All The Good Names Were Taken

I used to hate Tuesdays, back when I was disenchanted with a desk job that I had in my 20s, and during parts of high school. In both situations, I couldn't wait for the weekend, and so I hated Tuesdays. Mondays, at least, were a new start to the week and might bring something interesting. Wednesdays were hump days, Thursdays were the day before Fridays, and Fridays, everybody loves. But Tuesday? What to do with Tuesdays? I thought they were worthless.

But now I love my career, and I find that Tuesday's are one of the best days of the week. Often, I haven't hit my stride on Monday, and I'm getting used to coming back to work after a nice weekend. Wednesday-Friday, I'm actually dreading the weekend (a little) if I'm behind on work. So Tuesday feels safe, with still plenty of time in the week to get things done, and I'm no longer sluggish, like I am some Mondays. It's sort of the best time of the work week for me.

Maybe I'm a workaholic, yes, but I do love the weekends, so I think I'm a healthy workaholic. More to the point, and the point I'm trying to make is that it may be a good barometer to use, if you want to know how your life is going. Do you dread Tuesdays in general, or enjoy them? Is there any day you dread? If so, you might want to ask why. If not, then you're probably in good shape.
