Fridays in general are good days to take things a bit slower and with a more relaxed attitude. It’s only fair to get your mind and body primed and ready for the weekend.
In traffic, this is not often possible because Fridays can be full of last minute scrambling to make sure everyone has everything they need for the new broadcast week to come. If you’re lucky and you do have a calm Friday stretching out before you AND your boss happens to be off for the afternoon, there are plenty of things you can do to keep busy as the t-minus-5pm countdown begins. Say, has anyone seen Trish Shorter? Hmmm, I think she might be out at a meeting this afternoon!
For starters, you could pop over to the pub down the street and grab a burger and a pint for lunch. There really are no downfalls to this idea. You get a big juicy burger to fill you up for the long afternoon ahead, and a nice cold pint to wash it down with. The pub atmosphere, along with a lunch menu that doesn’t consist of water and a salad, will put you in a great mood for when you get back to the office.
Take the time to set up an alternate personality on Facebook, to supply your actual self with Farmville/Cityville/Castleville goodies. This new person can enjoy the hobbies you wish you did or have an appearance that you do not, so take this opportunity to be creative. Creativity is a proven job skill, so do not skimp!
Is there a Dairy Queen nearby? You have heard of The Blizzard, right? Why are you still sitting there reading this when there are 26 different flavours to choose from? Ice cream=calcium=bone strength, which means you can sit comfortably at your desk for hours without risking painful spontaneous fractures.
Red Hot Chili Peppers just added a Toronto show (Apr.27) to their North American tour but tickets don’t officially go on sale until Jan.27. You should find a way to get amazing pre-sale seats. If you get them and don’t want them, please email RHCP4.27.12@gmail.com. This is not a joke, research is vital…prove you have the chops!
Of course, you could get your desk more organized. Think of what a time saver this could be for down the road! Why, just this moment, I found a small box of raisins, half a bagel, some possible grapes and some blue cheese under my desk. This will be so helpful the next time I’m working late and don’t have time to run down to fetch dinner.
