Friday. So full of potential. ---

Thursday. The next day is Friday, which is usually a lighter day and then the weekend ahead. I’ve always loved Thursday nights especially. ---

**Bonus Question:** Which day is going to be _least favorite_? Make your guess as early as you have a feel for it. Surely by the time there have been 20 responses to the poll. I’m predicting MONDAY! 😃 ---

“Tuesday is that magical time of the week when everything actually gets done.” Dan O’Neill. Friday’s my favorite. Wednesdays and Thursdays are my least, about equally. Fatigue seems maximized, and the weekend seems light-years away. Mondays suck, to be sure, but at least you’ve got some R&R and rejuvenated the metabolism. ---

> [@Hari\_Seldon](#): > > I’m retired. What do those names mean? I heard that! 😃 ETA: I was tempted to go with Saturday, but that’s only during football season. Friday and Saturday suck for TV otherwise, so I went with Sunday. ---

I voted Wednesday, although I’m pretty fond of Saturday too. Wednesday is my regular sushi lunch, and my regular night out with friends. Saturday is, of course, Saturday. No work, and no work the next day. And I agree Monday will get the fewest votes. Poor Monday. ---

Wednesdays. Usually weekends for me are so busy that I need a day to prepare and a day to recover; sometimes a little more. Wednesday is often the day I can relax and just enjoy myself the best. ---

Judging by the poll results so far, the Bangles (“wish it was Sunday, that’s my fun day, I don’t have to run day”) are an outlier. ---

Saturday, for most of the obvious reasons, but I want to defend Monday a little bit from the pile-on. I can’t imagine Monday being anyone’s absolute favorite, but there’s no way it’s the worst. On Monday I have to go into work, but I’m nice and rested from a weekend of fun. By Wednesday or Thursday, I start weighing what crimes would be worth it to be able to sleep in till, like, 7. Mondays aren’t so bad in comparison. ---
