My Brilliant Idea
This idea is meant for those of us who work "9 to 5," or some equivalent thereof.
If you work weird hours,then My Brilliant Idea cannot help you. If you work part-time, then go away. And if you don't have to work at all, I hate you.
It occurred to me yesterday that most working folks aren't fond of Sundays. Simple reason: Sunday is ALWAYS followed by Monday. I can't remember a time, even during an epidemic of plague or locusts when Sundays weren't polluted by the inevitablity of a fast approaching Monday.
Frankly, I don't think Sundays should be hated simply because they have to be associated with that weekly bully Monday.
So here's My Brilliant Idea: Instead of weekends being composed of Saturday and Sunday, they should consist of Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday. That way you only have to hate ONE Sunday. And we can just get rid of Tuesday because it doesn't count anyway.
I know. You're thinking "Whoa there Bdown! That's a little radical!" But I'm just thinking outside of the box here, as people in corporate America don't say anymore. If you've got a better suggestion, then my 1-800 line is open.
But keep THIS in mind. Remember that classic 80's song "Manic Monday," by that girl group What's Their Name whose members are probably hanging out with Vanilla Ice right now?
They sang "I wish it were Sunday...my I don't have to run day..." And you want to know why? (Industry Secret)... The songwriter couldn't think of anything to rhyme with SATURDAY. Duh. So he MISSED the whole point!
In reality,those gals hated Sunday. But if you had TWO Sundays to gang up on ONE Monday, wouldn't life be more beautiful?
I might just run for President now, to spread the message of My Brilliant Idea across our great country.

Time for your meds.
Where's Bob Geldof when we need him?
Some poeple just don't understand brilliance.
And anunomess,
If you're out there somewhere, before you haul out that encyclopedia of random music facts...
Group: The Bangles
Songwriter: Prince
Am I right???? Do I win anything if I am???
Anunomess,
All good points. I'll take them up with my Advisors.
But clearly a change is needed, and Tuesday's HAVE been neglected-they're just the ho-hum day of the work week, and perhaps deserve some status.
I think there may just be a spot for you in my administration Anunomess. (nooprah doesn't have any good meds, so he's not invited)
Bob Geldof's band was the Boomtown Rats. Their big hit single was "I Don't Like Mondays."

Motheragawd,
Oh Ye of Little Faith (am I allowed to say that to the Holy Holy Mother?)...
It'll all be cleared up when I'm in charge. But for now, until my campaign is in full swing, just go about your "daily" business.
What about those weeks where Monday is a holiday and Tuesday becomes Monday by default? I think your plan might have a fatal flaw, Bemis.
Can I have a posting in the new Administration, by the way? I wasn't born in the U.S. but I can make smoke come out of the ears of Republicans in three easy steps...that's gotta be worth something.
Oh and I bake very good chocolate chip cookies.
Cake,
There's no flaw my crack administrative team woudn't be able to work through. Wednesdays would just have to take a little heat every once and a while.
Would you like to be Secretary of State? I can't imagine an international crisis that couldn't be smoothed over with, say, some brownies. And you'd be just the gal for the job!
