HUMP DAY BLUES

So it's Wednesday and the weather's about as perfect as it could get for mid-April. Everyone's walking around in a good mood and of course, the eye candy is off the hook. Yet with all of this in place, I still feel frumpy. Why? It's Wednesday, affectionately known as "Hump Day". The toughest day of the week.

You know the deal: You're halfway through the work week and the weekend is nowhere in sight. Work is bogging you down and the stress levels are rising. All you want to do is get through the day so that you can say it's Thursday, which means the weekend is almost here. It's harder to do that on a Wednesday than on a Thursday, thus the term "Hump Day"; getting over that "hump" or "hill" so that you can coast your way towards the weekend and the fun and relaxation that comes with it.

That being said, even though I feel frumpy and a tad bit grumpy (I haven't had my coffee yet), I still have to bring my "A" game today. Part of my job is to set the mood at the bar so that folks can forget their "Hump Day Blues", unwind and have a good time, whether it be through our weekly Pub Trivia event or the drink specials, or in tonight's case, by checking out some playoff hockey.

So, at the end of the day, the bottom line is that I have to get over my "Hump Day Blues" to make sure that you get over yours. Not always the easy task. But I guess that's why I get the big bucks. Cheers!
