Here is a little encouragement for people everywhere. Yoda's tough-love!  

FRIDAY is MY SATURDAY....

Sounds whacky but it's true: for 2 months my weekend will be sooner than everyone else's... Only downside to that is my Monday is also sooner than everybody else's. Ah, well, ya take the good with the bad.

That reminds me: here are a couple of StarTek parodies I'm guilty of from a while back...

KANKLES: StarTek Monday
sung to the tune of BANGLES: MANIC MONDAY)....

It’s 6:40 AM
I was just in the middle of a call
I was talkin' to a fella
He might as well have been a wall
I can't get irate
'Cause then my call just won't get “Resolved.”
These are the days
When you wish reactions could be absolved.

It's just another StarTek Monday (woah oh woah)
It’s actually “my Wednesday” (woah oh woah)
Wish it was Wednesday (woah oh woah)
’Cause that’s really “my Friday" (woah oh woah oh woah)
For now it’s just a StarTek Monday

Have to watch the clock, you see
Got to be logged in by nine
And if I have to take a pee
I prob’ly won’t make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to run from here to way over there
Blame it on the strain
It’s ‘bout all your kidneys can bear

All of the shifts
Why did I bother to pick out this shift?
For down-town??
It doesn't matter
I have to pay all the bills somehow
Employment's down... I really need to sleep in more…
”MidShift” homey - doesn’t that sound choice?

Time it goes so fast
When you're more alert…

Average LaVain: StarTek Night * (sung to the tune of AVRIL LAVIGNE: I'M WITH YOU)

I'm lounging in my chair * My thoughts are very stark * I thought there'd be a call by now * There’s nothing but Dead Air * I spin my pen around * I'm listening but there’s no sound *

Isn't anyone tryin’ to call me? * Won't somebody let me go home? * It's a StarTek night * Don’t want to fall asleep tonight * Won’t you call me on the phone * get into my queue * I don’t know who you are but I... * I'll help you *

I’m tying my shoe-lace * slapping my own face * is anybody there? He-llo? * Guess nothing’s going on * I really need to stress * That this feels like theTwilight Zone * Since no one’s tryin’ to call Care * Won't somebody come take me home? *

It's a dreary night * Never been so bored in my life * Won’t you let me read a book or a magazine * I don’t know about you but I... * I'm so through *

Hey, why is everybody still snoozing? * Maybe I'm just out of my mind * Yeah yeah yeah... *

It's a drop-dead night * Trying to keep my eyelids wide * Please don't hit me on the head * I’ll have to get you * Didn't see who you are * But I... I'll sue you * I'll sue you

Alternate ending: It's a drop-dead night * Trying to keep my eyelids wide * Yeah toothpicks should do the trick * But if that's not enough* Then I... I'll use glue * I'll use glue.

(I think I like the glue one better - how bout you? How bout you?)
