Sit down, let&#8217;s have a talk.  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Basically, Friday, I want to talk to you about this ongoing issue we have with you acting like Monday Part 5.  This simply won&#8217;t do.  This needs to be addressed immediately and a solution needs to be found.<\/p>\n<p>First off: you are not Monday part 5.  You&#8217;re not even really related to Monday.  You guys aren&#8217;t even next to each other&#8217;s cubicles.  In the average week, you should have absolutely nothing to do with Monday.  You certainly have no business acquiring Monday&#8217;s bad habits.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Friday, you spend your whole day making me look like I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m doing &#8211; at work, at home, even putting gas in the car.  I&#8217;m not exactly on top of my game today, since I&#8217;m still shaking off some nearly-psychedelic anesthetic from my visit to the dentist on Thursday, but why do you have to go acting like Monday, today of all days?<\/p>\n<p>Thing is: I don&#8217;t brag on myself too much, but at work and at home, I&#8217;m a freakin&#8217; <em>rock star<\/em> at this stuff that I do, if I may say so myself.  When I <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> hit <em>that<\/em> level for even one day, people notice.  You&#8217;ve spend all day, Friday, making it suddenly look like I&#8217;m some kind of world-class doofus.  <em>Thanks a lot.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If we can&#8217;t reach some sort of agreement by which this behavior will be discontinued at once, Friday, I&#8217;m going to have no choice but to replace you.  I&#8217;m sure everyone here can nominate a replacement day they&#8217;d rather see filling this slot.  The impact on the economy of having to reprint brand new calendars for <em>everybody<\/em> is going to be considerable.  I ask you to think carefully about your reply.  A lot is riding on your answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Friday, I&#8217;m glad you came.
