It's The Freakin Weekend!!!!!!

R. Kelly perfectly encapsulated it for me when he said, "It's the freakin weekend, baby I'm about to have me some fun"! YAY, YAY, YAY, tis FRIDAY! Okay, so I do get a tad too excited every Friday, but that's because as far as I'm concerned, the working week is just a darn pitiful waste of my precious time. What, with having to sit behind a desk from 8-4:30pm I'm barely managing to hold onto my sanity! I'll admit, it aint all bad, but since generalisations are just a whole lot funner (suspect English word courtesy of Spiwe), I'll stick to saying I'm a hop and skip (forget the jump) away from the men in white coats.

Just to give you some background info, my "official" job title is Assistant Brand Manager. (I tend to drop the assistant bit in emails - tends to get me more respect......) Anyway, Assistant Brand Manager - won't tell you what brand, or what company lest that comes back to bite me in the ass, but point is, I'm a marketer - a connoisseur of half-truths, twisted facts and false promises:) Truth be told, I marvel at the ingenuity of my industry! Marketing is an art, albeit a slightly dishonest one, it is still an art. But forget work, this post was supposed to be about Friday! (Yes, I have been told I have the attention span of a gnat.....)

So, it's Friday, and here are my top 5 reasons to smirk!

1. The working day is a whole 30min shorter! It may not sound like much, but those 30min make all the difference between the necessary 4 o'clock ingestion of copious quantities of Snickers, TV bars, smarties and jelly beans, and leaving the office sans sugar-induced shakes.
2. People in the office tend to be extraordinarily lazy on a Friday. This off course has many advantages - no scheduled meetings, 2 hour lunches, endless hours spent in the pause area, altogether too many personal calls, as well as arriving at the office a full hour late, all the while dubiously muttering about the horrendous traffic.
3. There's fish and chips on the menu - nuf said!
4. Friday morning precedes Friday evening - the official night of all things debaucherous - nuf said!
5. Tomorrow is Saturday - this means, no 6 o'clock wake up calls, no ingestion of dubious quantities of coffee before 10am, and most importanatly, no desk, no computer, no office, no aircon, no work collegues, no mindless office chatter, no lick-arses, ok, I could go on here.

So, here's to a FABULOUS weekend!
