This is EASILY the best of the day mix-ups. I mean, a “thinking-its-Wednesday-when-its-actually-Thursday” is pretty good, because it’s like “Hey! One day closer to the weekend than I thought!” But this is like the king of day mix-ups, because you’re all ready to slug out a whole other day at the office, when all of a sudden you’re like “Wait!??! Friday! AWESOME! Weekend baby… here I come!!”
Obviously, any day mix-up of the form “I thought it was day n, when it is actually day n-1″ is the WORST.
I think you misunderstood what Freddo was talking about. It would be like you thought it was Thursday when it actually was Wednesday and you would have more working days you thought.
Colby was talking about the first part of Freddo’s words. It’s even better to think you’re two days behind friday than just one, unless you love your job.
Obviously, any day mix-up of the form “I thought it was day n, when it is actually day n-1″ is the WORST.
Except when you thing it’s Sunday but it really is Saturnday and you have one more holiday than you thought, which is just as awesome than thinking it’s Thursday when it’s Friday.

Wheww…Saw the site linked from some article or another as a webbie winner and just clicked across to check things out…Then spent the last how-ever-many days refusing to read the current days post until I caught up from 1000…Glad I did…This place is just a total fountain of grins…Thanks ever so much for all the concentrated…
Interesting, no-one came up with ‘thinking it’s Monday but really it’s Sunday’ as being the best. I mean there are only so many permutations and this makes ‘thinking it’s day n when really it’s day n-1 is the worst’ a FAIL. I mean really, no-one thought of that? Why, is there some hole in our collective consciousness? Does that never happen so why go there?. This seems really weird to me.
This just happended to me…waking up at 10:30 am on a Friday morning walking around the house thinking it’s Saturday, checking appointments in my cell phone calendar..BAM!!!, the calendar says, it’s Friday NOT Saturday..Double checked a few times thinking there might have been some thing wrong with my cell phone..NO the cell phone is correct, it’s Friday. The worst thing was to call in to work about the delay..The good thing was, not sure if it’s a good or bad sign, but my boss asked me take the day off and rest.
except when you have a HEAP of homework and assignments to start… and theyre all due the next week. (actually what my current situation is like :( not awesome, at all.
It is awsome when you’re ready to groan through Thursday then someone says ‘it’s Friday you doofus’ and then the whole day seems a little bighter. And when you get to tell someone else it’s Friday when they thought it was thursday or even Wednesday, and you get to see their face light up, it’s a magical moment. Sometimes the day mixup can be annoying though like this one week where everyday I woke up I thought it was Friday. Every. Day. It was torture.
I always have the opposite happen to me :( and that thing of thinking its friday every day happened the other week as well. although once i thought it was thursday and my friend told me it was friday and i yelled out “YES ITS FRIDAY!” and the people in the canteen line beside me turned to stare… but it was worth it :D

Wow. This happens to me so freaking often its ridiculous. You are so right it is absolutely awesome.
The problem is, in this case I thought it was Friday until right now. Got to run and get ironing…

I have to disagree. Last week I thought it was Wednesday on a Friday, then BAM! week over. It’s like an unexpected 3-day work week.

Not true if you think it is Sunday or Monday…

I’ve never had that. I always just get the “thinking it’s Tuesday when it’s actually Monday.” It’s the worst!

I second this motion!
May 15, 2009 at 7:48 am
OMG…so good!
Agreeing with Alice that equivalent would be, thinking it’s Sunday when it’s still Saturday.
love the blog :)

This is amazing! Although I’ve also experienced the opposite – thinking it was Friday when it was actually Thursday. Now that’s just NOT joyous.
May 15, 2009 at 9:51 am
What’s even more awesome was when you were a kid, and had the whole summer off, and generally didn’t know / care what day of the week it ever was!
May 15, 2009 at 10:59 am
I would have to totally agree with you.

Timely post. I have been mentally one day behind all week!
May 16, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I love that feeling!
May 16, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Except if you still have to work the weekend, like a lot of people do.
May 16, 2009 at 9:07 pm
This was great when I went to school. Now I sometimes wish time would go slower.
May 17, 2009 at 10:16 am
WOW this is so true! its happened to me so many times!!
May 17, 2009 at 10:37 am

Do you think I am loosing it or is this normal?
October 27, 2009 at 7:15 pm
this NEVER happens – it’s always the other way around.. i.e. thinking it’s Friday when it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Thinking it’s Sunday when it’s Saturday is quite common, however.
November 16, 2009 at 10:28 pm
OMG i love when that happens and I’m at school! I get to go home and just be lazyy
July 25, 2010 at 6:38 am

Some days are so good, I wish they could repeat, while others, I should have stayed in bed.
June 19, 2010 at 11:46 am
Wotcher!
I always get excited when it’s Saturday but I think it’s Sunday… That’s my favourite behind having it be Sunday when I think it’s Monday!
Cheers,

I usually get stuck with the opposite. Very not awesome
