Whether you are working remotely at home or in the office, chances are you’re feeling it. It’s what those in Germany would recognize as “Freitag”, in honor of the Germanic Goddess “Frigg” (their equivalent of the Roman Goddess “Venus”).
Sometimes it’s freaky, and yet people often thank God for it. It can bring people together, while oftentimes making them forget. It can be the source of great savings, but in the 1800’s, it led many to financial disaster. While thought to be unlucky in many cultures (particularly on the 13th), it can represent both a beginning and end.
So, take a moment with us at Moteventure to appreciate the golden child of weekdays…Happy Friday!
