**Monday** Raring to go, problem-solving day **Tuesday** Yecch. Used to have to go to three-hour church youth devotionals. Headachey and boring day **Wednesday** Somewhat the texture of Monday, bit less energy. Often rains. **Thursday** Day of long meetings and tired feet. Thursdays, however, almost always have good evenings. **Friday** Energetic morning, dawdling, time-wasting afternoon **Saturday** Energetic morning, run around and buy stuff afternoon **Sunday** Like Tuesday: I was subjected to day-long church torture growing up, and I don’t get much pleasure out of the daylight time as a secular adult. Usually a good evening, though,(“Simpsons” and hearty dinner related) ---

Monday - Here we ago again… on the other hand, 24 is tonight! Tuesday - Worse than Monday because the novelty of the week has worn off - just boring, basically Wednesday - I like this day - don’t know why Thursday - TGIAF - Thank God It’s Almost Friday Friday - Weekend mode already beginning to initialize Saturday - Ah, yes. Sunday - This has been a really unproductive weekend. Again. Sigh. Here we go again. The week definitely starts in Monday when I plan things out in my mind. ---

Monday- end of my work week. Cranky and unmotivated. I come home, make dinner, and collapse. Tuesday- first day of bloody housework. Sometimes happy, sometimes not. Laundromat and grocery shopping and cleaning. Wednesday- baking and cleaning day. Everything is covered with flour and I’m having fun. Thursday- Sweep, vacuum, mop, dust, cook, and then go to work. Come home and feel unmotivated. Friday- usually my Day Off. I don’t do much productive stuff. Saturday- at work for most of it. A little cranky. Sunday- a little busier, especially if Mr. Lissar is working a 12 hour shift. Then everything is crazy. ---

wednesday – normally the first day of my work week. an easy day doing inventory, cleaning, etc. about 4 - 6 hours; unless there is a private party in my club (one or two a month) then it’s a ten - 12 hour day thursday – long shift, minimum 10 hours, usually 11 - 12 hours. on my feet and carrying weight for the bulk of it. friday – workout / training, then hockey game. usually out for beers with the team after. (outside of hockey season, it’s another night working the club, but mostly the slowest night of the week; typically 9 - 10 hours) saturday – 11 - 14 hours at work. much like thursdays, only longer & busier. sunday – sleep. lots of sleep. house cleaning, groceries, more sleeping. monday & tuesday – my weekend. workout / training, reading, writing, maybe some partying if any is to be had. occassionally a private party at my club one of these nights, which means another 8 - 10 hours of work. also, tuesdays i have either ball hockey, or beach volleyball game, or both, depending on the season & weather. ---

**Monday** morning feels so bad…everybody seems to nag me. Coming **Tuesday** I feel better…even my old man looks good. **Wednesday** just don’t go. **Thursday** goes too slow, I’ve got **Friday** on my mind. ---

Back when I had a Monday-Friday job: **Monday** Uggh. here we go again, another five days in a row of the same routine. Might as well get the first day over with, I’d tell myself as I’d just dive in head first and get off to a good start. For me Mondays weren’t quite so bad, actually. **Tuesday** This seemed to be my “Monday” (in other words, I often had a case of the “Tuesdays”, for those of you _Office Space_ fans champing at the bit). Problems that developed on Monday would often manifest themselves on Tuesday, making it my crappiest day of the week. **Wednesday** Oh good, we’re halfway through the week now and hopefullt Tuesday’s problems are taken care of. By this day my momentum is up and I can make it through the end of the week. **Thursday** So teasingly close to Friday, but not quite there yet. Thursday was also the day we had a weekly one-hour meeting that was so dreadfully, painfully boring. At least once I was past the meeting I could relax and look forward to the weekend. **Friday** The weekend is coming. If I have kept pace throughout the week I can slow down the pace and relax a little, take a long lunch and sail out the door and enjoy the next 48 hours. **Saturday** Take care of personal business early in the day and then enjoy the rest of the day, watch a movie or go out to a nice restaurant. **Sunday** Take it easy and savor the slow, relaxed pace of the day. Sleep a little late, but not too late, as there are things to do. By around 6:00 PM I realize that the weekend has once again gone by too fast and Monday will return once again. Now that I work Sunday through Thursday this screws everything up. Other than counting the days, each day seems like the one before. ---

**Monday** : Classes today. There will be an exam, like there is every week. Stress, followed by sleep once I get home, because I have to catch up. **Tuesday** : Tuesdays don’t have a feel. \*\* Wednesday\*\*: Lost is on tonight! Lostlostlost!!! **Thursday** : Not Friday yet? Damn. **Friday** : Woohoo! Friday! If I can get through the day, I have three whole days in a row coming up during which I don’t have to come to the lab and deal with bitchy techs who don’t like students. **Saturday** : Bleh. Working at 7am. Leaving home before sunrise. Sucks. **Sunday** : My only day off. Study all day because I have an exam tomorrow. ---

**Monday** Damnit I have to get up at 8:30 am, why did I sleep my whole weekend away? And I hate class. I should have studied or something… **Tuesday** Yay House is on. Last night of laziness before work on… **Wednesday** Class from 10-2pm, then work until 8. Usually a little Mythbusters then bowling. Long but usually good day. **Thursday** Ugh I used to like Thursdays. Then I got a new job. Have to get up earlier for class and work every week. Damnit. No more OC/CSI for me because I can’t program the VCR. **Friday** I don’t even like Friday anymore. I have to work. And go to class. Boo. Usually too tired to party, end up in dorm being bum by myself. **Saturday** Sleep it off all day or go into work at 4pm. Used to love Saturday too, but damn job. I miss having 4-9:30 pm to myself! If I don’t have work, usually lay in bed all day watching TV/movies. It’s cold out. **Sunday** I don’t do crap on Sundays. Except when I have to work 10:45-4 every other week. Boo. I work too much. And then I have to go to bed at a reasonable time to start all over again. ---

I work Thursdays to Mondays, so for me it looks like this: Thursday: Beginning of the week; energy, but also my busiest day, so I’m glad I get it out of the way early. A swim to look forward to at the end of the day, however. Friday: Almost as bad as Thursday, but the classes I teach are less refractory today. Saturday: Glory, halleujah, almost empty empty Saturday. Only two classes, and then a workout in the afternoon. Sunday: The pace picks up again - busy busy busy, normally frantic with undone work at this point. Monday: Hooray! All I have to do is make it through today, and then it’s my weekend! I do have all the difficult classes today, but it always amuses me that I’m going “Hooray! It’s Monday!” - possibly the only place where that particular expression is used. 😉 Tuesday/Wednesday - catching up with my life, walks, visiting people, photography, feeling alive again. ---

Monday: Rough edges, cold, metallic Tuesday: Soft and lumpy, vaguely nauseating. Wednesday: Warm and sunny. Thursday: Tangled, tortured, plastic. Friday: Windy, fresh. Saturday: Full bodied, radiating, muscular. Sunday: Ecstatic and nervous. ---

Monday: Dull, boring, unenthusiastic, blah, groggy. Tuesdays: On a more even keel, calmer, steady, more settled. Wednesdays: Ready, expecting anything, alert, absorbed. Thursdays: Good, bright, happy, cheerful, energetic. Friday: Agonizing over always working a midnight shift, frustrated. Saturday: Gleeful, relaxed, rested, lazy, comfortable. Sunday: Like Tuesdays–calm, steady, serene.
