We have a little tradition in the office where I work now. \u00a0We call the last working day of the week – Friday. \u00a0It doesn’t really matter which day of the week it is really. If there are some public holidays ahead, then, even Wednesday can be a perfect Friday. \u00a0Sometimes we refer to such Friday as an Early Friday.<\/p>\n
A good example of this is today. \u00a0Even though the calendar on every electronic device around me says “Thursday”, my colleagues are walking around with smiles on their faces. \u00a0“It’s Friday finally”, they say. \u00a0That is because tomorrow the Republic of Cyprus joins Greek in celebrations of the Ohi Day<\/a>. \u00a0It is a public holiday which usually also features a military parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n Interestingly, we don’t have a similar tradition for Late Monday. \u00a0Even though it would be logical to call the first working day of the week Monday, we don’t. \u00a0I think that is because Mondays are special. \u00a0They are tough and ugly and nobody likes them. \u00a0Calling another day of the week Monday is an insult. \u00a0Whereas calling another day of the week a Friday is a compliment.<\/p>\n With that, happy Early Friday to all of you guys!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n We have a little tradition in the office where I work now. \u00a0We call the last working day of the week – Friday. \u00a0It doesn’t really matter which day of the week it is really.
