TGI... T?

Overheard while getting a cup of coffee in the office this morning (translated from the original Hebrew):

"What a week!"
"I know, right? I'm so glad it's finally Thursday."

It took me a minute to process that: yeah, Thursday's good, it means you're nearly there, but why such an intense level of relief? Oh, right, there's no work tomorrow.

Because the Israeli workweek is Sunday-Thursday. Which I've known for a long time, now. But "Thank G-d It's Thursday" still isn't something that my brain expects to hear.
