I’m in a pretty good mood today, which I believe is because it’s day 2 of the work week and we are already at HUMPDAY.

True Confessions: I always thought Hump Day was the nastiest term and then I found out it was called that because we are “over the hump” of the week. I think it happened that way because I heard the term “Hump Day” when I was in Jr. High and that’s all that Jr. High kids think about. And so I thought the whole thing was that people went around work making overt passes at one another because Wednesday is Hump Day so that day, it’s oooo-kaay. Heh. Oh, and I first figured out the “over the hump” thing approximately…24-36 months ago. That’s right. I made it well into my 30s thinking that Wednesday was America’s National Get-It-On Day.

And on a tangentially related note…every day of my life as an Editor, I thank my lucky stars that this hasn’t happened on my watch.

  1. Would you believe that I thought the exact same thing until probably college, when I made an ass of myself and then someone corrected me.
