For me it would definitely be Friday (not in a particular order):
Get the weekend feeling a day early on a Thursday.
Can do weekends away without using leave.
if you want a night out on a Friday you will feel more refreshed and with more time to get ready. I don’t bother going out on a Friday now, I’m just too knackered by the end of the week. just want the sofa and telly!
In my office every day is frantic in fact sometimes Fridays are the most frantic because you’re trying to get something boxed off that hasn’t been finished during the week. So there’s no chilled atmosphere on a Friday at my work, the Friday feeling really only kicks in at 3pm really.
I’d feel more out of the loop if I’ve I’d had a day off midweek with everything else carrying on as normal.
Some projects need a run of days. An interruption mid week is just annoying.
If you’re feeling under the weather and run down, knowing that you only have to make it through till Thursday then you’ve got a block of 3 days to rest if you need to is really good. One random day in the middle is neither here nor there if your day off is Wednesday, you’ve still got another 2 days to go till you can rest.
if you’re in work on a Friday and other people go for a weekend away then you end up having to cover for them. If you are off every Friday anyway then the work schedule should be built around you not being there on that day.
it would be an absolute no brainer for me. In fact I would ask my boss tomorrow if I could do that if it were possible as it sounds so brilliant. But as there’s only 2 of us in the office and it’s frantic enough as it is then it would be a no. They wouldn’t be able to get someone in for just one day.
