Friday must be the most universally loved day of the work week. Coffee tastes better on Friday. There is a certain sense of relief that even if you don't finish that project today, you'll get to take a couple of days off, and come back refreshed to tackle it next week. No one can be in a really bad mood, because after all, it's Friday. Co-workers greet one another with "it's Friday!", in a happy tone. You can always get fish and chips somewhere on Friday. Going out to dinner and a movie on a Friday night is the best, because it really extends the weekend. People go home early on Friday, so the afternoon rush hour is earlier and you are less likely to get snarled in traffic.

Also, there's the Friday Five. Sometimes, the questions are interesting. Today, they are about hair. This seems slightly boring, but really, everyone has a story about hair. I remember my seventh grade French teacher who had long, very very long, brown hair. She decided to dye it blonde. There were several mistakes made in the salon, and the result was that her hair all fell out, and turned several different shades of blue and pink. It was greatly amusing to our seventh-grade senses of humor. Now, I feel sorry for her.
