Work-time blues.

It has been suggested that for many people, the weekend starts on Thursday afternoon - that's when they tend to switch off from work and start thinking about what they are going to do on Saturday and Sunday. When I worked, I used to see the working week as a mountain - on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning it was all uphill, Wednesday lunchtime was the summit, and for the rest of the week I was progressively on the way down the other side. Sad, really, isn't it? If you enjoy your job, I don't suppose you think in that way at all, but to quote Thoreau: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation"
