That Friday Feeling

Driving to work I can't believe its true its no wonder I'm no longer feeling so blue the dark cloud over my head finally disappears knowing that the weekend is so very near The smiles I see are quite genuine casual Friday, everyone chewing gum coworkers all having a certain warm glow no work for the next two days we all know Counting down the hours, minutes and seconds till I can clock out which will be a blessing even though I'm work weary I feel elated looking forward to some rest and relaxation Standing before the facial recognition clock the work day crept by like a slow tick tock finally its time to show my face and clock out with the clock not recognizing me I pout Third time is a charm they always say as the clock finally recognizes me without anymore delay walking fast to my car I slide behind the wheel driving home ready for a leisurely meal. 3-3-18

Oh I used to love the Friday feeling, then after 40 years retired so everyday is a Friday feeling. I used to say can't wait to retire and people would say ,you're wishing your life away. Work used to be a drag at times but I do miss the people.

Friday equals finally feeling free to me lol! Cannot wait to be able to retire too; must be nice although you miss your coworkers at times…I think I'll use psychology on myself and imagine that everyday is Friday lol! Thanks for stop by and have a great day!~Che :)
