Muesday

n. The day of the week that comes into existence only on a 4-day work week. It is to be more dreaded than a normal day as it has been known to not only possess the evil traits of Monday, but also has the ability to slow down time making a 4-day work week feel like a 40-day work week.

e.g. I can't believe it is only 10:30 AM on Muesday and I have enough work to last two weeks.

Vocabulary (aka WotW)

We (the staff) feel it is necessary to rename the Word of the Week posts to "Vocabulary" due to the frequency of new words needing to be dissemniated.

So without further ado...

May often be found in electronic mail format or public reprimand from superiors. Also associated with dread and helplessness.
