The energy is palpable.
Every one's gait is a little happier, tone a little
chirpier. Heck, even the ambience is gustier!
Friday fever is catching on.
The tapping of keyboards has more gusto, the greetings to
colleagues is more enthusiastic. It's like everyone knows that today is the freedom day. Freedom for
next 2 days!
No one says it explicitly but mostly everyone is looking forward to
finish the day and leave their golden cage to enjoy the earnings they make from
staying in it for 5 days of the week. The few exceptions are those who have only
focused on their careers so far and have nothing else to consume their time. It's
these people who then become the spoilers who bother their juniors to work on
weekends too.
Welcome to corporate inc!
No wonder the below quote from Ellen Goodman , is relatable
to many of us these days:
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work,
driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get
to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that
you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.
I for one, fervently dream of a time in future, when Ellen's
wise words would somehow get outdated. People will work for the fun of it, to create and to evolve. And not just to pay their bills and wait in anticipation for 'Friday Fever' to begin.
