Caught the following conversation between two colleagues who were walking by my office today:
"Hey, is today Tuesday or Wednesday?"
"Uh, Tuesday"
(It is, of course, Wednesday as I write this)

That's actually a real problem in newspapers. Because whenever you write a story, "today" really refers to whatever day it is tomorrow. I once covered and wrote about a court hearing on a Wednesday but somehow thought it was a Thursday and wrote that the thing had happened on Thursday. No one noticed until I did, mortified, the next morning.
Speaking of which, it sure feels like it should be Thursday already.
Even though tomorrow is Friday, the best part of the weekend is really on Thursday night. Why you ask? Because the entire weekend is still ahead of you. Once you leave work on Friday, the weekend starts getting shorter by the second and before you know it, it's Sunday night and you have work tomorrow. The beauty of Thursday night is that thewhoel weekend is still there. Even though it sucks to wake up for work on Friday, the best part of the weekend is already over because once you walk out of work, the weekend is basically over already. Thus, Thursday Night is the NEW Friday !
Though by that rationale, wouldn't the best part of the week be Wednesday night, because it's the eve of Thursday, and your Thursday night isn't yet ruined? When does it stop?
(I think only when you stop dreading Monday)
