During good old college days,all the days of the week were like candles burning at the altar of thechurch i.e they were all alike.There were no constraints of completing 8 (billable) hours in college.Any one can bunk any time and treat all the days as weekends.
When one gets out of this comfort zone,one really appreciates the importance of weekends.Friday is always different from other days of the weeks.The whole office looks colorful,
boys look like college brags,girls camouflage to "chicks".But the worst part is that all this becomes banal with time.When one leaves office on Friday,your colleagues wish you"Have a wonderful weekend ahead!".You wish them back the same with a half-suppressed grin.Then comes Monday!
People in official attires look like puppets in a showcase.Females though hail from a different planet.They can flaunt their levis jeans even on a Monday morning but their poor male counterparts have to dress like a scapegoat with a noose,which in professional parlance is called a tie.When you reach your cubicle,your colleagues ask you "So,how was your weekend?".I must say this is the most banal of all the platitudes that I've ever heard and will ever hear!Man..I've been giving the same answer to the same question for the last 18 months that I've worked.Sometimes when I don't have any genuine answers,I try to fake it.Some of the common answers are.."was hanging around with my gf.(..though i've none..)".
Fed up of the same phenomenon from the last 1.5 years,I get out of the office early on Friday and come late to office on Monday(thanks to flexi hrs scheme).After all there are better things to do in life than wishing such "unimaginative" wishes! :D
