The Problem with Thursdays
Be especially careful on Thursdays to not insult Tuesdays.
Productivity experts tell us that Thursday is the least productive day of the week. Also, they tell us that Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. Many Thursday people are not interested in reproduction. Thus, there are fewer Thursday people available to manage Thursday as it comes around in the week. There are many more Tuesday people than any other day of the week, due to the larger productivity on Tuesday. Therefore, occasionally The Committee has to hire Tuesday people to wear Thursday’s robes to manage the occasional Thursday, on which The Committee cannot find a Thursday to hire for the job.
Tuesdays, are just more organized and more gets done on Tuesday, than on any other day of the week. Wednesday is the hump day - the day we go over the hump and can look into the weekend. People are straining to see the weekend. On Fridays, too many people break out early, so little really gets done on Friday.
So few places really work on Saturday that Saturday is usually wasted. Sunday is, at least in the Western World, devoted to rest and celebration that minimal work get done.
Now Mondays, are usually chaotic, what with all the happenings and work left over from Saturday and Sunday. But last Monday, just felt more demanding than usual. It is my opinion that The Committee could not find a Monday person to manage that Monday. The Committee had to hire a Tuesday person, of whom there are plenty available, to wear Monday’s robes and manage last Monday. Usually the Tuesday people attempt to follow the rituals and rites of the day they are hired for. But last Monday, it felt like the Tuesday person in charge just forgot he was supposed to be a Monday, rather than a Tuesday.
