That’s it. I’m firing today. Friday, you’re fired!
Everything I turned my attention to today turned out to be excruciatingly boring. The stuff I had to read, the stuff I had to write, dull, dull, dull. Even the internet let me down.
So, I’m firing Friday and skipping straight to Saturday morning. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to get my Saturday morning breakfast beer.
In the meantime, here’s some zombie puppets performing “Dust in the Wind.”
Dear Dave,
This is Friday. I’m sorry about today. I have a cold and the meds just knocked me for a loop. Plus, that damn Thursday listened to the McCain speech all night. Over and over! I swear he’d vote for a brick if it wore an elephant pin.
Wait. He did twice. See what I have to put up with? My wife, Tuesday, ran off with some restaurant manager. My car Wednesday just don’t go. The little twin, Monday Morning, feels so bad.
So, I know you have Friday on your mind. I usually take the pressure. God knows Saturday couldn’t handle the whole unlucky 13th BS. And I won’t bring up sanctimonious Sunday. He had the whole “day of rest.” Did he need football too?
I know, I know. You don’t need a whining Friday. But I’m just asking you to remember all those times I came through. How many times Friday THE day you looked forward to? And you know no one does a night like Friday night.
One more chance?
Yours weekly,
Friday.
Oh, what the hell, you’re absolutely right. And, frankly, you’ve been a cornerstone of this operation for a long time now. There are many times when I’m working with another day, but looking forward to working with you.
My apologies for flying off the handle like that. I’d like to have you back on the team. In fact, it may be time to talk about a raise.
Those zombie puppets are mesmerizing. What I’d really like to see is them covering some Burt Bacharach.
Dave,
Thanks! I’m looking forward to being back on the job next week. Forget the raise. You’d be amazed how little you spend when you only live one day a week.
But, could we have another talk about the “Start Your Week with Friday” calendar idea I had? I really think the time is now for a new calendar. It could be in the stores for Christmas.
Always waiting for you just hours away,
Friday
