Bollocks it's Friday

swordofislam

I thought it was saturday and I didn't go to work. Had to come up with a lame excuse.

Has this ever happened to you literally woke up lad a lie on thinking thank God it's saturday was even thinking if I should make an excuse to get out of going to a friends B-day tonight (saturday night)
Wasn't till I walked down the town at lunch and bought the Times that I realised what was up.

Has this ever happened to you

No but I did have a dream last night that it was Monday and I though it was Sunday and didn't go to work - does that count?

Every Good Friday I wake up panicking thinking that I'm supposed to be at work though, can't get used to the fact that it's a day off over here

The King of Moo

I do recall once way back when in school waking up thinking "Yes, it's saturday!" After a few moments luxuriating in bed I thought "No wait, it's friday! Still, not too bad, and still saturday to look forward to." About a minute of relaxing more, then it hit me that it was monday morning, cold and wet and windy and i was lateish for school. I still remember how depressing that was.
Though now my internal clock seems to be well calibrated. Except over Christmas, I never know what day it is.

Sur nobody does any work on a Friday anyway - what's the difference?

petes

I've often woken and thought it was a Saturday but then realised it was Friday a couple of minutes later. I've never forgotten to go to work!!

Thread should be retitled HOT-BOLLOCKS its's FRIDAY!!!

Was off all week so I can relate to the bollocks it's Friday sentiment this week

CD.

never woken up and thought it was the wrong day, at least not while i was in school. over summer and such days lose meaning.

though last semester i had an exam, felt sick was thinking just get it over with and you have a few days off before the next one. got into the exam, got the paper thought WTF? got them mixed up and studied for the wrong exam. and seeing as i don't really go to class the study i do is pretty much all i know about a subject.

i ended up getting an E over all, after two years of doing that it's the first time i failed something, even then i can pass with compensation. still scared teh shite outta me.

What was your excuse?

Cormic

I have gone into work on Saturday and wondered why it was so quiet.

Whatever his excuse is, he's got Monday to look forward to, and if it really is a lame one, the boss will nail his balls to the notice-board as soon as he sees him.

Rented Mule

I went on a bender in the early 90s for about eight years. I don't think I ever forgot the day of the week.

Well done OP !! Well done !!

I'm lame, and with this disability afflicting me, I cant walk to the bus stop.

AskMyChocolate

I love these lazy Saturdays, not like that fake Saturday that nearly got me fired.

GavRedKing

Nope enver happened me, but did make the mistake of getting up one night at about 3am and though it was 8 (still half asleep mis-read the time on the phone) and got dressed for work until a then GF told me what time it was. Stooooooooooopid moment.

Corruptedmorals

Nope as in my last job I worked all weekends. I did however manage to come in at my regular weekday time of 5 wondering why the busses were messed up and it turned out to be a bank holiday and I should have been in at 11. Also I was excited one Saturday because there was a huge group going for the same 2 o'clock lunch and my hours had been changed from a 2 o clock start to 12 so I could go with them. Turned up AT 2, starving, and utterly convinced it was 12. Took people a few minutes to convince me- couldn't believe I got up and was on a bus at 1 o clock certain I would be in for 12...still at least I turned up both days.:D

alwaysadub

Nope but i did manage to go to school on a Saturday. And i was let out the door in my uniform and all and my parents didn't bother to tell me till i got home wondering why the school was closed!

El Horseboxo

I've never missed out on work when due to forgetting the day. But i have failed to notice months change until over a week in on a few occasions.

Alter-Ego

The only day is dole day!

I have woken up on a Saturday morning, thinking it was Friday and got ready for work but copped on before I left the house and hopped back into the scratcher.

Something about being sick. Was all good though rang round rearranged some meetings and the IT guy installed a piece of software that let me teleconference using own PC for one that I couldn't rearrange. I was very sly about the main rescheduling too rang everyone to make sure they'd read a steering note and most of them hadn't.

Jaysis. I saw the thread title and had to think for a second whether it's Friday or not.

It's not .. right?

Pj!

Can remember, back in the day, waking up for secondary school one morning. Little bit late and tired I got up and was putting on my uniform when I realised that not only did I not have school that day, but that it was the first day of the summer holidays.

That's a long time ago but I still remember the joy!
