Minimally Exceptional

tuesday is the worst day of the week. there’s no other way to look at it.

the weekends are good.
mondays aren’t great, but they’re not as bad as most people thing – you’re coming off two days off, and so it’s not so bad. you spend part of the day catching up with people, getting things together for the week, checking your email and listening to voicemails.

wednesdays are okay. they’re the hump. you still have a long way to go to the next day off, but you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

thursdays are good. on thursday, you can see friday, and where there’s friday, there’s a weekend.

fridays are great. on friday you know you’re good for two more days. for most people friday is a slow day, an easy day, tying up loose ends from the week and beginning to plan for the next week. most work places recognize casual friday, so that’s usually a plus too.

but tuesday? tuesday’s nothing. tuesday is the second day of the work week. you last day off was two days ago, and the end of the week seems so far away. tuesday is guaranteed to be the longest day of the week, regardless of how many hours you work.

today is, in fact, tuesday.
