I love Fridays because...

- it's the start of the weekend!
- it's Take Out night, which means I don't have to cook. Yeah!
- it's Family Movie night. The whole family cuddles on the couch to watch a movie. Great fun.
- I can stay up late because I don't have to get up early on Saturdays.

Speaking of Take Out, DH just came home from work with PIZZA. Yum!

Why do you love Fridays?

Where I work fridays is a no meeting day, so seriously it feels like a day off. Kind of cool to feel that way while at work.

I love Fridays because

-Kathleen and Nathan have swimming after school and I love going and watching with the other moms.
-We either go out to eat, or get pizza.
-It is "Casual Friday" at Adam's work, so I don't have to iron his shirt in the morning.

Friday is just another day for me. DH works across the weekends so not a big thing. He has Tue-Thur off, so that is are weekend

hmm I love fridays when my hubby does not plan to work to make up time.
It means I get to look forward to a pancake breakfast
Saturdays is when I have my S-daughter cook breakfast and if she falls through her dad steps in.

I wish DH had "no meeting" days at work, then he wouldn't have to work so much at home. He has so many meetings at the office that he doesn't have time to do work. Argh. He's actually next to me on his PC doing work right now.

Trina, that is exactly why "No Meeting On Fridays" was created. The work is non stop, so to get actual work done, meetings can only occur between 10-4pm, M-Th. Otherwise good people burn out or quit.

DH loves this idea and was contemplating proposing it, however, after further thought, he decided it probably wouldn't fly because there is a shortage of conference rooms as it is. He said he tries to block off 2-3 hrs. a day as "unavailable" so that he can do work at work, but he still does a lot at home.

We have the same problem at MS. The conference rooms are booked solid. Smaller groups have meeting in the various lounge areas (groups 6-7 people). Less formal meetings also get held in the cafeteria. And often when people attend meetings they have their laptop (we have wireless over the entire campus) and they are barely paying attention to what is happening in the meeting because maybe 10% is of interest to them. Half the time when I post messages in this forum, I am in a meeting that I must attend, but most of what is discussed has nothing to do with projects I am working on.

That is pretty cool!
