Library Blonde
...with all due respect to all Smart Blondes there (Janet & Ardyce , you too!)
Friday.
The most expected and hated day of the week. And it is all excitement in the morning when you try to clear all the tasks so by the end of the day you are FREE TO GO and truly enjoy the weekend. The anticipation is unbearable. Lunch time. And you go with a big smile. A smile that we all working people share on this peculiar day. Underlying meaning: “Thanks God It is Friday and we are half way through the day. Freedom is just a few hours away. I can see it. I can feel it”.
However, you come to the office, probably after a sumptuous type of lunch; and tragically, the afternoon seems to never end. And the minutes seem like hours. And the stupid digital clock in the left bottom side of your screen looks at you mischievously, playing with your emotions. “Don’t do that to me, man! Not today! Come on!” you want to scream. But you are not crazy enough to do so 9well, some of us are, to our surprise the clock doesnot talk back. If you are lucky, maybe, it just changes to the next minute. And this at least triggers a sad little smile or resignation, yet quiet happiness.
And sitting on the chair you can feel all the muscles of your body screaming for a break. It is more the brain asking for a break… that little voice telling you “Man, I think you deserve the day to finish right now… at 4.30”. That same evil little voice that during lunch told you to go for that extra sauce; or the fries; or the sundae with chocolate sauce as a treat. That same voice you curse while at the gym trying to lose all those extra indulging moments.
And “YOU’VE GOT MAIL”. Looking at the inbox you see a familiar friendly name. You open it and you see the recipients list is filled with some friends. THANKS GOD! it is not a work-related email. And you already feel anxious to read and see what it is all about. There’s an attachment… an attachment! You know it is gonna be good, and while you tuen the volume down, you double click on the file. It takes a little while, and you are already impatient. PLAY!
It is emails like this one that make it up for the few minutes left of the working day. Thanks Lars! Ya’ll have a good weekend!
