A letter to the editor (from a concerned reader) ......

Dear Sir,
I must take issue with your blog posting of 6/9. I feel that you have mischaracterized standard office banter by approximately 20-40%. The offending portion is reprinted below:

Monday...... I wish it was Friday.
Tuesday.... At least it isn't Monday and it is a day closer to Friday.
Wednesday..... Hump Day!
Thursday...... One more day till... you guessed it.... FRIDAY!
Friday...... Thank god they say, thank god it is Friday.

In my experience, the breakdown is more like this:

Monday: Monday… (exaggerated sigh)
Tuesday: At least it’s not Monday.
Wednesday: Hump Day!
Thursday: Tomorrow’s Friday!
Friday: TGIF!

Monday chit-chat, I find, tends to be primarily anti-Monday and not that pro-Friday, as Friday doesn’t really come into view until Hump Day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are, in and of themselves, empty vessels, commenting only on adjacent extremes. (You could graph it as a pyramid, with Wednesday at the top, and empty office chatter on either side of Wednesday rolling down in either respective direction to comment on its corresponding end.)
I will not comment on the terminology of Wednesdays.
