The last of a four-day week draws to a close. The rain arrived during the afternoon with several small showers into the evening. This did add to the humidity but the temperature is forecast to drop overnight and tomorrow to be a cooler and drier day for a change. Temperatures will begin to rise again by Monday, but in the meantime, I might be able to coax some cooler air into the house to bring the heat down inside, too. Work involved reading, writing and preparing for a discussion on writing a paper that will occur during the weekend. It is fun to get into something like that instead of sorting and pitching so much. <smile>
Friday is thought of as a day to party or celebrate the end of a work week -- for those working Monday to Friday jobs, at least. I've worked all types of shift work with various days off during the week. It just isn't the same when those days are Tuesday and Wednesday <grin>. The common concept that work is something unpleasant seems prevalent. That makes me somewhat sad -- that people work at something they dislike for most of their time. No job is perfect. I've had many and some were more perfect than others, but all had downsides. That didn't make me hate them all, but when I had Saturday and Sunday off it made the world more normal somehow. Interesting that we put so much on two days, though Friday night and Saturday are more relaxation days in colloquial parlance than Sunday -- the day to prepare for work on Monday. There must be a way to capture that joy and feeling of freedom during the week -- well, perhaps there should be.
The song shared celebrates Friday. The lyrics and tempo exude fun, as does the video shot in St. John's, NL <smile>. The arrangement combines country and Celtic genres well. Enjoy!
It's Friday -- Dean Brody ft. Great Big Sea
