It resides right in the middle of the work week, hidden away from the 'gloomy' Monday and equally distant from the 'happening' Friday. But more often than not it is the Wednesday which is the toughest day of the week to get by. I have always felt that Monday has had its unfair share of disrepute. I agree it being the first day of the week, what after an amazing weekend, but not each and every Monday is like that. I mean there must be occasions where you really want to get to Monday and get that thing started at office or get to Monday so that you can swap some healthy office gossip with your peers, or maybe get to Monday just to get past an otherwise dull weekend. Monday most often has a flavor of excitement to it, for it is a start of something new. Yet pop culture associates it with a half-asleep clerk hanging onto his morning coffee for dear life!!!
Wednesday is the one who got away. It is poised exactly in the middle. It is the day when stuff shifts into high gear more so because the deadlines are to be met by the last day of the week. If there is one day we should absolutely hate then it must be Wednesday. Remember how you had to put in extra hours on Friday to meet the deadline- well blame Wednesday, for I bet that was when you started realistically thinking about the deadline anyways. Wednesday reminds me of that middle portion or the innings in a 50-over ODI, where slower bowlers/spinners are operating on both ends and the motive is not to take wickets but just to stymie the flow of runs. Also the batsmen are in no hurry either, for they have already scored at a healthy rate earlier, when the fielders were in the circle and now they are much content to just get the singles and the doubles wait until the final overs come into play before injecting excitement in the game.
Today is a Wednesday and things are no different. It is a bigger drag than Monday, and yet no one has anything to say about it. I know it is too little too late for Wednesday to be castigated and Monday to be brought back to its full glory, but let it be known that there is at least somebody who despises Wednesday more than the Monday!!!

ok so I have conditioned myself to believe that Thursday is truly Friday. And hence celebrate Thursday night with something fun. So Wednesday doesn't seem as bad coz its soo close to Thursday. Now, the day that does deserve some hate is Tuesday! It's the toughest day for me to get by..if only I could start celebrating every night like it's Friday night...
Well thats a tough one cos then the every next day would most definitely not be a Saturday!!! :D
