New Work Week Proposal

I had an idea at work today. Ideas for me are rare, so I must type it out while it is fresh on my mind.

No one likes working on Monday, because it's the first day after the weekend. Monday's are just kind of ick (like, "awe, sounds like some body's got a case of the Mondays.")

No one works on Friday. I mean, they show up and stuff but nothing ever really gets done because it is Friday. It's officially the weekend.

The problem is, if we eliminated Monday then Tuesday would be the new Monday and Thursday would be the new Friday. Therefore, Tuesday would be the dreadful day of the week. Thursday, no one would do anything because it would officially be the weekend, such as Friday is now.

The Plan- Shorten the work week to Wednesday and Wednesday only. The day would be very full and productive. You would only have one working day in which to get 5 days worth of work in. It would go by super fast.

This wouldn't work for all jobs, unless you did it in shifts. For example: an employee at Taco Bell might have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off- work Thursday- and be off Friday and Saturday. It might take twice as many employee's to staff certain types of jobs, but that would lower the unemployment rate, right?

Anyway, it's just a proposal.

So, we're talking all day on Wednesday? What if I only want to work part time? Could I just work half a day on Wednesday?

LMAO. And people wonder why I titled my blog, Angry Julie Monday. Friday is my Monday, and Monday is my Friday. Is that confusing for you!
