why is it (now this is about a town where i work, which i see everyday, which is small virginia compared to the dc/northern va towns, but i'm sure the same rule applies there as it does here) that on fridays, everyone appears to have come out from under their perspective rocks to be there, where you are and where you are going, all day and in every way? but only on fridays....
Coming from a small town I'm guessing that they're living paycheck to paycheck and eagerly awaiting payday, which is of course every Friday there. Come Friday they're sick of staying in and being broke so they live it up for a day or two....then the cycle begins again.
Now that I've moved to the "city" I'm still trapped in the same cycle there's just more money involved and 14 days between paychecks.

I've always wondered why some managers ask you "how's it going?" or "how are you doing" when in reality they're not asking about your wellbeing, they're just asking "how's your work coming along?"
