Hey there friendo, are you working today? As you can see, so are we! There's nothing unusual about this—Friday is, after all, part of a normal work week. But some abnormal bastards people have what are known as "Summer Fridays," which means they have the day off. Given the extreme heat, we're not too jealous, since the complimentary office A.C. is really coming in handy today. Nevertheless, if you do happen to be one of those individuals with Summer Friday privileges, please keep it to yourself. Making little tweets such as "First full #summerfriday of the season. Slept in, heading to get a mani pedi, brunch and then SoHo bound for some shopping. Perfect." don't make it any easier for us working class heroes with overgrown toenails and sleep deprivation.
To be clear, however, tweeting about working on a Summer Friday is completely acceptable. @AlexRihm, "holding down the fort at the office while wearing really unflattering pants," we salute you and your bad trousers! @i_am_michaelnyc, "100 degrees outside = Wearing a tank top to work at @MTV," we admire your devil-may-care sartorial boldness! @lizdikinson "i'm ready for my weekend to start! :( ...meetings, meetings, meetings #summerfriday #fail" you're gonna beat this thing! But @beautyfullbee? None of us want to hear that "It feels amazing waking up & I don't have to go to work!"
At any rate, with over 15% of Americans unemployed, we're just happy to be here. And working on Fridays builds character, especially if you have Internet access, because it reminds us what we're really working for: The freedom to read another NY Times article about $50,000-250,000 air conditioned CHILDREN'S PLAYHOUSES.
