As with every year, I'm rooting for "Voices In The Head Telling You To Do Bad Stuff" to go all the way, though Messiah Complex and Munchausen Syndrome seem pretty confident this year.

078 - If Days Were People

First off, we have to accept that Saturday and Sunday are your best buddies, but in different ways; one is an Optimist, the other is a Pessimist.

SATURDAY is all "Maaaaaaaan life is GOOD! What do you want to do today? Camping? Fishing? Shopping? Or heck, we could just binge-watch Walking Dead and never get out of our pajamas! The world is OURS! HIGH FIVE!"

SUNDAY is similar, loves just hanging out and doing the same stuff as Saturday for the most part, but she's always bringing up a bunch of downers. "All right, we can do one more episode of Charles In Charge, but then we HAVE to do a load of laundry okay? Monday is coming up fast!"

MONDAY has a terrible reputation and everybody seems to hate him, but you gotta admit that he GETS STUFF DONE. "Playtime's over, Bucko - we got a job to do! Brush your teeth! File that report! I don't care what Saturday and Sunday told you, get this sh*t done NOW, dammit!"

TUESDAY is your unremarkable co-worker that you at least know the name of but really very little else. Tuesday is just "Workin' For The Weekend". Your place of mutual employment doesn't *require* a button-down shirt and tie, but Tuesday wears one because he's been dressing for the job he wants for the past 11 years. Tuesday is stuck right there, on Tuesday forever.

WEDNESDAY is a lot like Tuesday, only you don't know their name. You pass each other in the halls, you attend a meeting or two together each week but you just can't remember that name. The extent of your communication with Wednesday is a casual nod or a courteous "Hey" as you pass in the hall. You know nothing about Wednesday, and will never be motivated to learn anything about it.

THURSDAY is the day I think deserves more hatred than Monday. MONDAY gets stuff done. THURSDAY, however, is nothing more than a POSER. "Hey everybody! Tomorrow's Friday! I'm right next to Friday! I'm practically a weekend day! The week is halfway over because of me!" No, Thursday, you're NOT a weekend day and you're NOT the reason the week is half done - WEDNESDAY did all that work but is too timid to speak up! You SICKEN ME, Thursday!

FRIDAY put in his two-weeks notice two weeks ago; Friday is OUT OF HERE. Sometimes he has a huge going away party, sometimes he just leaves quietly, sometimes he flips-off all of management as he clocks out for the last time, just like he did last week. Friday don't care. Friday is in love. Friday is about to go out and try to convince Saturday and Sunday to come with him, make this an EPIC WEEKEND LIKE NO OTHER!!!
