The week

Is it just me, or does the week get slower and slower as it rolls ever onward? Monday, to me, goes by so fast it’s like I’m being shot from paint ball guns. And the fact that getting done with work feels like hitting a wall at the same speed doesn’t really help matters.
Tuesday is more like the feeling you get when you have put your whole poker chip set in the pot. You know you have everything on the line so you are just hoping that the right cards fall and that you get a little bit of luck to come your way. Once again, it goes very fast, but it takes a little more time than Monday because you know you have gone past the wall.
Wednesday is the day when the week really begins to slow down. You know that you are halfway through the week by lunch time, and after that, it’s like a Mustang exhaust system revving. You know it just wants to launch itself off that line, but it’s still spinning the tires in anticipation.
Thursday is a long day, but not the longest. If I had to equate it to anything, it would be like the feeling you get when wearing a new Shoei motorcycle helmet. Sure it fits, but it gives you a sensation of tunnel vision for the weekend. You can see it just ahead of you and all of your vision is pointing right toward it; kind of like having blinders on.
And by the time Friday rolls around, the days have slowed to a crawl. The fact that very little actually gets done on this day is just like the RC drift cars that you see sometimes. Sure, they make a lot of noise and look cool, but you know that in reality, they are just not going to do anything all that quickly. And Friday is the same way. It just sits there, being all cool, but it is one of the slowest days of the week.
And then the weekend comes and it goes by like a race car: A full-on BMW performance race car with a man behind the wheel who just had a mix of Red Bull and coffee injected right into his veins. Also the car happens to have two gigantic turbos. That is how fast the weekend goes by. And then Monday invariably rolls around again and the week starts all over.
