TCLIF

And it is Friday again! I am quite sure it is similar in a lot of your offices, but in here, Friday has a special taste. And a special je ne sais quoi that really pisses me off. What is it? This bloody expression! Thank God It's Friday (aka TGIF)

- "Why is it annoying you Anne? Don't you think you are doing your ranting Frenchie never happy about anything crisis right now?"

- "Well, maybe, but what is the fuckin' point of getting happy about a day when you will have to come back to the job you don't like in two days?"

- "Yes Anne, it is quite true, but it makes people happy isn't it the more important?"

- "But what is the point with bloody God? What does God have to do with that?"

- "I don't know, it is just an expression"

- "Yeah, but if God was deciding upon our working days, we would be working 6 days a week, wouldn't we?"

- "What's your point?"

- "My point is that people thank an imaginary friend that has nothing to do with the fact that they work 5 days a week!"

- "Who should we thank then?"

- "That is a stupid question! The people who fought for our rights, who died under repression, the unions, the Popular Front!"

- "Isn't it a bit archaic?"

- "Archaic? When the EU wants to fix the limit at 65 working hours a week?"

- "Let's come back to TGIF. Do you want people to stop saying it?"

- "I would just like them to think about their luck of having Friday as their last day of the week. I think we should replace the expression. Let's say TCLIF"

- "What does that stand for?"

- "Thanks Comrades and Leon it's Friday!"
