Happy Tuesday!!
I know most people say TGIF, but I’ve always said TGIT! For as long as I can remember, I have loved Tuesdays. Anyone who has ever spent a Tuesday with me, also knows I absolutely love Tuesdays!
I think it started back in 5th grade when I started reciting the Pledge of Allegiance on Tuesday mornings. I would wake up every Tuesday morning so unbelievably excited to get to school so I could read the Pledge of Allegiance over the school intercom for everyone in school to hear.Little did I know this would be early indicator of my love to be the center of attention and should have made it clear to my parents that I would either a) be a movie star or b) work in PR to keep people in the spotlight.
This is love of Tuesdays that stuck with me. In high school, I was asked to read the morning announcements and I chose to announce them on Tuesdays! I did it for two years and absolutely loved it! In the middle of my senior year, I was asked to announce on Monday mornings and to be honest, I always forgot and only realized it was my day to announce when I heard someone else do the announcements in my place.
I think it also helps that most of my favorite TV shows have always come on Tuesdays. The list includes (but is not limited to): Dawson’s Creek, Gilmore Girls, Buffy, Veronica Mars, Roswell and One Tree Hill. This kept me excited to have Tuesday arrive so I can see what Lorelai and Rory had going on that week.
I’m not saying every Tuesday of my life has been great. In fact, most haven’t. I’ve had a bunch of really sad things happen on Tuesdays. In fact, I’ve noticed most really great things happen to me on Thursdays.
Also on the flip side, anyone who works in public relations knows that Tuesdays are horrible. They are busy and usually require a little more than an 8 hour day. This is mostly because people are scrambling to get their press releases ready and hold events for Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday is a horrible day to do anything in PR because most people are still recovering from the weekend.
Even after all that, I still love Tuesdays. I always wear my best outfits on Tuesdays, I try to keep a positive attitude and I always do my best to wish everyone a happy Tuesday (ask my former colleagues).
Do any of you have a random favorite day of the week?
