While most people in the workplace tend to be particularly blacked out about what’s happening around them, sometimes there are hints about your desires in life–particularly for the weekend–that can’t be ignored by even the most self-consumed, deadened of employees. After so many of the first four days of the week spent stifling your true emotions and hankerings, when Friday comes, an office worker can have the tendency to get a little more, shall we say, ribald than usual.
This risquéness, this emboldenment that comes with the territory of the end of the week might prompt an office worker to take one too many liberties in his behavior, perhaps even going so far as to wear a declarative t-shirt (t-shirt!–scandal!) that says all the things he himself isn’t truly invigorated enough to by the prospect of a two-day reprieve that will make everyone forget what he expressed on Friday. That is, until he actually doesn’t show up on Monday after hinting at fleeing the country for a better life.
