Friday Thankfulness, Why?

It's customary for workers in many parts of the world to heave a sigh of relief or make other general expressions of good cheer regarding Friday, which is often the last working day in a week. TGIF, they say, thank God it's Friday.

It amuses me because many of the people I've heard saying this don't seem to believe in God, or in Freya, the goddess after whom Friday is named. But the sentiment is clearly akin to saying how happy one is that the weekend is about to come round.

Well, I'm not always so happy sometimes that the weekend is about to come round. It takes away the one advantage I have over many other people: I'm freer on weekdays! Heh.
