The 12 emotions of a Friday afternoon
Smugness
It’s lunchtime. There’s only a few hours to go until the weekend, and wild horses couldn’t stop you from treating yourself to a fancy sandwich and some notions crisps.
Emptiness
You’ve spent €7 on a sandwich. You ate it too quickly. Now it’s gone, and you feel a bit too full but somehow so empty.
Disbelief
You have a meeting post-lunch. How is time going so slowly? Has it stood still? Is it going backwards.
Your boss is talking and all you want to do is:
More disbelief
You return from the meeting and someone has sent you a lengthy and demanding work-related email.
Intrigue
All that can wait though. You’ve earned yourself a little break. Time to see who’s on the chat shows tonight.
Anticipation
Or maybe you’re going to tape the Late Late and head out after all.
Dread
It’s not even five o’clock and already you’ve had a tiny but terrifying flashforward to Sunday evening.
Impatience
CanIGoYet? CanIGoYet? CanIGoYet?
Realisation
Oh CHRIST, you still haven’t dealt with that lengthy and demanding work-related email.
Panic
WHY IS TIME MOVING SO QUICKLY? You’re never going to get this done in time. Why did you spend so long Googling “who’s on Graham Norton tonight?”?
Elation
You’ve done it. It’s home time. Take the shackles off your feet so you can dance.
FREEEEEEDOM!
