What In The World Is "Hump Day?"

I keep hearing references to Hump Day on the radio. There are several channels on satellite TV that have Hump Day special programming. This Hump Day thing is not good.

Here's why: Hump Day refers to Wednesday, being the middle of a 5-day workweek. It's apparently supposed to be an uphill struggle to get to Wednesday and then once you're over the hump (Wednesday) it's a simple slide into the weekend.

In other words, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be tough because you don't want to be at work. Thursday looks a little brighter because you're only one day away from Quitting Time on Friday. Friday, you just coast through it trying to get to five o'clock without a lot of effort.

If that's your attitude about work - QUIT YOUR JOB!

Can you imagine someone else in the office actually trying to be productive while having to work with someone who watches the clock from Monday morning. Wow, if that's you, do us all a favour and quit. Man, you're wasting your time and ours.

And get those thoughts out of your head that any day of the week is more difficult than any other day. If you think that, you'll create it. And yes, you will create your own hell at work.

Every day above ground is a good day, just ask anyone laying in a cemetary. Think about how much you can actually get done today, how much closer you are to your goal (that is assuming that you have one but if you consider today Hump Day, I'll bet you don't have a goal, let alone a direction for your life).

If you think your job sucks, the world sucks, your relationship sucks, sales suck ... then maybe it's because you suck.

The world doesn't owe you anything ... it was here first.

Change your mind on how you approach work and you will change your results. Yes it is that simple.
