Payday Is A Beautiful Thing

We have all experienced it. You walk past a coworker and you see that she looks different on this day. She has kind of a permanent smile going on, and she laughs really easily. She looks happy, buoyant, and you’re like, “What happened to you, girl?”

She looks at you and says, “Hey, it’s Friday, and it’s payday.”

I love my job, but a lot of people are not fortunate enough to be able do something that they enjoy doing for a living, and for them, work is all about payday and I can understand that. But whether you like your job or not, it is a great feeling to get to the end of the week, wake up on Friday, and have a nice direct deposit waiting for you in your bank account.

I know that you can make a lot of money in sales, but I have never been drawn to selling for a few different reasons. One of them is that I like a consistent flow of income that I can count on. It would be extremely stressful to me if I was to go to work every day and not know when, if, or how much I was going to be paid.

For me, there are credit card companies, a car loan company, and an anxious landlord looking forward to my payday just about as much as I am, but there is still something left over to have some fun with, and that is what payday is all about.

When you have friends at work and that day rolls around, you all know that you can afford to chill at happy hour or go out to eat, and payday is often a time for coworkers to get together, let off some steam, and do some bonding. Our employers take on a lot of responsibility knowing that their employees, and their employees’ families, depend so much on that check, but it also must be rewarding for them to realize that they are providing families with a means of supporting themselves.

It’s good to work hard, and in my opinion, it’s good to play hard, too. Payday is playday, and that is why payday is a beautiful thing.
