet, the entire month shift I was there per year flew by, because I loved that job so much. There was never a moment when I prayed for sleep, because there were always things I was doing that filled that time.

Also who just surfs the internet when they're bored? you can potentially read every book you've ever loved there, see whole tv series' in a row, and play enough games to drown the most avid gamer (aka me). I myself once started watching How I Met Your Mother, and suddenly my alarm went off, signaling that I had to head off to watch Iron Man 2, a movie I had been waiting to see for months. The time that had passed between the moment I started watching and the alarm? 5 hours. Over half of a day shift disappeared and I didn't even notice.

So yeah, if you really can't find something to do that you enjoy in order to kill time, you're honestly not trying.

Off Topic: Seriously, Hawaiian Shirt Friday? Who the heck does that anymore?

1) plenty of places still have casual or Hawaiian shirt Fridays.

2) let me know how you feel about this post in 10 years.
