It's Thursday Or As I'd Like to Call It...: Funny Journal for Work

Product Information

While most of us are waiting for Friday, Thursday is often overlooked. Give some love to the forgotten day with these fun facts about Thursday!

Thursday is perhaps the worst day of the week. It’s nothing in itself; it just reminds you that the week has been going on too long.” – Nicci French In Catholic liturgy, Thursday is referred to in Latin as feria quinta. Portuguese, unlike other Romance languages, uses the word quinta-feira, meaning "fifth day of liturgical celebration", that comes from the Latin feria quinta used in religious texts where it was not allowed to consecrate days to pagan gods. For days, this causes confusion because the day is not an object that we can see coming in the same way as a bus. So for many people next Friday would refer to the coming Friday. However, this is actually a less common use – and normally next Friday means the Friday in the following week. Consider these two sentences: Restaurants and institutions throughout the massive country did not serve meat on Thursdays, opting for a meal of fish or seafood instead. This is Thursday fun fact we can get on board with! 10. Two important ThursdaysThere are so many days in a week but my favorite is still Thursday because it is totally fabulous.” – Unknown Find sources: "Thursday"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( November 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Thursday is one of the days of the week that I strive to maintain a positive outlook.” – Byron Pulsifer It’s time to embrace the crazy beautiful mess that you are because it’s almost the weekend.” – Unknown

This is one big sandbox that we’re all playing in, and we’re all experimenting in,” Fitting said. “Who knows what it’s going to lead to?”

That’s right, Thor, the God of Thunder himself, is the namesake of Thursday. It’s fitting too. Wednesday is named for Odin, Thor’s father.

Weeks are ambiguous, though. Personally, I feel that a calendar week runs from Monday to Sunday. At least in American culture, we all refer to the 2 day weekEND. I think our traditional calendar here shows Sunday as the first day of the week because of a biblical reference. But even if we all agree that the next week starts after a weekend, there’s still the problem of calendar week vs. current 7 day period beginning with today. When one says next week, they could either be referring to this coming Monday through Sunday period, because they would refer to the current Monday through Sunday period as this week. Or, they could be referring to 7-13 days from now. It all depends on what a person is currently meaning by the word week. Week can’t be standardized, but should be understood by context. According to Nostradamus' prediction (Century 1, Quatrain 50), a powerful (but otherwise unidentified) leader who will threaten "the East" will be born of three water signs and takes Thursday as his feast day. [20] In this example, you could readily use It has instead of It’s without altering the meaning. Using it’s rather than it is / it has also lends a less formal, more conversational tone to writing and conversation. Its vs. it’s examples All descriptive sentences contain tense. If we use past tense, than “this” means this past. Conversely, if we’re speaking in future tense, it becomes this coming. Last Tuesday is referencing past tense, so it would be the Tuesday before this past Tuesday. If it’s Thursday, I can say two days ago was this past Tuesday, or just this Tuesday (combined with past tense), and that last Tuesday was 9 days ago.

Naming Thursday - Thor’s Day

This countdown can be a useful motivational tool. Rather than think of deadlines in terms of weeks (which can lead to procrastination), you can find out exactly how many free hours left you have before a deadline. As a working parent who tries to squeeze in extra hours around the kids' schedule, I find knowing exactly how much "free" time I have left in a week useful for planning purposes. I’m sorry that THIS & NEXT are confusing to you in terms of days. If you were able to understand what I’ve explained, you’d be able to see that there are no holes or ambiguities if one communicates these things in the way I’ve advocated. Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.” — Willie Nelson

By taking the time to actually look at why you failed, you can find it much easier to find solutions. Many of us know that we failed – but why?” – Michael Chapman I disagree that ‘this Friday’ is nonsense without a context, as the ‘pointer’ or indicator to tell us is based on our understanding of what day today is. The same way we would understand ‘this week’ to be the one the current day belongs to, we can understand that ‘this Friday’ refers to the one that belongs to the current week – within reason (as the article and comments show, this is not necessarily that simple, but it is a starting point). In some high schools in the United States during the 1950s and the 1960s, rumours said that if someone wore green on Thursdays, it meant that he or she was gay or lesbian. [18] She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over.” – David GestThis also works for talking about the day or week before last, and the day or week after next. There are no holes in this procedure. There are holes in every other way that people are using next and last. Reply Lurker, Manfred. The Routledge Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons, Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005. p.57 Quit overthinking and just do more of what makes you happy and alive. Hoping that you have a fantastic Thursday!” – Unknown We often think about personality in relation to our Zodiac sign, but there are astrological elements based on the day we are born. People born on Thursday are ruled by the God Jupiter and are said to be good advisors and teachers. They are also known to have a straight-forward attitude. 19. Da Vinci was a Thursday’s Child In Judaism the Torah is read in public on Thursday mornings, and special penitential prayers are said on Thursday, unless there is a special occasion for happiness which cancels them.
