Do you work on Friday? Pointless Poll returns!

Back when I went to community college in the downtown area, I was always surprised and somewhat dismayed at the number of parking places that were vacant on Friday. It was the same thing when I went into class. Skeleton crews, sometimes no more than half the class size manned every room. The roads outside were open and eerily quiet. I half-expected a tumbleweed to roll by certain days. Sometimes I'd even get angry at the lack of interest shown. Didn't these people care they were missing a lecture?! What kind of boss lets all his workers off on Friday? Could Thursday be next

??!?!

It is now Friday. Is it YOUR space I'm gonna be parking in?

I do not work Friday's - I made sure I negotiated that night off work before I started.

During our heavy season, Fridays are our killer days. Early start - late finish. But very good money.

Then it's beer and women 'till the early hours.

I work one Friday out of two, all the time. In fact I work one entire week and keep the next week off.

Seven nightshifts take a toll, it's true.

But seven days off makes everything right again.

I work every Friday full-time - my aim is to actually leave office on time on Fridays (i.e. 5:30 pm).

My wife however only works Monday - Thursday and gets some of the "household stuff" done on Fridays e.g., laundry, shopping (eh ... hey ... waaait a minute

), so that we don't have to bother too much with such things during the weekend.

Pretty much like Ser Clegane... Friday is the day where I try not to leave after 7pm.

I like to to go to Paris for the week end; leaving early (ie 6pm) on Friday helps a great deal getting there in time for the party

Louis,

There are new Frontroom members to gain pointless info from.

Rise...

Back in my old job, I worked Friday-Saturday-Sunday from 8 am to 8pm. The way I saw it, our shift violated every major monotheistic holy day. Muslims for Friday, Jews for Saturday, Christians for Sunday. No matter your faith, we were evil.

I have classes from 8.30 to 16.30...Gah!

**drone** · 03-24-2006, 23:31

Yes, always. I try to leave by 6pm, sometimes this happens, most of the time it doesn't. Lately, I've had to work some weekends as well, but this won't last for much longer.

I always make a point of not taking classes on Friday. I don't actually have a job though, If I did, I think I would still try to have Friday off. The 'work hard, play hard' theme gets me exhausted if I do it too often, so I take Friday off.

I don't work at a job, but I'll use school instead...

I almost never work in school (I still manage to get all B's but a few in all honors courses), but Friday I'm even worse. I'll rarely work at all in school then.
