Fridays are odd days for me. I come in to work on Fridays and at the very start my brain is already focused on the end of the day and "Beer O'clock". It's hard for me to keep myself motivated. The only thing that keeps me going is that doing something makes the day go faster. I go around looking for someone who needs help. I find things that needs finishing. I clean up things just to kill time.
I avoid starting anything new on Friday, if possible. I avoid it because it could delay the end of the day. I also avoid afternoon meetings, if possible. I add "meetings" to my work calendar covering the entire end of the day. That way no one can schedule a real meeting for me after 2:00 on any Friday.
I used to think I was alone doing these things. But most of my coworkers say they have the same feelings on Fridays and even confessed to being unproductive on Fridays. I try to avoid being unproductive. I just try to not miss leaving on time, or better yet, leaving a bit early. That first weekend beer is always soooo good!
I wonder if everyone is the same elsewhere in the work world. I am sure there are some people who are just workaholics and gung-ho all the way into Friday evening. I've known a few. I have also known some folks who are worthless on Fridays, all day. I just wonder if the Friday afternoon bug is a universal thing everywhere. I feel like it probably is.
No matter what, I am ready for the weekend to start Yessir! Less than an hour and it will be Beer O'clock once again. TGIF!!!
