I was sat here, working from home trying to work out what I liked most about Fridays.

When I was in an office, it was that last email and then off to the pub.
Now I work away a lot, so it's that last flight home and the drive......when you reach your junction on the motorway!

None of these seem to give that 'ahhhhh' feeling when you was young and at school.

I'm tempted to get a 'school bell' on a timer so it rings twice at 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon....I can then obviously run to the pub screaming my tits off all the way.

What's yours?

Fridays mean nothing when you don't have set working hours, I had a glass of wine for breakfast, I'm up to date on all my work and reading and have just a 3d wireframe and a video presentation to have done for monday. So naturally I'll do that sunday night :lol:
No proper work til wednesday, then I've got a bathroom to fit and some tiling/ painting for a few days.

I've never been a 9-5er, don't really think I'd want to be, everywheres far to busy at weekends and theres rarely any good open mics/ bands on. Always DJ's.

Bit too far for me so I'll skip the poker.

Since retiring I don't get that lovely Friday feeling. But I don't get that awful Sunday night feeling either :-P

I'm looking forward to it as i rarely get to see all my mates who live 12-25 miles away and get caught up in thier own lives as well now, also managed to get £20 worth of beer and dips and nachos with £10 cashback from tesco which i was chuffed about.

Nothing like poker, cigars and whisky.
Got a game lined up when I go back home in my mates garage. Lost horribly last time and ended up finishing a bottle of glenfiddich and several ales, smoking a tonne of cigars and waking up a little worse for wear with ultimate ashtray mouth and the horrible realisation i'd spent half a months wages.
Can't wait for the next lot! :lol:

Have fun mate :thumbright:

Never thought I'd say it....but I don't feel like drinking tonight.

Been badgered into going out, but all I want is to just want to get a pizza and rot in front of the picture box.

Had a relaxign work day, listened to some top music and had a nice wind down! It's nice to not be waiting for a flight home!
