Explaining Friday with Charts and Graphs


Dear Readers!  Good News!  It’s Friday here at the blog.  What does Friday mean to us?

For some of us, Friday means it’s the last day of the work week and that the next two days will be spent in pursuits of our own choosing!

On the other hand, for those of us who are off all week and who have to go to work on Saturday and Sunday then Friday means it’s actually Sunday and tomorrow isn’t really Saturday at all — it’s Monday, meaning of course, it won’t actually be Friday, in a case like that, until Sunday!

I know it sounds confusing, Dear Readers, perhaps this  helpful chart will be helpful:

Helpful Chart created by Linda Vernon

Now as you can see by this helpful chart, if it’s Sunday, and you have to go to work on Thursday, but you have four Wednesdays off in a row,  it won’t actually be Friday until Tuesday afternoon.  Or maybe it’s the other way around.  I’m alway getting those two confused.

Maybe this graph will better illustrate my point:

Graph that better illustrates my point
Graph That Will Better Illustrate My Point

There now!  Isn’t that better?   Oh, and if you look in the lower-right hand corner of the Chart That Better Illustrates My Point, you will see that Friday tolerances are not cumulative!   Wait . . . that doesn’t take into account leap year.  Oh I’m so embarrassed.  Wrong chart!

Here’s the chart I should have shown you in the first place:

The Chart I Should Have Showed You in the First Place
The Chart I Should Have Shown You in the First Place

As you can see, if you are here, and it’s Friday but you have to work on the weekend, then today is really uh . . . wait . . . okay, now even I’m getting confused.   Ha ha!  Isn’t that the way it always is on Fridays/Sundays (or possibly Wednesdays)?

Screw it,  Dear Readers!  Let’s just cut to the chase and go directly to the chart that is Self-Explanatory:

The Chart That Is Self Explanatory

I think you’ll agree, Dear Readers, that the person who came up with this chart to explain the different days of the week as they pertain to Fridays is a self-explanatory genius!  After all, it’s not every mind that can boil down a complicated “Friday” concept to  simple spleens, elbows and inner thys.

But just in case, you are still a little confused about whether it’s Friday, Sunday or next Tuesday, I’m pulling out the stops and throwing in a picture just to be on the safe side.  But not just any picture.  I am throwing in a picture that tells a thousand words.

A Picture That Tells a Thousand Words

The Picture That Tells a Thousand Words.
A Picture That Tells a Thousand Words

And there you have it, Dear Readers!  There’s really nothing left to say about Friday, Monday or any other day of the week as far as I’m concerned.

Have a great weekend!

Until next time . . . I love you

  1. you forgot to mention this guy above me who’s clearly desperate for readers, As for the chart though! the first one? who said you could read mine huh?? come on 😛

  2. I think if you had marked a small oblong linotetrar with a four pin base, this all would have been much clearer.

    I think this weekend I need to go somewhere uncharted… 😉

    • Well I guess my large oblong linotetrars with the three pin base mistake is all over the internet now. There’s just no secrets on WordPress anymore . . . sigh . . .

  3. I think you just fried what’s left of my brain. I appreciate the graphs and charts, actually. They clear everything up… yeah right. You’re not a structural engineer are you, Linda? All that talk of pins and base connections got me a bit excited… as did that wonderfully explanatory but sexually-ambivalent human figure.

    • Moi a structural engineer? I’m everything an engineer isn’t, I’m afraid Trent. I use a lot of duct tape. I never measure anything. I never follow directions, I’ve never followed a recipe to the letter in my life. I’m a “Any bridge I made would never meet in the middle kind of person” I drive my mechanical engineering husband mad. But then, he drives me mad too so it evens out nicely .

Please leave a comment. I need help finishing my sentences.
