    Monday is a mental/physical thing. Weekend you're on a diff schedule, then Monday gotta adjust back.

    Friday was almost unanimously favored, including for myself. Sure, NFL Sundays are great and so is waking up late, but for these students and myself as a teacher, we "take our work home with us," so Sunday turns into a stress kind of day, especially when you also have to go to bed earlier.
    Fridays after lunch are great. Sundays from dinner onwards sucks.

    lol, the Sunday night homework rush. I used to do it so often. Some teachers claim they can tell who did it the night before and who didn't, but seems like that never applied to me. I either had it or I didn't. Didn't matter if it's spending a few hours Saturday afternoon or Sunday night doing it.

        I was reading an article yesterday that said Tuesday is the worst day of the week based on a study(for people that work M-F anyway). So I googled it and there's actually a bunch of articles stating that. The reasons listed were things like at least Monday's you're well rested from the weekend and you're still shifting from weekend mode to weekday mode, the "weekend high hasn't yet worn off on Monday's." It said by Tuesday you're now well into the work week, the previous weekends memories are further away, and the following weekend isn't yet in sight.

        Anyone agree? I don't. Both days suck from a 'back to work, weekend is still far away' standpoint, but for me clocking in on a Tuesday is way easier than doing it on Monday. At least by Tuesday you have one day down.

          And some of the things that the community are complaining about are already fixed or in the process of being fixed for a day 0 patch. It's the reason why I wait and see what the release looks like before buying if I'm on the fence.

                    I have the old golden handcuffs at my job. I mean, I don't hate it really but it's just kind of long and boring. I could deal with a 32 hour work week..... with getting paid the same as I do working a 40 hour work week, of course.

                      I think I would agree. Friday nights are way better than Sunday nights even if you don't have work or homework to do. It's not as bad working or going to school on a Friday when you know it's the last day of the week too.

                        Unfortunately it's no that easy/simple. Would be nice to get paid to do something you love but things don't always work out that way. Easy for those who do have a job they love to say things like that(not directing any of this at you or anything), but majority of people who work aren't working at jobs that they love and look forward to work the next day.

                        Whoever invented 5 day work weeks? 4 day work weeks and 3 days off would be nice too. Lets say Saturday-Monday would be the 3 days off. Tuesday has that "first day of the week" feel, Wednesday is the halfway point of the week, Thursday you start looking forward to end of week, and Friday is Friday.

                          Tuesday has no feel?

                          Monday has a feel. Friday has a feel. Sunday has a feel...

                            I have the enjoy my work handcuffs. It doesn't pay as well, but I wouldn't trade it for a more precious metal. I'm not sure what salary it would take to get me into a job I disliked other than to say it would be prohibitively costly to any employer, lol.

                              If people had a choice, which would you take:

                              The 5 days a week,8 hours a day job
                              OR
                              A job that's 4 days a week, 10 hours a day
