27 Thoughts Young Professionals Have on Fridays Between 4pm and 5pm

Oh the magic hour: the last of the workweek. 

Well, if yours is anything like ours it’s not actually all that magic – it’s rather terrifying. 

So for those of you in the grind, we hope you can associate with the stream of thoughts that plague the best/worst 60 minutes of our lives… 

4:00
Only an hour to go, only an hour to go, only an hour to go…

4:01
Less than an hour to go, less than an hour to go, less than an hour to go…

4:05
Should I go to the bathroom? I don’t have to but it would kill five minutes.

4:10
Did I forget to wash my hands?

4:12
Will anyone notice if I just close my eyes a little. Only for a minute.

4:15
What am I going to drink tonight?

4:17
Can people tell I’m not working or do they just not care that I’m not working?

4:20
This is when I used to get high before I joined the ‘real world’. I’ve changed.

4:21
I should try and get some weed for tonight.

4:22
Is the clock broken?

4:25
I should text someone to make some plans.

4:30
I’m totally going to go to the gym after this and put in a killer work out.

4:31
What am I going to drink though?

4:33
They better not want to go to a club. There’s no way I’m dressing up to go out tonight. 

4:34
What am I going to wear?

4:35
I’m hungry. Hella hungry. I could eat everything right now.

4:40
I shouldn’t have had that last cup of coffee. Definite mistake.

4:42
F*ck the gym, I’ve worked hard this week. I’m going to get my drank on.

4:44
I swear to god if anyone sends me more work at this point I’m going to break my computer to get out of doing it.

4:46
It’s really happening. The clock isn’t broken – TIME IS MOVING AND THE WEEKEND IS HERE.

4:48
Are you f*%king kidding me? TWO minutes? That was an eternity.

4:49
I should go to the bathroom again. Who cares if someone notices, I’ll just hold my stomach and make a weird face as I go – no one questions that combo.

4:54
Nice. Feeling good. I can do this.

4:56
Okay, the clock on my phone has officially stopped. I’m going to break something.

4:57
Breathe. Big breath, big breath, innnnnn and oooouuuttt.

4:58
I’m shutting everything down. I’m out suckers, if you can’t contact me the day is over!

4:59
Sh*t, House of Cards was released today!? Well, I guess my weekend is screwed…
